Abstract

In this paper, a method that uses a chemical reaction optimization algorithm is presented to determine optimal PI controller parameters for the indirect control of the active and reactive power of a doubly fed induction generator to ensure maximum power point tracking for a wind energy conversion system. The proposed control algorithm is applied to a doubly fed induction generator whose stators are directly connected to the grid; the rotor is connected to a pulse-width modulation converter. To extract the maximum power, the rotor-side converter is controlled by using a flux-oriented strategy for the stator. The simulation results show that a proportional integral controller designed with chemical reaction optimization yields better results than the traditional method in terms of the performance index.
