The problem of reactive power control for mains-side inverter (MSI) in doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is studied inthis paper To accommodate the modelling nonlinearities and inherent uncertainties a novel robust adaptive control algorithmfor MSI is proposed by utilizing Lyapunov theory that ensures asymptotic stability of the system under unpredictable externaldisturbances and significant parametric uncertainties The distinguishing benefit of the aforementioned scheme consists in itscapabilities to maintain satisfactory performance under varying operation conditions without the need for manually redesigningor reprogramming the control gains in contrast to the commonly used PIPID control Simulations are also built to confirm thecorrectness and benefits of the control scheme
1 Introduction
Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) enjoys more notice-able advantages compared with other kinds of wind genera-tors [1] For example by keeping the rotor current frequencyat a constant level DFIG can produce nearly constant powerfrom the stator and by keeping an optimal tip-speed ratioDFIG is able to capture themaximumwind power at differentwind speeds [2] A wind power generation system equippedwith DFIG requires a converter with only one-third ofthe power rating leading to a less expensive system withreduced power loss [3] DFIG can also control reactive powerseparately from active power with a reasonable adoptionof orientation frame [4] Especially DFIG can stabilizethe power network voltage by providing some controllablereactive power thus improving power factor or voltagecharacteristics [5]
Researches on the blackout in Canada and Americain 2003 indicated that if reactive power was provided intime the cascaded outages of several power system devicesmight have been avoided Reactive power is closely related
to voltage level and power factor (pf) and terminal voltageTo prevent power network instability problem some powercompanies have proposed several standards which must bestrictly met when the wind generators connect to the system[6] Therefore reactive power control in DFIG for windturbines has become a research topic of theoretical andpractical importance that has attracted considerable attentionduring the past decade leading to a number of technicalresults on reactive power control of DFIG in wind turbinesBrekken and Mohan [7] deal with the harmonic componenton the frame with a low bandwidth filter A PI and a statespace based controller for reactive power are studied byMachmoum et al [8] The limitation of generation capabilityon both converters of DFIG is analysed in Engelhardt et al[9] Slootweg et al [10] study the voltage control scheme byreactive power compensation on theRSI without consideringreactive power generation ability of grid-side inverter (MSI)In Tapia et al [11] a similar problem is investigated in whichMSI contribution to voltage control is ignored It shouldbe noted that MSI can be the main reactive compensatoras a STATCOM as shown in Kayikci and Milanovic [12]

An interesting effort has been made on using both the RSIand the MSI to design reactive power regulator in DFIG[13] There are several other coordinated RSI and MSI basedvoltage-control methods suggested in the literature (see egAkhmatov [14] and Ackermann [15] and the references citedtherein)
While reactive power control of DFIG has been exten-sively studied during the past few years there are some openissues which have practical and theoretical importance inthis area For instance from a reliable operation and real-time implementation point of view currently there is nouniform framework for the design of a cost-effective andreliable method for reactive power adjustment As a matterof fact in most existing works either the control develop-ment and closed-loop system stability conditions are basedon largely oversimplified linear dynamics or the resultantcontrol algorithms are prohibitively too complex for real-timeimplementation One reason leading to such barrier is thefact that differential equations of DFIG are nonlinear andcomplex in nature To facilitate control design most existingmethods have carried on the tradition of using linear modelwithout fully recognizing modelling uncertainty externaldisturbance or implementation cost As such these controlmethods which heavily depend on linear model and precisesystem parameters seldom satisfactorily work in practice Itis interesting to notice that different applications of adaptivecontrol method have been studied in various fields such as inpower systems [16 17] and in robot controlling [18] Adaptivecontrol method can help to solve the above problems
This paper proposes a computationally inexpensive con-trol algorithm for controlling reactive power in DFIG forwind turbines The main interest in the mentioned methodis primarily motivated by some practical implementationsituations where algorithm cost-effectiveness appears to bethe prior concern Meanwhile there exist the possibilitiesthat the system parameters and dynamics are not alwaysfully available for the sake of some constraints A dynamicmodel which reflects the electrical connection effects of theMSI of DIFG wind turbine system is established in thispaper Inspired by the recent work on using core informationfor control design [19] a simple yet effective robust adap-tive control scheme is developed The superior features ofthe resultant control scheme consist in the significance indealing with unpredictable lumped disturbances and simplestructure In fact only little information of the parame-tersdynamics is necessary for the construction of the controlalgorithm Meanwhile complicated and painful trail-and-error process for control gains determination is no longerneeded These friendly advantages are favourable in practicalimplementations
2 System Topology and Dynamic Equations
Drive topologies of DFIG have been intensively studied in theliterature [13] Drive topology of DFIG containing the currentand power flow is shown in Figure 1 Wind power capturedfrom the wind turbine transfers into electric power throughthe gear box and the induction generator The inductiongenerator is quite special since it has a dual converter whichis made of electric devices such as IGBTs The size of theconverter is determined according to the desired speed rangeWith a proper control for the RSI and MSI the separatecontrol of reactive power from active power is achieved TheDFIG employs some inductors between the rotor terminalsand the RSI as filters In order to suppress harmonics outputfilters are also used in the DFIG
21 Voltage Orientation Considering the deep couplingnature between reactive and active power a well-chosen ori-entation can help to control the two variables independentlyIn this paper the coordinate system rotates synchronouslyalong with mains voltage vector By adopting the phase-locked loop (PLL) scheme [20] the mains voltage vector iswell tracked by 119889-axis in the frameThus we obtain 119906
119873= 119906119873119889
and 119906119873119902
= 0 Based on such voltage orientation currentcomponents on the 119902- and 119889-axis are considered separatelyas reactive component and active componentThus the 119902-axiscurrent component is responsible for controlling the reactivepower production which will be used in later discussionThisimplication is illustrated in Figure 2 and 120596

