A Novel Adaptive Model Predictive Control Strategy for DFIG Wind Turbine with Parameter Variations in Complex Power Systems

In this paper, a novel adaptive model predictive control (MPC) strategy is proposed for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine (WT), which is integrated into a complex power system, in order to improve the power output tracking precision and dynamic performance. Considering the existence of parameter variations in DFIG, an adaptive parameter estimation method is firstly designed. By analysis of stability, the convergence of the parameter estimation algorithm is rigorously proved. Furthermore, the parameter estimation algorithm is effectively integrated into MPC to realize real-time optimal control of DFIG with the adaptive model. To achieve the rotor side converter (RSC) design based on adaptive MPC, the DFIG model is linearized. In addition, a virtual output compensation (VOC) strategy is adopted to alleviate the impact of model linearization errors on the MPC, especially the variation of the model parameter. The newly proposed adaptive MPC-based RSC is capable of greatly improving the tracking performance, meanwhile taking into account the realistic constraints under various operation conditions. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control method.
