The fast improvement of wind energy conversion technology with optimization algorithms has recently received a lot of attention. However, their slow convergence speed, huge computational load, and low efficiency are the main drawbacks and to improve these disadvantages, a new adaptive fuzzy logic controller strategy is proposed to enhance the low voltage ride-through of the grid-connected doubly fed induction generator during severe grid faults. The rotor side converter and the grid side converter are controlled using an adaptive fuzzy logic controller topology under cascaded structure to improve the performance. The novel application of the ‘generalized variable step-size diffusion continuous mixed p-norm’ adaptive filtering algorithm is proposed to modify the calibrating factors of the fuzzy logic controllers at a rapid convergence speed with low normalized misalignment error. The proposed adaptive algorithm-based fuzzy logic controller has a better low voltage ride-through improvement capability than that of using the particle swarm optimization-based proportional-integral controller during severe grid disturbances. The convergence speed of the proposed adaptive filtering algorithm is compared to that of existing algorithms such as least mean fourth, least mean square, and continue mixed p-norm algorithms. In addition, a comparison is also made with different common optimization methods. The field-programmable gate array-based real-time experimental results are presented to validate the proposed adaptive control topology. •A novel application of GVSS-DCMPN based adaptive filtering algorithm is proposed.•The proposed algorithm modifies the calibrating factors on-line of the FLCs.•Proposed algorithm having faster convergence speed with low steady-state error.•The proposed adaptive filtering algorithm improves the LVRT of the DFIG.•The proposed algorithm is validated with another state-of-art algorithms.