and the slip frequency is determined by 120596119903= 119878120596119873 119906119904and

where 119870119894= 1119877 and 119879
119894= 119871119877 The transfer functions
are identical on both 119889 and 119902 axes The time delay of signalpreconditioning and processing can be regarded as a smalltime constant 119879sum ≪ 119879

32 Output Current Control Output current control shouldtrack the input current without heavy overshoots A generalmethod to solve such problems is proposed in Follinger [21]To achieve a well damping factor 1radic2 we can set119870

119868119894= 119879119894 (12)
The closed-loop transfer function becomes
119866119888119894 (119904) =
119866119900119894

=1
21198792sum1199042 + 2119879sum119904 + 1
(13)
Since 119879sum ≪ 119879119894 the square value in the 1199042 term can be
ignored Thus the closed-loop function of the current innercontrol is simplified and obtained as

Before passing into the controller the data of the inputreactive power pass through a filter The filter is given by aone-order transfer function as described in Rabelo et al [13]Consider

33 Robust Adaptive Control for Mains-Side Reactive PowerIn this section a robust adaptive control for mains-side reac-tive power will be proposed To build a meaningful adaptivecontrol scheme two realistic assumptions are adopted
Assumption 1 Voltage amplitude at net connecting pointremains nonzero Thus with the voltage orientation and (6)119906119873119889
can be regarded as a positive known number so that119870119902119899
with respect to (18) is a negative known number
Remark 2 Assumption 1 imposed here rather standard inaddressing system stabilization is practical because the windpower generation system will be shut off if the voltage at thenet is extremely low thus the zero voltage does not occur forthe situation under consideration
To design the tracking controller we define the reactivepower tracking error as
119890 = 119902119899minus 119902lowast
119899 (21)
To simplify controller design we introduce 120576 and define 120576as
120576 = 120573119890 + 119890 (22)
where 120573 gt 0 is a designed constantApparently if 120576 converges to zero as time increases 119890 and
119890 also converge to zero which means if we can design acontroller that forces 120576 to converge to zero as time increasesthen problem will be solved
Taking derivative of (22) with respect to time we get
120576 = 120573 119890 + 119890 (23)
Substituting e with (21) and using 119902119899as given in (8) we
obtain
120576 =119870119902119899

We design the input as
119906 = minus (1198700+ ) 120576 (33a)
where1198700gt 0 is a design constant and is updated as
=119886120593

where 119886 is the estimation of 119886 and is updated as
119886 = |120576| 120593 (33c)
Theorem 4 For such system established by (8) under theassumptions if 119906 is calculated by (33a) (33b) and (33c)then the reactive power is ensured to track the desired oneasymptotically

where 119861min is constant and 0 lt 119861min le 119861 for forall119861 isin 119871infin
Differentiating 119881 leads to
= 120576 120576 minus (119886 minus 119886119861min)119886 (35)
From (25) and (33a) we get
120576 = minus1198611198700120576 minus 119861120576 + 119871 (36)
Equation (35) becomes
= 120576 (minus1198611198700120576 minus 119861120576 + 119871) minus (119886 minus 119886119861min)
119886 (37)
Substituting with (33b) and 119886 with (33c)
= 120576119871 minus 11986111987001205762minus 119861119886120593 |120576| minus 120593 |120576| (119886 minus 119886119861min)

(38)
Because we have
|119871 (sdot)| le 119886120593 0 lt 119861min le 119861 (39)
we can get
le minus119861min11987001205762lt 0 (40)
As 119861min gt 0 it is readily shown from (40) that both 120576 and119886 are bounded Furthermore we can show that 120576 is boundedand thus 120576 is uniformly continuousTherefore using BarbalatLemma [22] the reality is obtained that 120576 converges to zeroasymptotically By utilizing (22) ultimately 119890 and 119890 convergeto zero asymptotically then the result is established
Remark 5 It should be noted that when the states get closerto zero the control schememight experience chatteringThishowever can be avoided by using the simple but classicmeans of replacing 119911|119911| with 119911(|119911| + 120591) where 120591 is smallMeanwhile in order to prevent the estimate 119886 from drifting(33c) can be modified to
119886 = minus1205901119886 + 1205902

