Effect of Different Turbine-generator Shaft Models on the Subsynchronous Resonance Phenomenon in the Double Cage Induction Generator Based Wind Farm

Nonlinear Mppt Control of Squirrel Cage Induction Generator-wind Turbine

This paper presents a nonlinear control method to track the maximum power point of wind turbine equipped with Squirrel Cage Induction Generator (SCIG). Since the mechanical power of wind turbine is function of its shaft speed at a given wind velocity, the proposed controller provides the desired voltage at the output of Voltage Source Converter (VSC) so as to control the generator speed and the...

Symmetrical Short Circuit Parameter Differences of Double Fed Induction Generator and Synchronous Generator Based Wind Turbine

Considering the importance of perturbations during short circuit (SC) in power conversion devices, this study designed to find out the efficacy of symmetrical short circuit (SSC) of the synchronous generator (SG) and doubly fed induction generators (DFIG). Both wind power systems were separately built (Park’s model) and simulated. Simulation results showed that the DFIG is more efficient, fault...

A Random Subsynchronous Resonance in a Turbine Generator Set

The electrical arc furnace (EAF) load is the largest load in power systems. Since electromechanical interactions between electrical loads and turbine-generator are seldom discussed, this paper investigates the torsional vibrations in turbine-generator shafts and blades subject to real and reactive power variations from a large-scale EAF plant. The transient power fluctuation of the load is rand...

Analysis of a Squirrel Cage Induction Generator based Wind Farm in ETAP

The recent past has witnessed a rising demand of electric energy. The near future will see depletion in the fossil fuels like the coal, diesel and the petrol reserves, so emphasis has to be given on the renewable energy sources. Wind Energy has proven to be a significant option for the present energy resources. There is need for more analysis in the Wind energy sector so that it can be more rel...

Effect of Wind Speed and Load Correlation on ELCC of Wind Turbine Generator

Utilization of wind turbines as economic and green production units, poses new challenges to the power system planners, mainly due to the stochastic nature of the wind, adding a new source of uncertainty to the power system. Different types of distribution and correlation between this random variable and the system load makes conventional method inappropriate for modeling such a correlation. In...
