Pertaining to the connectivity issues in wind power plants with grids, this study introduces an efficient mechanism based on a state feedback control structure to establish a fast and stable grid connection for a wind-driven doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). Owing to a direct link through stator windings, a DFIG is significantly vulnerable to grid disturbances and experiences sizable inrush currents when connected to the power grid. The proposed control structure is designed based on a linear matrix inequality stabilization criterion, which is framed using a suitable Lyapunov candidate function. The control objective is to ensure that the stator voltage can exponentially converge to the grid voltage, accounting for balanced and unbalanced grid conditions. This is achieved by generating appropriate rotor voltage references for rotor-side converter control. This study also explores the capability of the proposed control structure to enhance the system’s robustness to external disturbances and uncertain parametric variations. Simulations confirmed the effectiveness and suitability of the developed structure in mitigating the adverse effects of the rapid onset of the grid voltage at the stator terminals of the DFIG under various grid conditions; the proposed structure could thus establish a reliable connection with negligible effects on the DFIG and the grid.