|120576| 120593 + 120591 1205901gt 0 120590
2gt 0 (41a)
In this case we have the following ultimately uniformlybounded (UUB) tracking control result
Theorem 6 Also for system established by (8) under theassumptions if the following robust adaptive control algorithmis adopted
119906 = minus (1198700+ ) 120576 (41b)
where1198700gt 0 is a design constant and is updated as
=119886120593
|120576| + 120591 (41c)
where 119886 is the estimation of a and is updated by (33a) then thesystem is ensured to be UUB stable
Proof This theorem can be proved by utilizing of the meth-ods in Cai et al [23]
Remark 7 Instead of using PI controller as in Rabelo et al[13] a simple robust adaptive control scheme is developedhere in which one only needs to specify the parameters in aclear direction that is119870
0gt 0 and 120573 gt 0
Remark 8 The significance of the developed control schemeis twofold
6 Abstract and Applied Analysis
(1) The control scheme developed here does not relyon the precise value for the time constants 119879
1 1198792
Also there is no need for analytical estimation ofthe unknown parameters 119886
1 1198862 1198863 Such fact can
sufficiently simplify the design procedure and imple-mentation of the proposed control algorithm
(2) As the parameter 119886 involved in the controller isupdated automatically via the algorithm and suchprocess is independent of operation conditions noredesign or reprogramming is needed during thesystem operation
4 Simulation Verification
Aiming at validating the correctness of the robust adaptivereactive control scheme simulations with MatlabSimulinkare presented here
Per unit (pu) value is introduced to simplify calculationand simulation The datum voltage 119881
119886V and datum capacity119878119886V respectively are set as 330V and 1MVar The net voltage119906119873119889
under voltage orientation is chosen as 220V and thus119870119902119899
with respect to (17) is calculated as minus1 Other parameters usedfor simulation are chosen as 119879sum = 05 119879
119865119902119899= 1 120573 = 1 and
1198700= 1 The PI control algorithm described in Ackermann
[15] for reactive power is rebuilt for comparison Three typesof working conditions are simulated here
41 Regulating under Steady Working Condition In realapplication DFIG can work as a compensator to provideconstant reactive power Based on this fact we set the desiredreactive power output as 1 puThe desired reactive power andactual one are together plotted in Figure 4
Compared with the adopted PI scheme adaptive methodeliminates overshoot and has a shorter regulate time anda longer rise time Both of the control schemes can obtainstabilization
42 Regulating under Modelling Uncertainty In this kind ofsimulation the influence of modelling uncertainty is investi-gated Assume that the time constant 119879sum has a deviation of5 then 119879sum = 0525 The result of the proposed adaptivemethod is illustrated in Figure 5 and the PI method is shownin Figure 6
The result shows that by utilizing the proposed schemethe tracking trajectory almost remains the same even undersuch modelling uncertainty and parameter deviation Fromthe point of detail the proposed adaptive scheme enjoys abetter tracking trajectory compared with the PI controllerunder such condition
43 Tracking under Dynamic Reactive Power CompensationIf the voltage begins to drop during an unsymmetrical gridfault the DFIG will work as a dynamic reactive compensatorto keep the voltage to a certain degree Once the fault ismoved the reactive power generating capacity of DFIG willbe resumed [24] Based on this fact we set the desired reactivepower output as illustrated in Figure 7 Specifically the DFIGis ordered to provide 1 pu before 7 s and provide an extra

The result of PI controller is also compared to the pro-posed adaptive method Figure 7 illustrates that comparedwith PI controller the proposedmethod can track the desiredreactive power better This is because PI controller fails totrack the reference value at the time of 7 s The result showsthat the adopted PI controller fails to deal with such problemwhich however the adaptive scheme proposed in this papercan deal with

An interesting effort has been made on using both the RSIand the MSI to design reactive power regulator in DFIG[13] There are several other coordinated RSI and MSI basedvoltage-control methods suggested in the literature (see egAkhmatov [14] and Ackermann [15] and the references citedtherein)
While reactive power control of DFIG has been exten-sively studied during the past few years there are some openissues which have practical and theoretical importance inthis area For instance from a reliable operation and real-time implementation point of view currently there is nouniform framework for the design of a cost-effective andreliable method for reactive power adjustment As a matterof fact in most existing works either the control develop-ment and closed-loop system stability conditions are basedon largely oversimplified linear dynamics or the resultantcontrol algorithms are prohibitively too complex for real-timeimplementation One reason leading to such barrier is thefact that differential equations of DFIG are nonlinear andcomplex in nature To facilitate control design most existingmethods have carried on the tradition of using linear modelwithout fully recognizing modelling uncertainty externaldisturbance or implementation cost As such these controlmethods which heavily depend on linear model and precisesystem parameters seldom satisfactorily work in practice Itis interesting to notice that different applications of adaptivecontrol method have been studied in various fields such as inpower systems [16 17] and in robot controlling [18] Adaptivecontrol method can help to solve the above problems
This paper proposes a computationally inexpensive con-trol algorithm for controlling reactive power in DFIG forwind turbines The main interest in the mentioned methodis primarily motivated by some practical implementationsituations where algorithm cost-effectiveness appears to bethe prior concern Meanwhile there exist the possibilitiesthat the system parameters and dynamics are not alwaysfully available for the sake of some constraints A dynamicmodel which reflects the electrical connection effects of theMSI of DIFG wind turbine system is established in thispaper Inspired by the recent work on using core informationfor control design [19] a simple yet effective robust adap-tive control scheme is developed The superior features ofthe resultant control scheme consist in the significance indealing with unpredictable lumped disturbances and simplestructure In fact only little information of the parame-tersdynamics is necessary for the construction of the controlalgorithm Meanwhile complicated and painful trail-and-error process for control gains determination is no longerneeded These friendly advantages are favourable in practicalimplementations
2 System Topology and Dynamic Equations
Drive topologies of DFIG have been intensively studied in theliterature [13] Drive topology of DFIG containing the currentand power flow is shown in Figure 1 Wind power capturedfrom the wind turbine transfers into electric power throughthe gear box and the induction generator The inductiongenerator is quite special since it has a dual converter whichis made of electric devices such as IGBTs The size of theconverter is determined according to the desired speed rangeWith a proper control for the RSI and MSI the separatecontrol of reactive power from active power is achieved TheDFIG employs some inductors between the rotor terminalsand the RSI as filters In order to suppress harmonics outputfilters are also used in the DFIG
21 Voltage Orientation Considering the deep couplingnature between reactive and active power a well-chosen ori-entation can help to control the two variables independentlyIn this paper the coordinate system rotates synchronouslyalong with mains voltage vector By adopting the phase-locked loop (PLL) scheme [20] the mains voltage vector iswell tracked by 119889-axis in the frameThus we obtain 119906
119873= 119906119873119889
and 119906119873119902
= 0 Based on such voltage orientation currentcomponents on the 119902- and 119889-axis are considered separatelyas reactive component and active componentThus the 119902-axiscurrent component is responsible for controlling the reactivepower production which will be used in later discussionThisimplication is illustrated in Figure 2 and 120596

