This paper proposes a new technique of using Axial Flux Induction Machines (AFIMs) for wind energy conversion systems. The Power Generation by wind is found to be enhanced by using a Twin Rotor Axial Flux Induction Machine (TRAFIM). By using Axial Flux Induction Machines, the gear box ratio can be reduced. The Single air gap and TRAFIM have been mathematically modeled in the environment of MATL...

Wind power production has been under the main focus for the past decade in power production and tremendous amount of research work is going on renewable energy, specifically on wind power extraction. Wind power provides an ecofriendly power generation and helps to meet the national energy demand when there is a diminishing trend in terms of non-renewable resources. This paper reviews the modeli...

Wind turbines form complex nonlinear mechanical systems exposed to uncontrolled wind profiles. This makes turbine controller design a challenging task (Athanasius & Zhu, 2009). As such, control of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is difficult due to the lack of systematic methods to identify requisite robust and sufficiently stable conditions, to guarantee performance. The problem becomes ...

One of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (WECS) is how to achieve maxim­u­m output power in different wind speeds. Maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst­e­ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. So, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. In this pape...

accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. in this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...

The operation of wind energy conversion systems mainly deals with variable and unpredictable wind regimes resulting in variable power efficiency. In addition, nowadays with the presence of high penetration level of wind farms integrated to power systems, stability and power quality problems might be addressed, when a disturbance event occurs. These challenges are worsened with significant degre...
