The rise of the power level of the converters requires more and more accurate methods to evaluate the current harmonics. Two structures of variable speed drives are investigated and a comparison of their usual models is proposed. A probabilistic approach is employed to determine the influence of...

The aim of this paper is to improve the reactive power compensation and active filtering capability of a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The proposed algorithm is applied to a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) with a stator directly connected to the grid and a rotor connected to the...

This paper presents a novel approach for simultaneous power generation and harmonic current mitigation using variable speed WECS with DFIG. A new control strategy is proposed to upgrade the DFIG control to achieve simultaneously a green active and reactive power source with active filtering...
