Abstract
The accuracy of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) models and parameters plays an important role in power system operation. This paper proposes a parameter identification method based on the hybrid genetic algorithm for the control system of DFIG converters. In the improved genetic algorithm, the generation gap value and immune strategy are adopted, and a strategy of “individual identification, elite retention, and overall identification” is proposed. The DFIG operation data information used for parameter identification considers the loss of rotor current, stator current, grid-side voltage, stator voltage, and rotor voltage. The operating data of a wind farm in Zhangjiakou, North China, were used as a test case to verify the effectiveness of the proposed parameter identification method for the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), constant speed, and constant power operation conditions of the wind turbine.
