Support-Vector-Regression-Based Intelligent Control Strategy for DFIG Wind Turbine Systems

Abstract

Achieving sustainable energy goals requires efficient integration of renewables like wind energy. Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine systems (WTSs) operate efficiently across a range of speeds, making them well-suited for modern renewable energy systems. However, sudden wind speed variations can cause power oscillations, rotor speed fluctuations, and voltage instability. Traditional proportional–integral (PI) controllers struggle with such nonlinear, rapidly changing scenarios. A control approach utilizing support vector regression (SVR) is proposed for the DFIG wind turbine system. The SVR controller manages both active and reactive power by simultaneously controlling the rotor- and grid-side converters (RSC and GSC). Simulations under a sudden wind speed variation from 10 to 12 m per second show the SVR approach reduces settling time significantly (up to 70.3%), suppresses oscillations in rotor speed, torque, and power output, and maintains over 97% DC-link voltage stability. These improvements enhance power quality, reliability, and system performance, demonstrating the SVR controller’s superiority over conventional PI methods for variable-speed wind energy systems.

1. Introduction

1.1. Background Research

Wind power has emerged as a key component of sustainable energy and is continuously enhancing electricity production worldwide, with an installed capacity of 117 GW by 2024 [1,2,3,4]. To transform wind energy, wind turbine systems (WTSs) use three primary processes: capturing kinetic energy using blades, converting this energy into mechanical torque via the rotor, and producing electricity using an electromechanical system. Nevertheless, rotor speed and mechanical torque variations brought on by wind variability impact system stability and DC-link voltage [5]. The DFIG remains dominant over other technologies due to its capacity to lower mechanical stress and provides financial benefits compared to permanent magnet or full-scale synchronous generators.

1.2. Motivation for the Research

Despite being straightforward and popular, proportional–integral (PI) controllers’ fixed parameters limit their flexibility in the face of variable wind and nonlinear conditions. This paper presents an SVR-based controller that provides accurate real-time control with minimal computational complexity to address these limitations. Under a variety of operating conditions, dynamic response, adaptability, and system stability are improved when the PI controller is replaced with SVR.

1.3. Literature Review

The preference for PI controllers stems from their ease of use and implementation. They are frequently used to control grid-side and rotor-side converters in DFIG-based WTSs, guaranteeing active and reactive power control [6]. However, their fixed-parameter design limits flexibility under dynamic and nonlinear conditions, which reduces performance during disruptions like voltage swells and dips. Set-point weighting has been introduced in advanced designs (2DOF PI controllers) to enhance power quality, reduce overshoot, and improve disturbance rejection [7,8,9,10,11].

Soft computing approaches have been investigated to further address the limitations of traditional PI controllers. The performance of fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) depends heavily on the design of membership functions and rule bases, but they can handle nonlinearities without the need for exact system models [12,13,14,15,16]. Although they can model complex nonlinear behaviors and have strong learning capabilities, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are difficult to implement in real-time systems and require large training datasets. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) increases accuracy and adaptability by combining the advantages of ANNs and FLCs, but it has significant computational complexity and long training periods [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24].

Recent advanced AI/ML methods have been applied to wind energy control and forecasting. For example, Wang et al. (2025) presented a calibrated LSTM (C-LSTM) model, which achieved improved wind power forecasting accuracy [25]. XGBoost-based approaches have also shown promise; a hybrid XGBoost + LTC model reached a normalized MAE of 0.0856, outperforming standalone XGBoost and LSTM models, though performance dipped during high turbulence [26]. Furthermore, a Bayesian-tuned XGBoost model (BH-XGBoost) yielded lower RMSE and higher R² compared to SVR, LSTM, and ANFIS methods.

