Abstract: This paper depicts improved dynamic modeling of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind farms with a grid-connected system under issues of power quality like voltage sag, swell & harmonics. They have a severe impact due to nonlinear & unbalanced loads fed by DFIG integrated into a grid. Due to this, the synchronous reference frame (SRF) control strategy is proposed for ride through of voltage sag, swell & improve power factor and filters are used to reduce harmonics in DFIG system connected to the grid. The pitch control strategy used to pitch angle control of the turbine blade & maintain rotor speed constant. These control schemes effectively work at varying wind speed in DFIG wind farms and support control active & reactive power. The system is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink using a 2.5MW DFIG wind turbine connected to the grid. The proposed control strategy enhances the performance of the entire system. The results are discussed in detail with and without control strategy.
