Control of variable speed wind turbines equipped with synchronous or doubly fed induction generators supplying islanded power systems
Abstract:
A control method for variable speed wind turbines (VSWTs) supplying islanded parts of electricalnetworks is presented. Active power/frequency and reactive power/voltage droops are applied in order todetermine the active, reactive power production, thus downscaling to the VSWTs the conventional controlconcepts of the power plants. Two types of VSWTs comprising doubly fed induction gene ....etc

A variable-speed controller, for an existing 225 kW fixed-speed wind power generator, is presented in this paper. A sensorless direct torque control algorithm-based controller is proposed for the squirrel-cage induction generator. Generator torque reference is derived based on sensorless maximum power tracking mode algorithm, up to the base speed of the generator. A three-phase front-end converter is used here to deliver the generated power to the grid with unity-power-factor operation at all wind speeds. This algorithm is based on direct activ ....etc

The History and State of the Art of
Variable-Speed wind Turbine
Technology

ABSTRACT
Early wind turbines used for performing mechanical work (pumping, grinding and cutting) optimized aerodynamics by being allowed to run at variable speed. Some of the earliest DC electric wind turbines were allowed to run at variable speed. With the advent of gridconnected AC turbines, rotational speeds were limited in order to control the wind turbine AC frequency output to equal the grid frequency. With the advent of se ....etc

Doubly-Fed Induction Generator for Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion Systems- Modeling & Simulation
Abstract— The aim of this paper is to present the complete modeling and simulation of wind turbine driven doubly-fed induction generator which feeds ac power to the utility grid. For that, two pulse width modulated voltage source converters are connected back to back between the rotor terminals and utility grid via common dc link. The grid side converter controls the power flow between the DC bus and the AC side and allows t ....etc

Position Sensorless Control of Switched Reluctance Generator for Wind Energy Conversion

Abstract
This paper presents a novel sensorless control system of switched reluctance generator (SRG) in order to reduce cost, simplify system structure and increase reliability. Considering nonlinear characteristics of SRG and robustness of sliding mode observer (SMO), sensorless control method of SRG based on SMO is proposed and analyzed. For wind energy conversion system (WECS), a voltage-source PWM inverter is used to make power output of SR ....etc

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE OF A DOUBLY FED
WIND-POWER INDUCTION GENERATOR AT WIND-
RANGE BOUNDARIES
ABSTRACT
The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is one of the largest generators used
with MW-class wind turbines. This paper focuses on the weak performance areas
of grid-connected DFIG-based wind turbines. Basically, the DFIG performance at
low wind speeds, close to the cut in speed, and around the full rating operation (in
the vicinity of rated wind speed) is investigated. For low wind speed region, the
c ....etc
