What is it about?
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the performance of a cascaded doubly fed induction generator (CDFIG) that is integrated with a matrix converter (MC) while operating at various speeds and while connected to the grid. The operating efficiency and stability of the CDFIG system under a variety of load scenarios are the primary factors that are investigated in this study. The MC is able to promote seamless energy conversion by utilizing the control methodologies that have been proposed, which ultimately improves the overall performance of the system. For the purpose of achieving the desired level of power delivery to the grid, the control performance will be improved via the utilization of a matrix converter (MC). Additionally, the system's reliability and efficiency will be improved through the utilization of the benefits that the CDFIG has in comparison to the DFIG. Results of the simulation show that there are considerable gains in power quality and fault tolerance, which highlights the potential of this arrangement for applications involving renewable energy, particularly in systems that generate fluctuating wind power.
