As shown in Fig.1 2, idr varies with the wind speed while
iqr varies with the command of reactive power. The high
frequency component in the rotor currents is suppressed

8. Conclusion
This paper has proposed a gain scheduled control method
for a doubly fed induction generator driven by a wind
turbine. This method is based on equivalent LPV model-
ing of the nonl inear DF IG system and H∞ op timization. It
is confirmed by simulations that a quite high precision
tracking control of rotor speed as well as reactive power
is achieved by the proposed method.
As a future work, we plan to deal with the controller
design for DFIG systems operating in mode 2 in or der to
mai nt ain the rated power.
