Modelling and Simulation of Wind Farm Integrated with Grid Utilizing Doubly Fed Induction Generator

At present, Due to a scarcity of power, Pakistan is facing major load shedding and blackout issues. In order to address this issue, renewable energy resources (RESs) may be a suitable option. Pakistan is blessed with many RESs such as solar, wind and hydro. The present energy crisis may be solved suitably if the Pakistan generates electrical power from these RESs. Among these RESs, wind energy is preferable because it is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Power generated from wind farm can be integrated with grid through voltage source converter (VSC) in order to meet increased load demand. Wind farms commonly use different types of generators; doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind variable speed technology is presently the most often utilized in wind farms, due to its many benefits. This study based on modelling and simulation of 9 MW wind farm based on DFIG using MATLAB/Simulink software version 2020a. The designed wind farm will be integrated with Grid and its performance will be analyzed for various wind speed variation cases in order to show its effectiveness.
