1. INTRODUCTION
In numerous regions around the world, variable renewable energy generated by sources such as wind
and solar is expected to play a pivotal role in future zero-emissions electricity systems [1]. Lately, renewable
energy sources have garnered increased attention as potential alternatives for meeting domestic energy
demands [2], [3]. Due to its natural purity and abundant availability, wind power stands out as one of the most
remarkable forms of renewable energy [4]. Currently, the most commonly employed wind turbine technology
is the double-fed induction generator (DFIG) [5]. The fastest-growing renewable energy source is wind power,
which has become economically viable and technologically advanced [6]. Large-scale wind production systems
rely on double fed induction machines (DFIM) for their flexibility in reactive and active power management,
as well as torque control. These machines are a vital component of variable-speed wind turbines [7]. This is a
popular and dynamic research area, with a significant focus on controlling nonlinear systems [8]. Consequently,
modern control systems are better equipped to address these challenges, offering robustness and reduced
sensitivity, such as the artificial intelligence controller.
Modern megawatt-sized wind turbines consistently operate at variable speeds, a feat achieved through
the use of converters [4]. These converters have a substantial impact on the cost of wind turbines and are often
associated with individual generators [4]. The growing capacity and installation of wind farms necessitate the

study and development of control mechanisms for the reactive and active power capabilities of wind farms.
Wind power plants are now required to actively participate in the power supply system [9]. The primary
objectives of these control capabilities are to automate wind turbine operation, impose safety limits, and
maximize power generation [9]. Maximizing wind energy collection through power optimization helps reduce
operating costs, minimize turbine loads for safe operation, and ensures consistent dynamic responses and
enhanced product quality. Wind turbines, whether operating at constant or variable speeds, aim to capture as
much wind energy as possible [9].
In this paper, we employ an artificial intelligence controller to optimize the reactive and active powers
of the DFIG wind turbine. We replace the traditional pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique with a neural
network-based space vector modulation with two levels (NSVM-2L) to reduce torque and flux ripples.
Additionally, we utilize fuzzy logic controllers and PID controllers to control the reactive and active power on
the stator-side. This approach significantly enhances power quality and offers outstanding performance even
when DFIG parameter values change.

2. METHOD
The study is limited to proposing two strategies aimed at optimizing the active and reactive power of
a wind turbine equipped with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). These strategies involve the use of a
fuzzy logic controller and a PID controller. Key components of the methodology include the adoption of a
neural network-based space vector modulation with two levels (NSVM-2L) in place of the traditional pulse-
width modulation (PWM). This substitution serves to mitigate torque and flux variations within the DFIG.
Additionally, the methodology employs both fuzzy logic and PID controllers to manage the regulation of
reactive and active power on the stator side of the DFIG.
The performance of these control strategies is assessed through simulations conducted in
MATLAB/Simulink. The results of these simulations reveal that the fuzzy logic controller yields a faster
dynamic response and lower harmonic distortion when compared to the PID controller. To test the robustness
of these control strategies, variations in DFIG parameters are introduced to assess how the controllers perform
under changing operational conditions. In this regard, the fuzzy logic controller exhibits superior robustness,
making it a favorable choice in scenarios with dynamic and variable operating conditions.

2.3. Space vector modulation (SVM)


The fundamental idea behind the SVM method is to create Vref as precisely as feasible using the
stationary vectors that are accessible to the inverter. Reference voltage Vr is generated by the inverter. The
nearest three vectors (NTVs) for Vref are formed by the vertices of this triangle, and Vref is then synthesized
using these three vectors, and repeating this process at each sample time (Ts). The SVM can best be explained
based on a two-phase representation of Figure 1 [18], [19].

2.4. Level inverter


Multilayer inverters address standard VSI drawbacks with advantages like reduced harmonics, lower
stress on power devices, decreased ratings, and a lower switching frequency [3], [20]-[22]. Using a two-level
SVM method that calculates the maximum and minimum three-phase voltages (Va, Vb, Vc) detailed in
Figure 2. Also, Figure 3 displays the NSVM technique for a 2-level inverter.

2.5. Fuzzy logic control scheme


Fuzzy logic controllers consist of three primary components: fuzzification, defuzzification, and
inference rules. In the fuzzification phase, numerical values are transformed into fuzzy values or linguistic
variables, which serve as inputs [23]. The defuzzification stage then converts these fuzzy values back into
numeric outputs [23], [24]. Inference rules utilize linguistic control rules and a rule base to represent the desired
control strategy and objective. In the case of this fuzzy logic controller, it uses error deviations and input errors
from their references over each time interval as inputs, employing a Mamdani-type fuzzy logic control system
[23], [25]. The controller interfaces with a neural network support vector machine (NSVM) system, with the
fuzzy logic controller providing inputs to the NSVM. The diagrams of Figure 4 and Figure 5 illustrate how the
FLC-NSVM and PID-NSVM systems are interconnected.

2 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


In practice, it's necessary to conduct a simulation of the wind power conversion process to
validate our theoretical research. The stator winding of the DFIG is directly connected to a 3-phase network
(398/690 V/50 Hz), and the rotor winding is driven by a 3-phase converter controlled through neural network-
based space vector modulation (NSVM). The parameters of the DFIG wind turbine are presented in Table 1.
Generally speaking, generators follow power control guidelines for active and reactive power. Fuzzy
logic controllers react faster than PID controllers. It minimizes the overshoot of the active power, but the PID
controller outperforms it in terms of reactive power (see Figure 6). Different control methods show differences
in static error and response time. The stator power tracking is satisfactory for both control types and the
response to disturbances is acceptable. Figure 7 shows the electromagnetic torque of the PID and fuzzy logic
controller, and Figure 8 shows the three-phase stator current. Compared with PID control (see Figure 8(a)),
fuzzy logic control (see Figure 8(b)) effectively reduces stator current and electromagnetic torque fluctuations.
The frequency spectrum of source current harmonics' Total harmonic distortion (THD) levels is presented.
Figure 9 display the frequency spectra for THD analysis in DFIG, with field-oriented control (FLC) and
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control methods, respectively. Table 2 provides a comparison of THD
values in source current harmonics between DFIG systems controlled by FLC and PID. The results indicate
that the THD rate is lower in the case of FLC compared to PID.

Figure 9. THD of stator current (FlC) and (PID) controller

In the context of durability testing, a robustness test was conducted by doubling the resistance
values Rr and Rs, while halving the inductances Ls, Lr, and Lm. The results of this simulation are depicted in
Figures 10, 11, and 12. These figures illustrate the impact of these modifications on the reactive power curve,
active power curve, and electromagnetic torque curve, with PID control showing a more significant influence
compared to fuzzy control (Figures 10 and 11). The results also reveal a substantial reduction in the total
harmonic distortion (THD) value of the stator current when using fuzzy control (Figure 12). A comparative
analysis of THD values is presented in Table 3, where it is evident that the THD rate achieved with fuzzy logic
control (FLC) is lower than that with PID control (PIDC). Consequently, it can be concluded that the proposed
fuzzy control method demonstrates superior robustness when compared to PID control.

4. CONCLUSION
This paper discusses ways to enhance the efficiency of wind turbines equipped with a doubly fed
induction generator (DFIG). The system is based on a DFIM with a 2-level space vector modulation using a
neural network (NSVM-2L) inverter. Under identical operating conditions, DFIG’s reactive and active control
with fuzzy logic controller exhibits smaller overshoots, resulting in a faster response. This means that the fuzzy
control technique contributes to improving power quality and optimizing reactive and active power better than
PID control.
