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

American Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Vol. 1, No. 3, 2015, pp. 115-127 118

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.
