dc.description.abstractDoubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) are common for use in wind power generation. This can be attributed to factors such as the variable speed operation of the rotor, which can be adjusted through control systems with varying wind speed, ensuring more efficient power conversion.The stator windings in a DFIG are directly connected to the grid while the rotor windings are connected to the grid via back to back converters. This allows for independent active and reactive power control through the rotor side convertor and lower rating of converter which leads to lower cost of the system. The system below is a schematic of experimental set-up of the doubly fed induction generator connected to the grid.en_ZA
