Abstract
This paper presents an improved control strategy for both the rotor side converter (RSC) and grid side converter (GSC) of a
distributed doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion system (WECS) using Genetic Algorithm
(GA) technique. The primary objective of this control scheme is to track the optimal power extracted from the wind according
to the power- speed curve characteristic of the wind turbine. Based on genetic algorithm technique, specific fitness functions
related to both rotor and stator currents and voltages are presented in order to obtain the best values for controller gains of both
RSC and GSC controllers in order to achieve an optimal output power and maintaining system dynamic stability. MATLAB
/Simulink were used to build the dynamic model and simulate the system. The model performance was also compared with the
detailed model developed by matlab simulink to show the validity of presented study.

1. Introduction
With the growing penetration of wind energy into power
grids, the impact of WT on power system stability is of
increasing concern. In development of the wind turbine (WT)
techniques, several types of WT have been used. Recently,
the WT with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is
becoming popular [1], because its topology has many
advantages in terms of variable speed operation, relatively
high efficiency, four-quadrant active and reactive power
capabilities, flexible control and small converter size [2]. The
DFIG can supply power at constant voltage and constant
frequency while the rotor speed varies. This makes the DFIG
suitable for variable speed wind power generation. The main
advantage of using DFIG is the fields oriented decouple
control (FOC) for control of active and reactive power [1].A
decouple control strategy for active and reactive power of
DFIG has been explained and widely used in [3-9].
Due to their simple structure and robust performance,
proportional-integral (PI) controllers are the most common
controllers used in the decoupled control for the DFIG.
However, the success of the PI controller, and consequently
the performance of the DFIG depend on the appropriate
choice of the PI gains. Find tuning the PI parameters using
the traditional trial and error method to optimize the
performance consumes a lot of time, and it is cumbersome
especially when the system is nonlinear [10]. Recently,
intelligent optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithms
(GAs), tabu search algorithm, simulated annealing (SA) and
particle swarm optimization (PSO) have been successfully
used as optimization tools in various applications, including
the online tuning of the controller parameters [11-13].
Genetic algorithm (GA)-based optimization methods is
introduced in [14] to obtain the controller gains for rotor side
DFIG converter with the main objective of improving the
DFIG ride through capability. It has been used in static VAR

compensator controller parameter design in [15], and hydro-
generator governor parameter tuning in [16]. In [17], an
optimum design procedure using GA’s is introduced for the
controller used in the frequency converter of (VSWT) driven
(PMSG).
PSO has also been employed; to design the optimal control
for the WT with DFIG in [18], in optimal design of automatic
voltage controller [19]. It used to adjust the DFIG controllers
gains with the objective of reducing the rotor current [18.]
and also to improve the small-signal stability [20].
In this paper GA technique has been employed to optimize
the controller parameters of both RSC and GSC of DFIG
based WT in order to validate good power tracking
performance and thus confirming the effectiveness of this
proposed control strategy. A detailed model for representation
DFIG based wind farm in power system dynamics
simulations is presented. MATLAB/SIMULINK dynamic
software program is used for this study [matlab 2008].
2. DFIG Based WECS
A. Wind Energy Conversion System Background
The aerodynamic model of the wind turbine can be
characterized by the Cp −λ –β curves. Cp is the power
coefficient, which is a function of tip speed ratio λ and pitch
angle β. The tip speed ratio λ is given by [21].
λ � ���� (1)
The relationship of Cp, λ and β can be described as [22]:
��, � � �� ����� � �� � ��� ����/�� � � � (2)
�!" �
�!#$.$&'� - $.$�)
'*#�� (3)
The coefficients c1 to c6 are: c1 = 0.5176, c2 = 116, c3 = 0.4,
c4 = 5, c5 = 21 and c6 = 0.0068. Maximum value of Cp
(Cpmax = 0.48) is achieved for β = 0 degree, at the optimal
tip speed ratio. This particular value of λ is about λopt = 8.1.
The Cp- λ characteristics is illustrated in Fig. 1. The output
power of the turbine is given by the following equation:
+, � 0.5��, �/012� (4)
The target optimum power from a wind turbine can be
written as [23]:
+,_,45 �6789� (5)
K;<= � 0.5πρC<ABCR)/λ;<=� (6)
Fig. 2 illustrates the optimal mechanical power at different
wind speeds. From the figure, the turbine mechanical power
is a function of rotor speed at various wind speeds. The
power for a certain wind speed has its maximum value at a
certain rotor speed called optimum rotor speed which is
corresponds to the optimum tip speed ratio λopt.