and the slip frequency is determined by 120596119903= 119878120596119873 119906119904and

where 119870119894= 1119877 and 119879
119894= 119871119877 The transfer functions
are identical on both 119889 and 119902 axes The time delay of signalpreconditioning and processing can be regarded as a smalltime constant 119879sum ≪ 119879

accurate value is normally difficult to obtain The first-ordertransfer function of such time constant part is described as

By utilizing of a simple controller119866119877119894 the following open-

32 Output Current Control Output current control shouldtrack the input current without heavy overshoots A generalmethod to solve such problems is proposed in Follinger [21]To achieve a well damping factor 1radic2 we can set119870

119868119894= 119879119894 (12)
The closed-loop transfer function becomes

=1
21198792sum1199042 + 2119879sum119904 + 1
(13)
Since 119879sum ≪ 119879119894 the square value in the 1199042 term can be
ignored Thus the closed-loop function of the current innercontrol is simplified and obtained as

Before passing into the controller the data of the inputreactive power pass through a filter The filter is given by aone-order transfer function as described in Rabelo et al [13]Consider

where 119902119899is the ultimate actual reactive power through the
filter and 119879119865119902119899

Thus the control plant becomes the following second-ordertransfer function

119865119899119902 Using Laplace inverse trans-

Taking the external disturbances acting on the systeminto account (20) becomes (8) where ℎ(sdot) is the externaldisturbances
33 Robust Adaptive Control for Mains-Side Reactive PowerIn this section a robust adaptive control for mains-side reac-tive power will be proposed To build a meaningful adaptivecontrol scheme two realistic assumptions are adopted
Assumption 1 Voltage amplitude at net connecting pointremains nonzero Thus with the voltage orientation and (6)119906119873119889
can be regarded as a positive known number so that119870119902119899
with respect to (18) is a negative known number
Remark 2 Assumption 1 imposed here rather standard inaddressing system stabilization is practical because the windpower generation system will be shut off if the voltage at thenet is extremely low thus the zero voltage does not occur forthe situation under consideration
To design the tracking controller we define the reactivepower tracking error as
119890 = 119902119899minus 119902lowast
119899 (21)
To simplify controller design we introduce 120576 and define 120576as
120576 = 120573119890 + 119890 (22)
where 120573 gt 0 is a designed constantApparently if 120576 converges to zero as time increases 119890 and
119890 also converge to zero which means if we can design acontroller that forces 120576 to converge to zero as time increasesthen problem will be solved
Taking derivative of (22) with respect to time we get
120576 = 120573 119890 + 119890 (23)
Substituting e with (21) and using 119902119899as given in (8) we
obtain
120576 =119870119902119899

We design the input as
119906 = minus (1198700+ ) 120576 (33a)
where1198700gt 0 is a design constant and is updated as
=119886120593

where 119886 is the estimation of 119886 and is updated as
119886 = |120576| 120593 (33c)
Theorem 4 For such system established by (8) under theassumptions if 119906 is calculated by (33a) (33b) and (33c)then the reactive power is ensured to track the desired oneasymptotically

where 119861min is constant and 0 lt 119861min le 119861 for forall119861 isin 119871infin
Differentiating 119881 leads to
= 120576 120576 minus (119886 minus 119886119861min)119886 (35)
From (25) and (33a) we get
120576 = minus1198611198700120576 minus 119861120576 + 119871 (36)
Equation (35) becomes
= 120576 (minus1198611198700120576 minus 119861120576 + 119871) minus (119886 minus 119886119861min)
119886 (37)
Substituting with (33b) and 119886 with (33c)
= 120576119871 minus 11986111987001205762minus 119861119886120593 |120576| minus 120593 |120576| (119886 minus 119886119861min)

