The electromagnetic stability issues of the grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) system are usually overlooked. This paper presents a reduced order small-signal model that can be used to analyze the stability of DFIGs dc-link voltage control system, especially under weak ac grid conditions. This model neglects DFIG flux and fast current control dynamics. However, the effects of operating points, grid strengths and control loops interactions on system dynamic performance are taken into account. An eigenvalue comparison shows the proposed model holds dominant oscillation mode featured by the detailed model and is suitable for stability analysis of dc-link voltage control system of DFIG. Influence coefficients reflecting control loops interactions are also presented. Application studies of the proposed model show it is suitable for illustrating the effect of grid strength on dynamic performance of the DFIGs dc-link voltage control system. Meanwhile, phase-locked loop (PLL) and rotor-side converter (RSC) active power control (APC)/reactive power controls (RPC) effect on system stability are also explored.
