Abstract: This paper describes a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) control for wind energy generation. The DFIG model is established and the adopted control strategies for machine side and grid side converters are described. Flicker phenomenon is defined and its emission of variable speed wind turbine with DFIG during continuous operation is studied. Calculation of flicker severity is evaluated using flickermeter. Appropriate vector power control of the machine side converter is proposed and applied to achieve flicker mitigation.