(38)
Because we have
|119871 (sdot)| le 119886120593 0 lt 119861min le 119861 (39)
we can get
le minus119861min11987001205762lt 0 (40)
As 119861min gt 0 it is readily shown from (40) that both 120576 and119886 are bounded Furthermore we can show that 120576 is boundedand thus 120576 is uniformly continuousTherefore using BarbalatLemma [22] the reality is obtained that 120576 converges to zeroasymptotically By utilizing (22) ultimately 119890 and 119890 convergeto zero asymptotically then the result is established
Remark 5 It should be noted that when the states get closerto zero the control schememight experience chatteringThishowever can be avoided by using the simple but classicmeans of replacing 119911|119911| with 119911(|119911| + 120591) where 120591 is smallMeanwhile in order to prevent the estimate 119886 from drifting(33c) can be modified to
119886 = minus1205901119886 + 1205902

|120576| 120593 + 120591 1205901gt 0 120590
2gt 0 (41a)
In this case we have the following ultimately uniformlybounded (UUB) tracking control result
Theorem 6 Also for system established by (8) under theassumptions if the following robust adaptive control algorithmis adopted
119906 = minus (1198700+ ) 120576 (41b)
where1198700gt 0 is a design constant and is updated as
=119886120593
|120576| + 120591 (41c)
where 119886 is the estimation of a and is updated by (33a) then thesystem is ensured to be UUB stable
Proof This theorem can be proved by utilizing of the meth-ods in Cai et al [23]
Remark 7 Instead of using PI controller as in Rabelo et al[13] a simple robust adaptive control scheme is developedhere in which one only needs to specify the parameters in aclear direction that is119870
0gt 0 and 120573 gt 0
Remark 8 The significance of the developed control schemeis twofold
6 Abstract and Applied Analysis
(1) The control scheme developed here does not relyon the precise value for the time constants 119879
1 1198792
Also there is no need for analytical estimation ofthe unknown parameters 119886
1 1198862 1198863 Such fact can
sufficiently simplify the design procedure and imple-mentation of the proposed control algorithm
(2) As the parameter 119886 involved in the controller isupdated automatically via the algorithm and suchprocess is independent of operation conditions noredesign or reprogramming is needed during thesystem operation
4 Simulation Verification
Aiming at validating the correctness of the robust adaptivereactive control scheme simulations with MatlabSimulinkare presented here
Per unit (pu) value is introduced to simplify calculationand simulation The datum voltage 119881
119886V and datum capacity119878119886V respectively are set as 330V and 1MVar The net voltage119906119873119889
under voltage orientation is chosen as 220V and thus119870119902119899
with respect to (17) is calculated as minus1 Other parameters usedfor simulation are chosen as 119879sum = 05 119879
119865119902119899= 1 120573 = 1 and
1198700= 1 The PI control algorithm described in Ackermann
[15] for reactive power is rebuilt for comparison Three typesof working conditions are simulated here
41 Regulating under Steady Working Condition In realapplication DFIG can work as a compensator to provideconstant reactive power Based on this fact we set the desiredreactive power output as 1 puThe desired reactive power andactual one are together plotted in Figure 4
Compared with the adopted PI scheme adaptive methodeliminates overshoot and has a shorter regulate time anda longer rise time Both of the control schemes can obtainstabilization
42 Regulating under Modelling Uncertainty In this kind ofsimulation the influence of modelling uncertainty is investi-gated Assume that the time constant 119879sum has a deviation of5 then 119879sum = 0525 The result of the proposed adaptivemethod is illustrated in Figure 5 and the PI method is shownin Figure 6
The result shows that by utilizing the proposed schemethe tracking trajectory almost remains the same even undersuch modelling uncertainty and parameter deviation Fromthe point of detail the proposed adaptive scheme enjoys abetter tracking trajectory compared with the PI controllerunder such condition
43 Tracking under Dynamic Reactive Power CompensationIf the voltage begins to drop during an unsymmetrical gridfault the DFIG will work as a dynamic reactive compensatorto keep the voltage to a certain degree Once the fault ismoved the reactive power generating capacity of DFIG willbe resumed [24] Based on this fact we set the desired reactivepower output as illustrated in Figure 7 Specifically the DFIGis ordered to provide 1 pu before 7 s and provide an extra

where 119870119894= 1119877 and 119879
119894= 119871119877 The transfer functions
are identical on both 119889 and 119902 axes The time delay of signalpreconditioning and processing can be regarded as a smalltime constant 119879sum ≪ 119879
119894 Note that 119879sum is small and its
accurate value is normally difficult to obtain The first-ordertransfer function of such time constant part is described as

119904119879sum + 1 (10)
By utilizing of a simple controller119866119877119894 the following open-

4 Abstract and Applied Analysis
32 Output Current Control Output current control shouldtrack the input current without heavy overshoots A generalmethod to solve such problems is proposed in Follinger [21]To achieve a well damping factor 1radic2 we can set119870
119875119894and119879119868119894
as follows
119870119875119894=
119871
2119879sum 119879
119868119894= 119879119894 (12)
The closed-loop transfer function becomes
119866119888119894 (119904) =
119866119900119894
1 + 119866119900119894
=1
21198792sum1199042 + 2119879sum119904 + 1
(13)
Since 119879sum ≪ 119879119894 the square value in the 1199042 term can be
ignored Thus the closed-loop function of the current innercontrol is simplified and obtained as
119866119888119894 (119904) cong