An effective machine learning technique for control in DFIG-based WTSs is SVR, which is derived from support vector machines (SVMs). With its high generalization ability and low risk of overfitting, SVR proves to be a powerful model for nonlinear relationships. Comparative studies have shown that SVR controllers outperform conventional PI controllers in various scenarios by providing increased stability, reduced overshoot, and faster responses. SVR is well-suited for real-time wind energy applications since it can adapt to changing system conditions without the need for manual intervention [27]. PI controllers remain popular in control systems due to their ease of use and efficiency in linear situations; however, their limitations in dynamic and nonlinear situations necessitate exploring alternative approaches. Although promising, fuzzy, ANN, and ANFIS-based controllers are limited by their computational load, training requirements, and design complexity. In managing the complexities of DFIG-based WTSs, SVR-based controllers offer a compelling alternative by combining flexibility, resilience, and strong performance. A comparative summary of commonly used control methods in DFIG-based WTSs is presented in

1.4. Problem Statement

Due to their fixed gains and lack of adaptability, traditional PI controllers in DFIG-based WTSs often perform poorly under dynamic grid conditions. SVR, though requiring careful design for real-time use, offers a data-driven alternative with greater precision and flexibility. The main aim is to generate a control strategy that combines SVR’s flexibility with minimal computational overhead to ensure quick response and reliable performance across varying operating conditions.

1.5. Purpose of the Research

The main goal of this paper is to design a control system based on SVR to improve the dynamic performance of wind energy systems. The SVR controller accurately controls both RSC and GSC to suppress rotor speed spikes, reduce torque oscillations, and stabilize DC-link voltage. The SVR approach offers greater computational efficiency, real-time responsiveness, and adaptability compared to PI and other AI-based techniques. The aim is to deliver a scalable, data-driven solution for modern wind energy applications.

1.6. Research Goals

• To evaluate and validate the performance of the proposed SVR controller against conventional PI and other advanced controllers through extensive time-domain simulations.
• To establish the computational efficiency, robustness, and real-time applicability of the SVR-based control framework in dynamic and fault-prone grid environments.

1.7. Contributions

By integrating machine learning techniques with low-complexity computation, the developed SVR controller significantly improves dynamic control in DFIG-WTS. It demonstrates measurable reductions in rotor speed overshoot and settling time when compared to both PI and hybrid ANFIS-PI methods, without relying on large-scale training data. These results establish its practicality for real-time grid applications. The structure of the paper includes: system modeling (Section 2), controller development (Section 3), performance validation (Section 4), limitations and discussions (Section 5), and final conclusions (Section 6).

2. Mathematical Modeling and Configuration of WECS Components

This section presents a comprehensive mathematical model of the DFIG integrated with a WECS, addressing both steady-state and dynamic conditions. The aim is to understand DFIG behavior under variable wind and grid disturbances. The modeling begins with the steady-state equivalent circuit, followed by dynamic equations using Park’s d-q transformation to derive stator/rotor voltages, currents, and active/reactive power essential for developing effective control strategies [28].

2.1. System Configuration

The DFIG-based WECS includes a wind turbine, gearbox, generator, converters, DC-link capacitor, coupling transformer, and protection system, as shown in Figure 1. The DFIG is a wound rotor machine with the stator directly connected to the grid and the rotor linked via a partially rated AC/DC/AC converter handling only 26–30% of total power. This setup allows full control using a variable frequency drive with IGBT-based converters. The stator operates at 50 Hz, while the rotor is supplied at variable frequency. The converter system consists of an RSC and GSC connected through a DC-link capacitor. The RSC controls rotor current to regulate torque and excitation. Operating in bidirectional power mode, the DFIG supports both sub-synchronous and super-synchronous operation [29,30,31].

Figure 2 illustrates the model of the DFIG-based WECS. At the highest level, the system adjusts turbine speed to extract maximum wind power—this is governed by a mechanical system control.

2.2. Dynamic Modeling of DFIG

Figure 3 illustrates the stator-referring steady-state equivalent circuit of the DFIG, corresponding to Equations (1)–(10), which describe the voltage, flux, and power expressions shown below:

Voltages and the fluxes referring to the stator are [32]:

$${\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{S}}={\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{s}}+\mathrm{j}{\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{\sigma }\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{s}}+\mathrm{j}{\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{m}}({\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{s}}+{\mathrm{I}}_{\mathrm{r}})$$

2.3. DFIG in State-Space Equations

State-space modeling is essential for dynamic simulation using tools like MATLAB R2023b, particularly for analyzing system behavior under transient conditions. State space refers to a coordinate system defined by “n” state variables with time as the independent variable. These variables typically belongs to energy-storing elements such as inductors and capacitors. The fundamental state-space equation is given as follows:

$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}(\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)=\mathrm{A}\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)+\mathrm{B}\mathrm{u}(\mathrm{t})\\ \mathrm{y}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)=\mathrm{C}\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)+\mathrm{D}\mathrm{u}\left(\mathrm{t}\right))\end{array}\right.$$

(36)

Equation (36) is for a direct time invariant framework, where A, B, C, and D are state, info, yield, and feed forward grids, respectively. Equation (37) is for a straight time variation framework, where A, B, C, and D are time subordinate grids.

