A new rooted tree optimization algorithm for indirect power control of wind turbine based on a doubly-fed induction generator.

A new control strategy based on the root tree optimization (RTO) is presented in order to reduce the chattering phenomena in active and reactive powers, and to minimize the harmonic currents which appear mostly at the level of the rotor side converter (RSC), in a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). The root tree optimization is used to adjust the parameters (Kp,Ki) of PI controller (RTO-PI). Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new proposed technique. Besides, the system associated with this metaheuristic algorithm can effectively give better dynamic and steady performance. The results with the RTO-PI controller show more performances than the results compared with the classical PI.
