In this paper, an improved speed sensorless control method including the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for grid-connected squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG) wind turbine systems using modified reduced-order generalized integrator (ROGI)–frequency-locked loop (FLL) with the DC offset compensation capability is proposed. The rotor flux linkages are estimated by the modified ROGI-FLL-based observer, of which the inputs are d-q axis rotor EMFs, and hence the position of rotor flux linkage can be obtained directly based on these estimated flux linkages using the arc tangent function. The DC offset in the estimated rotor flux linkages, which can cause oscillations in estimated rotor speed, leading to oscillations in SCIG stator active power due to power signal feedback (PSF)-MPPT algorithm, can be significantly reduced using the DC offset compensators included in modified ROGI-FLL structure. Moreover, the negative effects of high-frequency components on the performance of the rotor flux linkage estimation can be remarkably mitigated owing to the excellent high-frequency component rejection capability of ROGI. The dynamic response analysis of the modified ROGI-FLL with DC offset compensators is provided as well. The feasibility of the proposed method has been demonstrated in comparison with dual SOGI-FLL with DC offset compensator-based existing method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
