Abstract
This study discusses performance of the power control strategy for a Wind Turbine/Fuel Cell Hybrid System with a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-Direct Current (DC) link configuration. To overcome high cost and the complex structure of the previous paper, a new DFIG-DC link configuration is proposed that uses a single Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) and a diode rectifier to connect the stator and rotor to the DC-link, respectively. Also, the DFIG-DC system is modeled and a Stator Field-Oriented Control (SFOC) is adopted to control the VSI to extract the maximum power generated by the wind turbine. The model and the control of the DC-DC boost converter used to connect the hydrogen fuel cell to the DC-link are established. To achieve better performance of the proposed DFIG-DC system, the power control strategy has been tested by using the dSpace DS1104 processor board and the experimental results show the performance of the control strategy in terms of parameters regulation under a different scenario.
