This article proposes a power control scheme for doubly fed induction generator for variable speed wind power generation. This scheme uses a deadbeat control loop. The algorithm of the deadbeat calculates at each sample period the voltage vector to be supplied to the rotor in order to guarantee that the active and reactive power reach their desired reference values. The robustness of the controller against rotor resistance variation was evaluated. Simulations results are carried out for validation of the digital controller operation.385592602
