Modeling and rotor current control of doubly-fed induction machine with complex signal flow graphs

Doubly fed induction machine can be used for wind energy generation. The control of rotor currents can facilitate variable speed constant frequency operation at unity power factor. A model based on complex signal flow graph is developed. This leads to a physically insightful control structure of the machine. A rotor current control strategy based on the complex signal flow graph is developed to facilitate fast current control. The paper gives the analysis, design and simulation for rotor current control in doubly fed induction machine.