Before passing into the controller the data of the inputreactive power pass through a filter The filter is given by aone-order transfer function as described in Rabelo et al [13]Consider

where 119902119899is the ultimate actual reactive power through the
filter and 119879119865119902119899
is the filter time constantWe take the current inner control in (13) into account
Thus the control plant becomes the following second-ordertransfer function

where 1198791= 2119879sum 1198792 = 119879
119865119899119902 Using Laplace inverse trans-
form it follows that11990211989911987911198792+ 119902119899(1198791+ 1198792) + 119902119899= 119870119902119899119894lowast

Taking the external disturbances acting on the systeminto account (20) becomes (8) where ℎ(sdot) is the externaldisturbances
33 Robust Adaptive Control for Mains-Side Reactive PowerIn this section a robust adaptive control for mains-side reac-tive power will be proposed To build a meaningful adaptivecontrol scheme two realistic assumptions are adopted
Assumption 1 Voltage amplitude at net connecting pointremains nonzero Thus with the voltage orientation and (6)119906119873119889
can be regarded as a positive known number so that119870119902119899
with respect to (18) is a negative known number
Remark 2 Assumption 1 imposed here rather standard inaddressing system stabilization is practical because the windpower generation system will be shut off if the voltage at thenet is extremely low thus the zero voltage does not occur forthe situation under consideration
To design the tracking controller we define the reactivepower tracking error as
119890 = 119902119899minus 119902lowast
119899 (21)
To simplify controller design we introduce 120576 and define 120576as
120576 = 120573119890 + 119890 (22)
where 120573 gt 0 is a designed constantApparently if 120576 converges to zero as time increases 119890 and
119890 also converge to zero which means if we can design acontroller that forces 120576 to converge to zero as time increasesthen problem will be solved
Taking derivative of (22) with respect to time we get
120576 = 120573 119890 + 119890 (23)
Substituting e with (21) and using 119902119899as given in (8) we
obtain
120576 =119870119902119899
11987911198792

lowast
119899
(24)
Or equivalently
120576 = 119861119906 + 119871 (sdot) (25)
where 119906 = minus119894lowast119899119902

We design the input as
119906 = minus (1198700+ ) 120576 (33a)
where1198700gt 0 is a design constant and is updated as
=119886120593
|120576| (33b)
where 119886 is the estimation of 119886 and is updated as
119886 = |120576| 120593 (33c)
Theorem 4 For such system established by (8) under theassumptions if 119906 is calculated by (33a) (33b) and (33c)then the reactive power is ensured to track the desired oneasymptotically
Proof The result can be justified using the following Lya-punov function

where 119861min is constant and 0 lt 119861min le 119861 for forall119861 isin 119871infin
Differentiating 119881 leads to
= 120576 120576 minus (119886 minus 119886119861min)119886 (35)
From (25) and (33a) we get
120576 = minus1198611198700120576 minus 119861120576 + 119871 (36)
Equation (35) becomes
= 120576 (minus1198611198700120576 minus 119861120576 + 119871) minus (119886 minus 119886119861min)
119886 (37)
Substituting with (33b) and 119886 with (33c)
= 120576119871 minus 11986111987001205762minus 119861119886120593 |120576| minus 120593 |120576| (119886 minus 119886119861min)

(38)
Because we have
|119871 (sdot)| le 119886120593 0 lt 119861min le 119861 (39)
we can get
le minus119861min11987001205762lt 0 (40)
As 119861min gt 0 it is readily shown from (40) that both 120576 and119886 are bounded Furthermore we can show that 120576 is boundedand thus 120576 is uniformly continuousTherefore using BarbalatLemma [22] the reality is obtained that 120576 converges to zeroasymptotically By utilizing (22) ultimately 119890 and 119890 convergeto zero asymptotically then the result is established
Remark 5 It should be noted that when the states get closerto zero the control schememight experience chatteringThishowever can be avoided by using the simple but classicmeans of replacing 119911|119911| with 119911(|119911| + 120591) where 120591 is smallMeanwhile in order to prevent the estimate 119886 from drifting(33c) can be modified to
119886 = minus1205901119886 + 1205902

