Model predictive control of a brushless cascadedoubly-fed induction generator with torque regulation for stand-alone applications.

In this paper, a novel control method for Brushless Cascade Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (BCDFIG) control is proposed by integrating the Model Predictive Control (MPC) and the Direct Torque Control (DTC) methods. In previous studies, the DFIG's torque control has been performed, using different methods to improve power production. Here, direct torque control, assisted by model predictive control, is used to maintain output voltage during a change in wind speed and load.
