description The present paper is concerned with introducing an effective direct power control (DPC) approach for a sensor-less doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The derivation of the proposed DPC approach is performed in a systematic manner in which the design of the rotor current controllers is well analyzed, which clarifies the real base of the control system as when and why it works properly. The operation of the proposed DPC approach is based on the stator voltage-oriented control principle in which the stator voltage is aligned with the quadrature axis of the rotating reference frame. To obtain maximum generation efficiency, the reactive power reference value is derived based on a loss minimization criterion (LMC) that is described and analyzed in detail. To enhance the robustness of the control system, an effective rotor position estimator is proposed that is robust against the system uncertainties, such as the parameters’ variation. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed sensor-less DPC approach, the DFIG dynamic performance is tested for a wide range of operating speeds. The obtained results confirm and emphasize the feasibility of the proposed control approach and its LMC methodology in improving the generation efficiency and in obtaining high dynamic performance from the DFIG.
