With the high level of wind power penetration, system executives have an increasing interest in investigating the wind power integration influence on power systems. The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is commonly employed in wind power generation systems. In this paper, we focus on the direct torque and the classic vector control applied to the rotor side converter (RSC) of a grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) using a detailed dynamic model under dq reference frame. The two strategies are compared considering many parameters as the rotor currents, the stator power, electromagnetic torque and rotor flux to ensure the proper operation and to enhance the performance of the DFIG. Both control strategies of our machine are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software package. Finally, the simulations results are displayed and well discussed..
