Abstract
This work presents a detailed comparison among three implementations of the Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) machine model. The alpha-beta-gamma, synchronous (dqo), and natural frame dynamic machine models were deployed on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and compared in terms of execution time and resource utilization. These machine models were also validated against a physical DFIG machine during balanced and unbalanced grid conditions. A benchmark is presented with the objective of selecting the machine model, orientation and state-space representation that is best suited for real-time simulations. The selected machine model is used to develop a real-time emulator of a Type-3 wind system. This emulator enables the study of wind turbine system in realtime using a validated platform while allowing controller testing without relying on expensive third-party solutions.