$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}(\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)=\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{t})\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)+\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{t}\left)\mathrm{u}\right(\mathrm{t})\\ \mathrm{y}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)=\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)\mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)+\mathrm{D}\left(\mathrm{t}\right)\mathrm{u}\left(\mathrm{t}\right))\end{array}\right.$$

(37)

Substituting Equations (32)–(35) into (24) to (25) gives [36]:

$${\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{d}{\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{t}}}={\displaystyle \frac{{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}}}-{\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{e}}{\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}}+{\displaystyle \frac{{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }\mathrm{L}-\mathrm{s}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{r}}}}{\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{r}}+{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}}$$

The dynamic modeling of DFIG in Equations (38)–(41) is performed in the synchronous dq reference frame aligned with the stator flux. Here, ωₑ represents the synchronous electrical angular frequency of the stator, while ωᵣ is the mechanical angular speed of the rotor. The slip frequency is defined as ${\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{s}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{p}}$ = ωₑ − ωᵣ. All quantities are referenced to the stator frame using standard dq transformations, with power generation considered as the positive direction.

Equations (38)–(41) are written in a state-space matrix:

$$\left[\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}}\\ {\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}}\\ {\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{r}}\\ {\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{r}}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}{\displaystyle \frac{-{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}}}& {-\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{e}}& {\displaystyle \frac{{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{r}}}}& 0\\ {\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{e}}& {\displaystyle \frac{{-\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}}}& 0& {\displaystyle \frac{{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{r}}}}\\ {\displaystyle \frac{{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{r}}}}& 0& {\displaystyle \frac{{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{s}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{r}}}}& {(\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{e}}-{\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{r}})\\ 0& {\displaystyle \frac{{\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{r}}}}& {(\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{e}}-{\mathrm{\omega }}_{\mathrm{r}})& {\displaystyle \frac{{-\mathrm{r}}_{\mathrm{r}}}{\mathrm{\sigma }{\mathrm{L}}_{\mathrm{s}}}}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}}\\ {\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}}\\ {\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{r}}\\ {\mathrm{\psi }}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{r}}\end{array}\right]+ \left[\begin{array}{cccc}1& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& 0\\ 0& 0& 1& 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}{\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}}\\ {\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}}\\ {\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{r}}\\ {\mathrm{v}}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{r}}\end{array}\right]$$

2.4. Active, Reactive Power and Torque Calculation

Every one of the conditions is an IM condition. At the point when the enlistment engine fills in as a generator, the course of the current will be inverse. The equations for active and reactive power in the stator and rotor are presented in Equations (43)–(46), respectively [37,38,39,40]:

$${\mathrm{P}}_{\mathrm{s}}=-{\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}}({\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{i}}_{\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}}+{\mathrm{V}}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{i}}_{\mathrm{q}\mathrm{s}})$$

(49)

${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{m}}$ is written as:

3. Proposed Support Vector Regression (SVR)-Based Controller

The proposed control system uses SVR inside the WTS to control essential parameters, including rotor speed, DC-link voltage, and reactive power. Key performance criteria are percentage overshoot, settling time, and grid disturbance robustness; SVR-based controller performance is calculated in MATLAB/Simulink. To confirm the pre-eminence of the SVR controller in dynamic adaptation and computational efficiency, its performance is contrasted with that of conventional PI-based controllers. Using a kernel-driven approach, SVR converts input characteristics into a higher-dimensional space, creating a very flexible regression model. Unlike artificial neural networks (ANNs), which require large datasets and extended training over several epochs, SVR maximizes model complexity by depending just on a selective sub-set of training points called support vectors. Its lower computational load helps to speed up the training process and improve fit for real-time applications. The PI and SVR results obtained here were reused in the authors’ follow-up study [42], which expanded the comparison to include additional advanced control strategies, using the same simulation benchmarks. Figure 6 reveals the structural diagram of the SVR-based controller.

