<p>In the recent years, the development and the exploitation of renewable energy knew a great evolution. Among these energy resources, the wind power represents an important potential for that the wind system has been the subject of several researches. The purpose of this study is to improve the power extracted from wind energy, taking into consideration the variation of wind speed which causes a problem in energy production. For this purpose, we have controlled the powers whether it is active or reactive delivered by the generator. This paper, presents essentially the modeling and control of doubly- fed induction generator (DFIG), which is connected to a variable speed wind turbine. Firstly, the model of the wind power system with the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategy is shown. Then, the modeling of doubly- fed induction generator (DFIG) and its power control is presented. Finnaly, to ensure the attitude of these controls the simulations is presented in the Matlab/Simulink environment.</p>

Background: Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is a dual input conventional asynchronous device connected across both stator and rotor, which also functions as an electrical transducer consuming up-to 30 % of the generated power during the rotor injection. This is the major concern with respect to the DFIG in terms of effective power generation. Methods: The proposed work provides the solution for this undesirable power loss by connecting the DFIG with an array of solar Photovoltaic (PV) panel through a conventional direct current bus using a boost converter. This research setup can work on the basis of indirect vector control algorithms applied at the rotor and grid converter level in order to maintain the constant DC voltage under arbitrary conditions. Results: Even the variations in voltage and frequency will be controlled with this novel approach. A simulation model of the 300KW solar PV array and a 2MW DFIG system is developed using MATLAB/Simulink environment. Conclusion: Solar and wind energy sources incorporate Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) through their control algorithms resulting in the add on 30-80 KW of solar power for rotor injection compared to the existing system in order to reduce the power rating of the converters and power consumption from the grid.
