Doubly-Fed induction Generator for Wind Turbine Applications

The simulated system is composed of three blocks:

Plant: Grid, DFIG, transformers, active rectifier and inverter, DC bus

Controller: (i) DC bus voltage control and (ii) DFIG rotor control

Console: Signal acquisition from plant and to controller

The plant runs at 25us, while the controller runs at 250us (4 kHz). Figure 1 shows the system.

Three simulation scenarios are given for this demo:

1. All-In-One: in this scenario the plant and the controller are simulated on the same real-time
simulator, also known as target, which is an OP4510.
2. Loopback: in this scenario analog and digital signals are looped back on the same target.
3. HIL-OP8665: in this scenario the DC-link controller is migrated on OP8665, which is a Texas
instrument DSP-based target, while the plant is on OP4510. Hence, this demo requires one
OP4510 and one OP8665.

Seven files are provided:

1. ParametersInitialization.m : m file for all parameters initialization

2. DFIG_AllInOne.mdl : simulink model for the system in scenario All In One
3. DFIG_Loopback.mdl : simulink model for the system in scenario Loopback
4. DFIG_HILOP8665.mdl : simulink model for the system in scenario HIL
5. DFIG_Controller.mdl : Simulink model for the controller built in Matlab 2015b with all necessary
setup for DSP
6. Bitstream binary file : TE0741_3-EX-0001-2_3_1_132-SERIES400-400-04.bin
7. Bitstream configuration file : TE0741_3-EX-0001-2_3_1_132-SERIES400-400-04.conf

Features:

Anti-aliasing filters were implemented on all signals going from the plant to the controllers. The
controller frequency being 4 kHz, the chosen anti-aliasing frequency is consequently 2 kHz, refer
to Nyquist theorem.

Loopback and HIL models requires Hardware synchronization and usage of FPGA, bitstream files
are provided accordingly

XHP option is a must for all scenarios

RTE scope is added in the console of the HIL model to check the correctness of the digital inputs
coming to OP4510 from the controller implemented in OP8665, see Fig. 2.

Color code, namely, red for outputs and blue for inputs, was adopted to facilitate understanding
loopback and hil concepts.

OpWriteFile was added to record the first ten seconds after the controller is activated.

It is interesting to put the three CPU models corresponding to the three scenarios in the same
RT-LAB project and to move from one to the other to check performances, see Fig. 3.