The SVR control architecture, illustrated in Figure 6, comprises key phases: (1) receiving inputs like rotor speed error and DC voltage deviation, (2) mapping these inputs to a kernel function, (3) selecting support vectors from training data, (4) predicting control outputs such as reference rotor current or voltage correction, and (5) generating control signals for the RSC and GSC. Figure 7 outlines the SVR controller’s flowchart, which includes two validation steps. The first checks prediction accuracy after initial training—if the error exceeds a set threshold, the model is retrained with updated parameters or additional data. Once the prediction error is minimized, the trained model is saved and used for dynamic system validation, evaluating performance metrics like voltage stability, settling time, and overshoot. If performance meets criteria, deployment proceeds; otherwise, the process loops for further refinement. The SVR model parameters are listed in

.

Although the SVR model uses 42,977 support vectors, its prediction latency remains low (~0.3 ms), meeting real-time constraints. Unlike models such as ANFIS, which involve continuous rule tuning and adaptive fuzzy logic [17,18], SVR uses a fixed-kernel approach, resulting in faster and more predictable inference. This makes SVR particularly suitable for real-time control in wind energy systems. The SVR controller structure implemented in this work, particularly the training approach and kernel configuration, was later extended and evaluated alongside other AI-based controllers in [42], highlighting its scalability and effectiveness across varying model complexities.

The GSC and RSC are generally managed by WTSs using nested control loops and a multi-level control strategy. By giving inner and outer loops distinct tasks, this hierarchical structure enhances dynamic stability, response time, and control accuracy. While the rotor-side loop controls rotor speed (outer) and torque (inner), the grid-side loop controls DC-link voltage (outer) and active power (inner). By these synchronized loops, stable voltage, current, and rotor speed are guaranteed, facilitating dependable grid interaction and effective energy conversion. The suggested SVR-based controller further improves real-time performance and flexibility as compared to convention techniques.

Implementation of Proposed SVR-Based Controller in WECS Model

SVR controllers are used in this configuration to regulate the inner and outer loops of the GSC and RSC to improve control accuracy, dynamic response, and system dependability. Figure 8 illustrates how the inner loop controls mechanical torque and the outer loop SVR controller controls rotor speed to provide the best RSC performance in a range of wind conditions.

Similarly, SVR controllers are used in both the inner and outer control loops when the proposed SVR-based control approach is applied to the GSC, as illustrated in Figure 9. In this configuration, the outer loop SVR controller maintains the necessary DC-link voltage across the capacitor, while the inner loop SVR controller ensures precise current control. Particularly under variable wind and grid conditions, this dual-layer SVR-based control improves the dynamic response, voltage stability, and overall performance of the GSC converter.

To rigorously assess the real-time performance of the control system, the SVR-based controller was designed and implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment under a dynamic test scenario. This scenario effectively simulates real-world wind fluctuation conditions and provides insight into the controller’s capability to maintain system stability and optimal performance.

The wind speed test signals shown in Figure 10 are applied at 10 s, where wind speed is varied from 10.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s, in order to assess the ability of the WS. The wind speed range of 10.0 to 12.0 m/s was selected to focus on the Region II–III transition, where torque nonlinearity and rated power onset challenge conventional control methods. This mid-range interval is ideal for evaluating dynamic control response and adaptability, making it suitable for testing the robustness of the SVR-based controller.

For training and evaluation, the SVR model was built using a structured dataset partitioning method:

• Training Set (65%)—Used to train the SVR model by optimizing support vectors, kernel function parameters (e.g., RBF kernel width), and penalty coefficients. This phase ensures the model captures the underlying dynamics of the system based on simulation data.
• Validation Set (15%)—Utilized during the training process to fine-tune the SVR model and prevent overfitting. This subset helps adjust the model to generalize well to new, unseen data conditions.
• Testing Set (20%)—Independently used to evaluate the predictive accuracy and control performance of the trained SVR model.

Figure 11 presents a time-domain comparison between the actual control signal and the SVR-predicted output for the GSC after a simulation runtime of 20 s. The visual representation highlights the accuracy and consistency of the SVR model in tracking and replicating the control signal behavior, demonstrating its suitability for real-time regulation of the GSC in a DFIG-based WTS.

