A Combined Vector and Direct Power Control for AC/DC/AC Converters in DFIG Based Wind Turbine

The doubly-fed generators (DFIG) have clear superiority for the applications of large capacity and limited-range speed control case due to the partially rated inverter, lower cost and high reliability. These characteristics enable the doubly-fed wound rotor induction machine to have vast applications in wind-driven generation.In this paper Combined Vector and direct power control (CVDPC) strate...

AC loss in large-scale superconducting cables

The ac losses in superconducting composites have been a subject of study for a long time, but nevertheless several problems remain to be solved, especially with respect to large-scale cables where the geometry of the cable plays an important role. Some of the aspects that will be considered here, are: presence of fields parallel with the conductor, coupling loss in composite conductors having v...

Development of Superconducting Wind Turbine Generators

In this paper the commercial activities in the field of superconducting machines, particularly superconducting wind turbine generators, are reviewed and presented. Superconducting generators have the potential to provide a compact and light weight drive train at high torques and slow rotational speeds, because high magnetic fields can be produced by coils with very little loss. Three different ...