|120576| 120593 + 120591 1205901gt 0 120590
2gt 0 (41a)
In this case we have the following ultimately uniformlybounded (UUB) tracking control result
Theorem 6 Also for system established by (8) under theassumptions if the following robust adaptive control algorithmis adopted
119906 = minus (1198700+ ) 120576 (41b)
where1198700gt 0 is a design constant and is updated as
=119886120593
|120576| + 120591 (41c)
where 119886 is the estimation of a and is updated by (33a) then thesystem is ensured to be UUB stable
Proof This theorem can be proved by utilizing of the meth-ods in Cai et al [23]
Remark 7 Instead of using PI controller as in Rabelo et al[13] a simple robust adaptive control scheme is developedhere in which one only needs to specify the parameters in aclear direction that is119870
0gt 0 and 120573 gt 0
Remark 8 The significance of the developed control schemeis twofold
6 Abstract and Applied Analysis
(1) The control scheme developed here does not relyon the precise value for the time constants 119879
1 1198792
Also there is no need for analytical estimation ofthe unknown parameters 119886
1 1198862 1198863 Such fact can
sufficiently simplify the design procedure and imple-mentation of the proposed control algorithm
(2) As the parameter 119886 involved in the controller isupdated automatically via the algorithm and suchprocess is independent of operation conditions noredesign or reprogramming is needed during thesystem operation
4 Simulation Verification
Aiming at validating the correctness of the robust adaptivereactive control scheme simulations with MatlabSimulinkare presented here
Per unit (pu) value is introduced to simplify calculationand simulation The datum voltage 119881
119886V and datum capacity119878119886V respectively are set as 330V and 1MVar The net voltage119906119873119889
under voltage orientation is chosen as 220V and thus119870119902119899
with respect to (17) is calculated as minus1 Other parameters usedfor simulation are chosen as 119879sum = 05 119879
119865119902119899= 1 120573 = 1 and
1198700= 1 The PI control algorithm described in Ackermann
[15] for reactive power is rebuilt for comparison Three typesof working conditions are simulated here
41 Regulating under Steady Working Condition In realapplication DFIG can work as a compensator to provideconstant reactive power Based on this fact we set the desiredreactive power output as 1 puThe desired reactive power andactual one are together plotted in Figure 4
Compared with the adopted PI scheme adaptive methodeliminates overshoot and has a shorter regulate time anda longer rise time Both of the control schemes can obtainstabilization
42 Regulating under Modelling Uncertainty In this kind ofsimulation the influence of modelling uncertainty is investi-gated Assume that the time constant 119879sum has a deviation of5 then 119879sum = 0525 The result of the proposed adaptivemethod is illustrated in Figure 5 and the PI method is shownin Figure 6
The result shows that by utilizing the proposed schemethe tracking trajectory almost remains the same even undersuch modelling uncertainty and parameter deviation Fromthe point of detail the proposed adaptive scheme enjoys abetter tracking trajectory compared with the PI controllerunder such condition
43 Tracking under Dynamic Reactive Power CompensationIf the voltage begins to drop during an unsymmetrical gridfault the DFIG will work as a dynamic reactive compensatorto keep the voltage to a certain degree Once the fault ismoved the reactive power generating capacity of DFIG willbe resumed [24] Based on this fact we set the desired reactivepower output as illustrated in Figure 7 Specifically the DFIGis ordered to provide 1 pu before 7 s and provide an extra

The result of PI controller is also compared to the pro-posed adaptive method Figure 7 illustrates that comparedwith PI controller the proposedmethod can track the desiredreactive power better This is because PI controller fails totrack the reference value at the time of 7 s The result showsthat the adopted PI controller fails to deal with such problemwhich however the adaptive scheme proposed in this papercan deal with

32 Output Current Control Output current control shouldtrack the input current without heavy overshoots A generalmethod to solve such problems is proposed in Follinger [21]To achieve a well damping factor 1radic2 we can set119870

as follows
119870119875119894=

2119879sum 119879
119868119894= 119879119894 (12)
The closed-loop transfer function becomes
119866119888119894 (119904) =
119866119900119894

=1
21198792sum1199042 + 2119879sum119904 + 1
(13)
Since 119879sum ≪ 119879119894 the square value in the 1199042 term can be
ignored Thus the closed-loop function of the current innercontrol is simplified and obtained as

Before passing into the controller the data of the inputreactive power pass through a filter The filter is given by aone-order transfer function as described in Rabelo et al [13]Consider

where 119902119899is the ultimate actual reactive power through the
filter and 119879119865119902119899

119865119899119902 Using Laplace inverse trans-

Taking the external disturbances acting on the systeminto account (20) becomes (8) where ℎ(sdot) is the externaldisturbances
33 Robust Adaptive Control for Mains-Side Reactive PowerIn this section a robust adaptive control for mains-side reac-tive power will be proposed To build a meaningful adaptivecontrol scheme two realistic assumptions are adopted
Assumption 1 Voltage amplitude at net connecting pointremains nonzero Thus with the voltage orientation and (6)119906119873119889
can be regarded as a positive known number so that119870119902119899
with respect to (18) is a negative known number
Remark 2 Assumption 1 imposed here rather standard inaddressing system stabilization is practical because the windpower generation system will be shut off if the voltage at thenet is extremely low thus the zero voltage does not occur forthe situation under consideration
To design the tracking controller we define the reactivepower tracking error as
119890 = 119902119899minus 119902lowast
119899 (21)
To simplify controller design we introduce 120576 and define 120576as
120576 = 120573119890 + 119890 (22)
where 120573 gt 0 is a designed constantApparently if 120576 converges to zero as time increases 119890 and
119890 also converge to zero which means if we can design acontroller that forces 120576 to converge to zero as time increasesthen problem will be solved
Taking derivative of (22) with respect to time we get
120576 = 120573 119890 + 119890 (23)
Substituting e with (21) and using 119902119899as given in (8) we
obtain
120576 =119870119902119899

We design the input as

where 119886 is the estimation of 119886 and is updated as

Theorem 4 For such system established by (8) under theassumptions if 119906 is calculated by (33a) (33b) and (33c)then the reactive power is ensured to track the desired oneasymptotically

Differentiating 119881 leads to
= 120576 120576 minus (119886 minus 119886119861min)119886 (35)
From (25) and (33a) we get
120576 = minus1198611198700120576 minus 119861120576 + 119871 (36)
Equation (35) becomes

