description The utilization of renewable energy sources aids in the economic development of a country. Among the various renewable energy sources, wind energy is more effective for electricity production. The doubly fed induction generator is an extensively known wind turbine generator for its partially rated power converters and dynamic performance. The doubly fed induction generator assists the wind turbine to function with a wide speed range. Hence, the steady-state performance analysis of a doubly fed induction generator helps enable it to operate efficiently at a specific wind turbine speed. In this paper, a 2 MW variable speed pitch regulated doubly fed induction generator with a speed range of 900—2000 rpm was opted for steady-state analysis. This was followed by the design and modelling of a doubly fed induction generator in Matlab/Simulink environment, and the analyses were performed using mathematical equations computed via Matlab coding. The steady-state magnitudes were calculated with rotor magnetization i<sub>dr</sub> = 0. The closed-loop stator flux-oriented vector control is applied to the rotor side converter for controlling the designed doubly fed induction generator model. The simulation results were compared with computational values to establish a workable model with less than 10% error. The simulation model can be used for predicting the performance of the machine, fault analysis, and validation of existing DFIG at a steady state.