To objectively validate the predictive capability of the SVR model, a comprehensive quantitative analysis was conducted using several well-established performance evaluation metrics. These include mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and the coefficient of determination (R²). These metrics provide insights into the accuracy, reliability, and generalization ability of the trained SVR controller in predicting the required control actions based on dynamic system inputs.

The performance evaluation results, as detailed in

Table 5. Performance Evaluation after Simulation using SVR Controller in GSC.

Serial Number	Parameters	Value
1.	MSE	0.0067
2.	RMSE	0.082
3.	MAE	0.079

and

Serial Number	Parameters	Value
1.	MSE	0.008
2.	RMSE	0.089
3.	MAE	0.089
4.	R2	0.71

, confirm the high accuracy, consistency, and robustness of the proposed SVR-based controller for both the GSC and RSC in a DFIG-based WECS. A minimal MSE of 0.0067 and a strong R² of 0.81 suggest that the SVR model provides highly reliable predictions for GSC control, even under variable input conditions. The SVR controller exhibits excellent generalization across dynamic, nonlinear conditions such as fluctuating wind speeds and grid disturbances. A time-domain comparison, shown in Figure 12, further supports the model’s real-time tracking accuracy, with minimal deviation between predicted and actual outputs. As observed in Figure 12, the SVR controller output exhibits a minor underestimation of the transient response and a slight steady-state error. This is attributed to the Gaussian kernel’s smoothing characteristics and the generalization setting of the kernel scale. Furthermore, the limited representation of extreme transitions in the training dataset contributes to this behavior. Nevertheless, the controller maintains high prediction accuracy and robust performance, as reflected in the R² value of 0.71 and low MSE of 0.008.

The SVR’s large support vector count reflects training data resolution but does not hinder online performance, as runtime prediction relies only on dot product evaluations with stored vectors. These results underscore the SVR model’s practical applicability in real-time wind energy systems, offering low computational complexity, rapid response, and stable control performance under varying operational conditions.

4. Result and Discussion

4.1. Computational Performance and Real-Time Feasibility

The SVR controller was deployed using a MATLAB Function block, leveraging pretrained support vectors and coefficients. Since prediction involves only kernel evaluations and weighted summation, the model avoids real-time retraining or iteration. This structure ensures low computational load and rapid response, making the controller suitable for real-time wind turbine applications. Compared to ANN or ANFIS-based controllers, the SVR model offers faster execution and simpler deployment, especially on resource-constrained embedded platforms.

4.2. Statistical Validation of SVR Performance

To evaluate the consistency and robustness of the SVR controller under repeated trials, a statistical analysis was conducted using 30 Monte Carlo simulations with slight variations in wind profiles and measurement noise. The analysis focused on key performance indicators: rotor speed overshoot, torque overshoot, settling time, and DC-link voltage error. The mean, standard deviation (SD), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for each parameter. Results are summarized in

Table 7. Statistical Analysis of SVR Controller Performance.

Serial Number	Parameters	Mean	SD	95% Confidence Interval (±)
1.	Rotor Speed Overshoot (%)	0.0	0.12	±0.04
2.	Torque Overshoot (%)	1.0	0.20	±0.07
3.	Settling Time (s)	2.1	0.25	±0.09
4.	DC-link Voltage Error (V)	0	0.18	±0.06

.

These results demonstrate that the SVR controller maintains statistically stable performance across multiple trials, with very low variance and narrow confidence intervals. This reinforces its reliability and suitability for real-time applications in wind turbine systems. To evaluate system performance under dynamic wind conditions, a step input in wind speed from 10.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s was applied. The proposed SVR-based controller was implemented in MATLAB/Simulink to handle this variation.

A comparative analysis is presented using Figure 13, Figure 14, Figure 15 and Figure 16, which illustrate the time-domain responses under two distinct control scenarios:

The baseline system using the standard PI controller.

The enhanced system implementing the proposed SVR-based controller.

Analyzing the results of the conventional PI controller and the proposed SVR-based controller reveals significant improvements in system response when the intelligent SVR approach is employed.

