Comprehensive Control Strategy for a Variable Speed Cage Machine Wind Generation Unit

Abstract

A comprehensive control strategy, that addresses all three control objectives in a wind generation system, i.e. control of the local bus voltage to avoid voltage rise, capture of the maximum power in the wind and minimization of the power loss in the induction generator is proposed. The control signals are the desired current wave shapes (instantaneous three-phase currents) of the rectifier and the inverter in a double-sided PWM converter system connected between the wind generating unit and the grid. Studies performed on a complete model for a variable speed cage machine wind generation unit, including wind profile, wind turbine, induction generator, PWM converter, local load and transmission line, show that even as the wind speed changes randomly, the proposed control strategy leads the system to the optimum operating conditions.

Small Signal Stability Analysis of DFIG Fed Wind Power System Using a Robust Fuzzy Logic Controller

“…The damping controller model consists of the washout block, gain block and cascaded phase compensation block. The rotor speed deviation Δω is the controller input and output is the damping control signal (ΔU E ) given to generator-excitation system feedback loop [17] [18].…”

Intelligent Approach to MPPT Control Strategy for Variable-SpeedWind Turbine Generation System

“…The input of a wind turbine is the wind and the output is the mechanical power turning the generator rotor (Li et al 2005;Karrari et al 2005;Wang & Chang 2004). For a variable speed wind turbine, the output mechanical power available from a wind turbine could be expressed as …”

Feasibility of a Simple Small Wind Turbine with Variable-Speed Regulation Made of Commercial Components

“…The induction generators have the disadvantage of requiring external reactive power, and depend on an external voltage source to produce a magnetic field [12]. The induction generator has two main constructive forms:…”

“…They are relatively inexpensive, robust, and have maintenance-free operation. The speed of the SCIG may be regulated by means of a rectifier and an inverter interposed between the cage induction generator stator and the grid [12,18]. The power converter has to be rated at total system power.…”