B. DFIG Model
The simplified schematic diagram of the wind energy
conversion system based on a DFIG, studied in this paper is
shown in Fig 3. In this diagram, mechanical energy is
produced by a WT and provided to a DFIG through a gear
box. The stator winding of the DFIG is directly connected to
the grid, whereas the rotor winding is fed by back to back
pulse width modulation (PWM) converter. The grid side
converter (GSC) is connected to the grid via three chokes to
improve the current harmonic distortion. The rotor side
converter (RSC) controls the power flow from the DFIG to
the grid by controlling the rotor currents of the DFIG [24].
The mathematical model of DFIG, in per unit notation in d–q
reference frame is given bellow [10, 25]:

3. Genitic Algorithm Based
Optimal control
A genetic algorithm (GA) is a method for solving both
constrained and unconstrained optimization problems based
on a natural selection process that mimics biological
evolution. The algorithm repeatedly modifies a population of
individual solutions. At each step, the genetic algorithm
randomly selects individuals from the current population and
uses them as parents to produce the children for the next
generation. Over successive generations, the population
"evolves" toward an optimal solution [22].
The genetic algorithm works as the following steps:
A. Initial Population
The algorithm begins by creating a random initial population.
The initial population usually contains 20 individuals, which
is the default value of Population size in population options
in matlab.
B. Creating next Generation
At each step, the genetic algorithm uses the current
population to create the children that make up the next
generation. The algorithm selects a group of individuals in
the current population, called parents, who contribute their
genes—the entries of their vectors—to their children. The
algorithm usually selects individuals that have better fitness
values as parents. The genetic algorithm creates three types
of children for the next generation:
Elite children are the individuals in the current generation
with the best fitness values. These individuals
automatically survive to the next generation.
Crossover children are created by combining the vectors of
a pair of parents in the current population. At each
coordinate of the child vector, the default crossover
function randomly selects an entry, or gene, at the same
coordinate from one of the two parents and assigns it to
the child.
Mutation children are created by introducing random
changes, or mutations, to a single parent. Fig. 4 presents
the flowchart steps of GA technique.
To use the GA solver, we need to provide at least two input
arguments, a fitness function and the number of variables that
are the controller gains in this study. Besides the boundaries
of the parameters that necessary to limit the solution with in
ranges that called the design space.
4. Simulation Results
The proposed GA strategy has been tested for validation
using DFIG whose ratings are given in Matlab detailed