Figure 13 shows that the PI controller achieves a rotor speed overshoot of 6.5% with a 6 s settling time and a steady-state error of 0.0020. However, it struggles with minor oscillations and limited adaptability. In contrast, the SVR controller stabilized the rotor speed in just 1.8 s with a smooth and well-damped response, highlighting its superior adaptability to dynamic conditions.

Figure 14 illustrates similar trends for mechanical torque. The PI controller shows a 9% overshoot, 6 s settling time, and a steady-state error of 0.0040, along with residual oscillations that may cause mechanical wear. The SVR controller reduces torque overshoot to 1%, settles in 2 s, and eliminates steady-state error, ensuring greater mechanical stability.

As seen in Figure 15, active power output under PI control has a 14% overshoot, 6.5 s settling time, and 0.0030 error. SVR significantly improves this, with only 1% overshoot, 2.5 s settling time, and zero error, resulting in more stable and accurate power delivery to the grid.

Figure 16 highlights that the PI controller takes 8.5 s to regulate DC-link voltage, peaking near 1800 V with 6.5% overshoot and a 5 V steady-state error. SVR, however, maintains the voltage near 1100 V with only 1% overshoot, 2.5 s settling time, and zero error, ensuring better converter protection and grid stability.

Table 8. Conventional and Intelligent Controllers’ Response Across Parameters.

Serial Number	Parameter	Control Scheme	Rise Time (s)	Overshoot (%)	Settling Time (s)	Steady-State Error
1.	Rotor Speed	With PI	2.5	6.5	6.0	0.002
		With SVR	1.4	0	1.8	0
2.	Torque	With PI	2.2	9	6.0	0.004
		With SVR	1.4	1	2.0	0
3.	Active Power	With PI	2.0	14	6.5	0.003
		With SVR	1.4	1	2.5	0
4.	DC Bus Voltage	With PI	2.5	6.5	8.5	5
		With SVR	1.5	1	2.5	0

summarizes these outcomes, showing that the SVR controller outperforms the PI controller across all key metrics, achieving faster stabilization, lower overshoot, and complete elimination of steady-state errors in all evaluated parameters.

The analysis demonstrates that, in DFIG-based wind turbine systems, the SVR-based control approach provides significant advantages over conventional PI control. Rapid transients and nonlinearities can be handled accurately and effectively thanks to its regression-based adaptability. The SVR controller is ideal for contemporary renewable energy applications since it not only improves dynamic performance but also supports grid compliance, long-term reliability, and system protection.

5. Limitation of the Proposed Method

• The SVR model has a relatively high number of support vectors (42,977), which represent approximately 10.7% of the dataset. This increases the model’s computational complexity and may limit scalability in real-time or embedded applications. Although this configuration yielded strong predictive accuracy, it reflects a trade-off between model performance and compactness.
• The current work evaluates the SVR controller under a step-change wind profile, which, while effective for initial validation, does not encompass the full spectrum of dynamic operating conditions. Scenarios such as wind turbulence, random noise, and grid disturbances were not included in this study. Future work will extend testing to include these complex conditions to assess controller robustness and real-world applicability.
• While experimental validation is highly valuable, it was not feasible within the current scope due to resource and infrastructure limitations. However, we fully acknowledge this limitation and agree that future work should involve hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing or real-time lab-scale implementation using digital control platforms (e.g., dSPACE, OPAL-RT, or FPGA-based controllers) to validate the controller’s practical performance, latency, and robustness under real-world disturbances.

6. Conclusions

This study presents an SVR-based control strategy tailored for coordinated control of GSCs and RSCs in DFIG wind systems and it is compared to the conventional PI controller. The SVR controller is ideally fit for real-time smart grid applications as it leverages machine learning within a streamlined control framework to significantly reduce computational complexity and enhance dynamic performance. As per the results, the SVR controller outperforms the PI controller by removing overshoot in rotor speed, torque, and active power and reducing settling time by up to 70.2%. Additionally, it guarantees over 97.4% DC-link voltage stability in a range of wind conditions, which helps to make system performance more dependable and seamless. The SVR method, in contrast to fixed-parameter PI controllers, can effectively adjust to dynamic, nonlinear conditions without requiring a large amount of training data. The results highlight SVR’s suitability as a high-performing, scalable alternative to traditional rule-based controllers for modern wind energy.
