Abstract: The large-scale installation of wind turbines equipped with a doubly powered induction generator (DFIG) has been promoting the carrying out of several studies related to potential solutions for their integration into the electrical grid. In this paper, a control technique is presented that allows to regulate the active and reactive powers of DFIG in a stable and independent way. Its feasibility is supported by simulation results of models developed using MATLAB/Simulink software. To optimise the gains of the proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller, a metaheuristic optimisation methodology called whale optimisation is used, where the operation of the system will be considered in the design stage to increase the robustness of the control. The behaviour of the control loops is evaluated after the occurrence of three-phase short circuits in the distribution network.