Substituting with (33b) and 119886 with (33c)

(38)
Because we have

we can get

As 119861min gt 0 it is readily shown from (40) that both 120576 and119886 are bounded Furthermore we can show that 120576 is boundedand thus 120576 is uniformly continuousTherefore using BarbalatLemma [22] the reality is obtained that 120576 converges to zeroasymptotically By utilizing (22) ultimately 119890 and 119890 convergeto zero asymptotically then the result is established

In this case we have the following ultimately uniformlybounded (UUB) tracking control result

4 Simulation Verification
Aiming at validating the correctness of the robust adaptivereactive control scheme simulations with MatlabSimulinkare presented here
Per unit (pu) value is introduced to simplify calculationand simulation The datum voltage 119881
119886V and datum capacity119878119886V respectively are set as 330V and 1MVar The net voltage119906119873119889
under voltage orientation is chosen as 220V and thus119870119902119899
with respect to (17) is calculated as minus1 Other parameters usedfor simulation are chosen as 119879sum = 05 119879
119865119902119899= 1 120573 = 1 and
1198700= 1 The PI control algorithm described in Ackermann
[15] for reactive power is rebuilt for comparison Three typesof working conditions are simulated here
41 Regulating under Steady Working Condition In realapplication DFIG can work as a compensator to provideconstant reactive power Based on this fact we set the desiredreactive power output as 1 puThe desired reactive power andactual one are together plotted in Figure 4
Compared with the adopted PI scheme adaptive methodeliminates overshoot and has a shorter regulate time anda longer rise time Both of the control schemes can obtainstabilization
42 Regulating under Modelling Uncertainty In this kind ofsimulation the influence of modelling uncertainty is investi-gated Assume that the time constant 119879sum has a deviation of5 then 119879sum = 0525 The result of the proposed adaptivemethod is illustrated in Figure 5 and the PI method is shownin Figure 6
The result shows that by utilizing the proposed schemethe tracking trajectory almost remains the same even undersuch modelling uncertainty and parameter deviation Fromthe point of detail the proposed adaptive scheme enjoys abetter tracking trajectory compared with the PI controllerunder such condition
43 Tracking under Dynamic Reactive Power CompensationIf the voltage begins to drop during an unsymmetrical gridfault the DFIG will work as a dynamic reactive compensatorto keep the voltage to a certain degree Once the fault ismoved the reactive power generating capacity of DFIG willbe resumed [24] Based on this fact we set the desired reactivepower output as illustrated in Figure 7 Specifically the DFIGis ordered to provide 1 pu before 7 s and provide an extra

The result of PI controller is also compared to the pro-posed adaptive method Figure 7 illustrates that comparedwith PI controller the proposedmethod can track the desiredreactive power better This is because PI controller fails totrack the reference value at the time of 7 s The result showsthat the adopted PI controller fails to deal with such problemwhich however the adaptive scheme proposed in this papercan deal with

Aiming at validating the correctness of the robust adaptivereactive control scheme simulations with MatlabSimulinkare presented here
Per unit (pu) value is introduced to simplify calculationand simulation The datum voltage 119881
119886V and datum capacity119878119886V respectively are set as 330V and 1MVar The net voltage119906119873119889
under voltage orientation is chosen as 220V and thus119870119902119899
with respect to (17) is calculated as minus1 Other parameters usedfor simulation are chosen as 119879sum = 05 119879
119865119902119899= 1 120573 = 1 and
1198700= 1 The PI control algorithm described in Ackermann
[15] for reactive power is rebuilt for comparison Three typesof working conditions are simulated here
41 Regulating under Steady Working Condition In realapplication DFIG can work as a compensator to provideconstant reactive power Based on this fact we set the desiredreactive power output as 1 puThe desired reactive power andactual one are together plotted in Figure 4
Compared with the adopted PI scheme adaptive methodeliminates overshoot and has a shorter regulate time anda longer rise time Both of the control schemes can obtainstabilization
42 Regulating under Modelling Uncertainty In this kind ofsimulation the influence of modelling uncertainty is investi-gated Assume that the time constant 119879sum has a deviation of5 then 119879sum = 0525 The result of the proposed adaptivemethod is illustrated in Figure 5 and the PI method is shownin Figure 6
The result shows that by utilizing the proposed schemethe tracking trajectory almost remains the same even undersuch modelling uncertainty and parameter deviation Fromthe point of detail the proposed adaptive scheme enjoys abetter tracking trajectory compared with the PI controllerunder such condition
43 Tracking under Dynamic Reactive Power CompensationIf the voltage begins to drop during an unsymmetrical gridfault the DFIG will work as a dynamic reactive compensatorto keep the voltage to a certain degree Once the fault ismoved the reactive power generating capacity of DFIG willbe resumed [24] Based on this fact we set the desired reactivepower output as illustrated in Figure 7 Specifically the DFIGis ordered to provide 1 pu before 7 s and provide an extra

The result of PI controller is also compared to the pro-posed adaptive method Figure 7 illustrates that comparedwith PI controller the proposedmethod can track the desiredreactive power better This is because PI controller fails totrack the reference value at the time of 7 s The result showsthat the adopted PI controller fails to deal with such problemwhich however the adaptive scheme proposed in this papercan deal with
