چکیده
The aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of pole pair number on the efficiency of an induction generator designed for a mini hydro power plant. Six induction generators with different number of poles were designed: 2, 3, 6, 10 and 14. The basic point of this study is Kaplan turbine, which considering its rotational speed can be directly connected to a 14-pole induction generator. All other induction generators need a speed reducer for appropriate operation with Kaplan turbine, but speed reduction decreases the efficiency of mechanical energy conversion into electrical energy. Consequently this paper presents the efficiencies of induction generators and the summary efficiencies of an induction generator and a speed reducer. At the design phase of the aforementioned induction generators the realization possibility of the prototypes was taken into account, including the mass of active components and used materials. Streszczenie. W artykule przedstawiono analizę wpływu ilości par biegunów na sprawność generatora asynchronicznego w mini elektrowni wodnej. W badaniach wzięto pod uwagę 6 zaprojektowanych maszyn (2, 3, 6, 10 i 14 biegunów) połączonych z turbiną Kaplana. Do wszystkich, oprócz 14biegunowej wykorzystano reduktor, który również został uwzględniony w analizie. (Wpływ ilości par biegunów na sprawność generatora asynchronicznego w mini elektrowni wodnej).

In this work, a robust nonlinear control technique of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) intended for wind energy systems has been proposed. The principal idea in this article is to decouple the active and reactive power of the DFIG with high robustness using the backstepping strategy. The principle of this control method is based on the Lyapunov function, in order to guarantee the global ...
