This paper presents analytical and simulation results for a wound rotor synchronous machine in variable speed, variable output applications. To enable efficient control, an optimized LQR strategy is employed. For secure power supply to the loads, the machine only operates in the generating mode. The concept presented provides great flexibility in operation of the synchronous machine and is suitable for small hydropower and wind generation applications. The method enhances efficiency in the control of synchronous generators.
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.
