Control of a wind energy conversion system equipped by a DFIG for active power generation and power quality improvement

The aim of this paper is to improve the reactive power compensation and active filtering capability of a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The proposed algorithm is applied to a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) with a stator directly connected to the grid and a rotor connected to the grid through a back-to-back AC-DC-AC PWM converter. The control strategy of the Rotor Side Converter (R...

Nuclear Power Generation

N power is defined as the controlled use of nuclear chain reactions to free energy for work, including momentum, heat, and the generation of electricity (Energy Information Administration, 2007). Nuclear power generation is currently limited to nuclear fission and radioactive decay; energy is generated when a sufficiently concentrated fissile material like uranium creates nuclear fission in a c...