model of DFIG [22]. The wind speed in this model is
maintained constant at 10 m/s. A remote fault occurs on the
120 kv system during the period of (0.1 – 0.13 s) as shown in
Fig. 5. We will compare the improvement obtained in the
system dynamic performance when applying GA procedure
to design the controller gains, with those results obtained
using the classical PI controller that used in Matlab. For the
same operation condition, GA is used to obtain the optimal
controller gains for the rotor and stator side converters.
Fig. 4. GA Technique.
The control strategy aims to get measured values of the
power absorbed to the grid equal or closer to the reference
values. The reference active power is generated based on the
wind speed value and wind turbine characteristics as
mentioned in (5), while the reactive power is determined as a
function of the desired reactive power converter
compensation. In this study, the reference reactive power is
set to zero. The control system uses a torque controller in
order to maintain the turbine speed at 1.09 pu.
In the GSC and RSC control loops, there are four PI
controllers and each of them has proportional gain and
integral gain. The behaviour of the converter depends on the
control system. By tuning these controllers, the grid side and
rotor side converter’s performance will be improved to
achieve the optimal grid power without affecting the dynamic
system performance. In order to achieve this goal, the
following objective function for RSC will be designed [14]:
c� � d efg]^`h � fg] �| � efj]^`h � fj] �| �
kvLS[ � vFS[ (16)
To control the GSC controller gains, another objective
function will be added:
c[ � d efgl^`h � fgl �| � efjl^`h � fjl �| �
mvLn[ � vFn[ (17)
Whereiqg, idg, iqr, idr, vdg, vqg, vdr and vqr are the quadreture and
direct components of both RSC and GSC currents and
voltages.
The main goals to design the proposed objective functions
119 Hanan M. Askaria et al.: Optimal Power Control for Distributed DFIG Based WECS Using Genetic Algorithm Technique
are to minimize the over currents in both RSC and GSC
circuits through the terms in the functions related to the grid
and rotor side converter currents (iqg, idg, iqr and idr) besides
reducing the controller voltages as possible through the terms
related to (vdg, vqg, vdr and vqr), therefore, minimize losses as
well as optimal power utilization. So GA technique will be
applied to find automatically the optimal parameters for both
RSC and GSC controllers in order to optimize the objective
fitness functions. The controller parameters of the system can
be divided into two sets, four proportional – integral gains for
GSC controller namely, (KP1, KI1, KP2 and KI2) that express
the controller gains of DC Voltage link (outer loop) and grid
currents (inner loops). Another four controller gains for RSC
(KP3, KI3, KP4 and KI4) express the gains of stator reactive
power (outer loop) and rotor currents (inner loops)
respectively. This will be carried out through the following
two cases:
Case 1: Applying GA for both RSC and GSC using objective
functions F1 and F2.
Case 2: Applying GA for RSC only in order to optimize the
first objective function that related to the rotor side converter.
The boundaries for controller gains and their optimal values
that resulted from using GA solver for both cases are shown
in Tables I, II. The results are shown in Figures 6 to 23. The
model performance was also compared with the detailed
model developed by matlab simulink to show the validity of
presented study.
On general, the figures, by comparing the results with those
given using the classical PI controllers, illustrate that when
using GA technique, the dynamic response will be improved
for each of rotor and grid reference and measured currents
that expressed by the first and second terms in the objective
functions which minimize the error between the reference
and measured currents. This reflects in a better dynamic
performance for other DFIG quantities, especially for the
grid power curve which obviously becomes closer to its
reference value and thus the main objective from the
proposed GA technique will be achieved. The oscillations of
rotor voltage are reduced significantly, thus contributing to
better DFIG safety, and it’s very imperative to the grid
voltage stability.
The dc link voltage oscillations obviously decrease and
become nearest to its reference value even in case 2 where
the objective function is applied only for RSC, because of the
third term in the objective function that attained to optimize
the rotor voltage response. On general, the dc-link voltage
oscillations in both cases do not affect the continuous
operation of the system and consequently improving the
DFIG dynamic performance. Noteworthy that the tuning of
GSC controller gains using GA as in case 1, compared with
case 2, contributes in reducing the transient occurred through
the fault time interval in each of active and reactive power
curves as seen in the figures.
Overall, the GA based on the fitness objective functions used,
prove a quality to get the best tuning for the controller gains
in order to track the reference value of the power extracting
from the wind based on wind speed according to (5), besides
maintaining the dynamic system stability.
Note that, the average value of power in both cases 1 and 2
are around 0.48 while the average value for the reference is
about 0.47; it means a good power tracking has been
occurred in both cases. From the results of Figures and
Tables, it is cleared that the RSC controller is the most
effective factor to control the power. Noted that KI4 using GA
technique; has different two values if we compare between
case 1 and 2, while KP4 has the same value in both cases.This
drives us to understand the effect of the control gains. While
the proportional controller reduces the rise time, increase the
overshoot, decrease the settling time but with small amount
and reduce the steady state error, the integral controller has a
double effect. So we have left an important conclusion; since
the GA technique for GSC was not optimized (case 2),
reducing the over current in rotor circuit will cost increasing
the integral gain of rotor inner loop (KI4), thus decreasing the
settling time, steady state error and oscillations in the power
curve profile.

5. Conclusion
The simulation results show that the proposed GA technique
based on the fitness objective function, prove a quality to
find the best values of controller gains in the control loops of
DFIG rotor and grid side converters in order to track the
optimal power that can be extracted from the wind according
to the power - speed curve of wind turbine characteristic. A
complete simulation model is developed using MATLAB
Simulink environment. An important conclusion is emerged;
since the GA controller for GSC was not optimized, reducing
the over current in rotor circuit will cost increasing the
integral gain of rotor current and this will lead to decrease the
settling time, steady state error and oscillations in the power
curve profile.
