This paper is inspired by the question, "if the multi-phasetransmission system becomes commercially possible in future, then which type of variable speed induction generators will feed electric power to multi-phase transmission system?" In this paper, a novel six-phase DFIG through Asymmetrical Winding Structure is developed to extract electric power from the wind energy generation system (WEGS). Due to the spread of pandemic disease (Covid-19), the attention of power engineers is increasing toward the reliability (in terms of fault tolerance capability) of AC generators. The principle contribution of this manuscript is the modeling (mathematical and simulation-based modeling) of novel asymmetrical six phase doubly fed induction generator (ASPDFIG). Furthermore, this paper presents the complete modeling of WEGS which contains the modeling of supporting components (6-phsase transformer, appropriate rotor side converter, grid side converter, dc link etc.), aerodynamic system. In addition to modeling, the analysis, and the controlling strategy for ASPDFIG, wind turbine also discussed. The elegant advantages such as fault tolerance, high efficiency, reduced torque pulsation and reduced per leg converter rating of ASPDFIG are also discussed. The simulation results, particularly the stator voltage, phase current, active and reactive power, are given to validate the theoretic investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
