Abstract: The main goal of this paper is to increase the active/reactive power extracted from variable-speed dual-rotor wind power (DRWP) based on doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) by optimizing its operation using advanced direct vector control. First, the dynamic modeling of different parts of the system is introduced. The DFIG is modeled in the Park reference system. After that, the control techniques are introduced in detail. Direct vector command (DVC) with four-level fuzzy pulse width modulation (FPWM) is used to control the rotor current, thereby controlling the reactive power and active power of the generator. Then, use the neural network design to replace the traditional proportional-integral (PI) controller. Finally, the Matlab/Simulink software is used for simulation to prove the effectiveness of the command strategy using 1.5 MW DRWP. The results show good performance in terms of response time, stability, and precision in following the reference under variable wind speed conditions. In addition, the total harmonic distortion (THD) value of stator current is about 0.13%, being a bit less than other THD values reported in the literature.
