An electronic solution for the direct connection of a three-phase induction generator to a single-phase feeder

Abstract

RESUMOEste artigo propõe uma solução para a conexão direta de geradores de indução trifásicos em uma rede monofásica com regulação de vazão o que faz com que, a velocidade do gerador de indução se mantenha acima de sua velocidade sín-crona. Para que a conexão entre gerador e rede monofásica seja satisfatória e para que os critérios de qualidade de energia sejam preservados, o controle do fluxo de energia, entre a rede monofásica e o conversor PWM trifásico, é realizado empregando a idéia de sistema interligado ajustando a defasagem e amplitude da tensão sintetizada pelo conversor em relação a tensão da rede monofásica de forma que o fator de potência na rede monofásica seja unitário. Em relação ao conversor de potência, espera-se que o mesmo produza tensões senoidais, com freqüência e amplitude fixas para que o ABSTRACTThis paper proposes a solution for the direct connection of a three-phase induction generator to a single-phase feeder. This high power quality system is intended to be used in micro-hydro power plants applications with control of the water flow. It is employed to maintain the speed of the induction generator greater than its synchronous value. The difference between the generated power and the power consumed by the local load flows through the single-phase feeder. verter that additionally guarantees the local power quality. A system with good power quality must have sinusoidal and constant amplitude voltages, fixed frequency operation, balanced induction generator voltages and currents, harmonics and reactive power compensation. The paper describes the inverter control strategy, presents design criteria of the controllers, and shows experimental results.

Mitigation Of Harmonic Distortion By Power Electronic Interface Connecting Distributed Generation Sources To A Weak Grid

“…The VSC is controlled as an ideal AC voltage source with sinusoidal waveform, constant frequency and amplitude. The VSC is controlled to keep constant the DC link voltage, which guarantees the power balance among the local power sources, the local load and the grid [11][12][13][14]. In the proposed structure, batteries could be used to supply energy to the local load in the period of low or no power generation from the local source.…”
