In this paper, a combined vector and direct power control (CVDPC) is proposed for the rotor side converter (RSC) of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs). The control system is based on a direct current control by selecting appropriate voltage vectors from a switching table. In fact, the proposed CVDPC enjoys the benefits of vector control (VC) and direct power control (DPC) in a compacted control system. Its benefits in comparison with VC include fast dynamic response, robustness against the machine parameters variation, lower computation, and simple implementation. On the other hand, it has benefits in comparison with DPC, including less harmonic distortion and lower power ripple. An extensive simulation study, using MATLAB/Simulink, is conducted on a 9-MW wind farm composed of six 1.5-MW DFIG-based wind turbines. The performance of the proposed CVDPC method is compared with both VC and DPC under steady-state and transient conditions. Simulation results confirm the superiority of the CVDPC over either VC or DPC.
