This paper introduce the electrical quantities of a three-phase-connected wind induction generator (WIG) under sudden connection of static loads. An intelligent power-system recorder/monitor is employed to measure threephase voltages and currents of the studied system at WIG's terminals and load's terminals for 5 minutes. A laboratory 300 W wound-rotor induction machine driven by a blushless DC motor is utilized as the studied WIG. Since the generated harmonic currents are randomly varied, total harmonic distortion (THD) of current using cumulative probability density function is employed to determine the penetration of harmonic distortion. The results show that the harmonic currents generated by the studied WIG may be severely amplified to a high level by the connected self-excited capacitance at the stator's terminals.

This paper describes the performance analysis and design of single-phase self-excited induction generators. In this study, it is proposed to design the proper capacitance for self-excitation and voltage regulation, also. This methods are based on the induced MMF equations between main and the auxiliary winding. For the least influence between the two capacitors, the self-excited capacitor is selected under no load condition, while the series capacitor is designed under loaded condition. For the steady state analysis, the equivalent circuit of single-phase induction generators is used as circuit modeling using the double-revolving field theory. The validity of proposal methods and designed generator system will be confirmed by experimental and computed results.

This paper proposes a modeling method for hybrid generation system with wind turbine and diesel generator applicable in island area. For modeling objects, squirrel-cage induction generator is considered as wind turbine generator and synchronous generator as diesel generator. Parameters and controllers related to them are established and modeled through analysis of traditional small capacity class. The simulation results for practical size hybrid generation system were suggested.

The effect of change in DFIG (doubly-fed wind power generator) rotating speed and active power on the grid was analyzed to understand the characteristics of wind power using the wind power simulator connected to the grid at Gochang Power Quality Test Center. Electric power quality improvement devices (DVR, STATCOM, SSTS) and electric power quality disturbance application devices for 22.9 kV grid are equipped at Gochang Power Quality Test Center. Induction motor and VVVF inverter were used to emulate the blade of a wind power generator, and a simulator for Cage wound induction generator and DFIG was developed. The trial line were assumed to be 20 km and 40 km in length, and variable wind speed pattern was set using wind speed data from Ducjeokdo to verify the power characteristics of the wind power generator according to rotating speed.

This paper presents a variable speed wind generation system where fuzzy logic controllers is used as efficiency optimizer. The fuzzy logic controller increments the machine flux by on-line search to improve the generator efficiency in case of light load. The speed of the induction generator is controlled according to the variation of the wind speed in order to produce the maximum output power The generator reference speed is adjusted according to the optimum tip-speed ratio. The complete control system has been developed by simulation study.

Power interruption is a phenomenon that no voltage is displayed over a short time or long time. Most devices will not operate normally when the supply voltage is low or does not exist. However, the device can also be operated with a different power which is ensured by a separate power generation. Recently, power interruption has been reduced gradually by the improvement of electricity quality, its duration also has been very short. Induction motors are widely used for the pumping in the water and sewage facilities and power plant applications. The pump is used as a machine for moving the fluid in the high place from a low location. So pump equipment always have a potential energy. If a momentary interruption occurs, the potential energy of the pump is reversed as that of water turbine and motor is operated as generator. This study is an analysis for the voltage variation, current, torque and power flow by the generating operation of the induction motor before and after the change of momentary interruption.

This paper presents a grid-connected dual stator-winding induction generator (DWIG) wind power system suitable for wide wind speed ranges. The parallel connection via a unidirectional diode between dc buses of both stator-winding sides is employed in this DWIG system, which can output a high dc voltage over wide wind speed ranges. Grid-connected inverters (GCIs) do not require booster converters; hence, the efficiency of wind energy utilization increases, and the hardware topology and control strategy of GCIs are simplified. In view of the particularities of the parallel topology and the adopted generator control strategy, we propose a novel excitation-capacitor optimization solution to reduce the volume and weight of the static excitation controller. When this excitation-capacitor optimization is carried out, the maximum power tracking problem is also considered. All the problems are resolved with the combined control of the DWIG and GCI. Experimental results on the platform of a 37 kW/600 V prototype show that the proposed DWIG wind power system can output a constant dc voltage over wide rotor speed ranges for grid-connected operations and that the proposed excitation optimization scheme is effective.

Upon detecting a frequency event in a power system, the stepwise inertial control (SIC) of a wind turbine generator (WTG) instantly increases the power output for a preset period so as to arrest the frequency drop. Afterwards, SIC rapidly reduces the WTG output to avert over-deceleration (OD). However, such a rapid output reduction may act as a power deficit in the power system, and thereby cause a second frequency dip. In this paper, a hybrid reference function for the stable SIC of a doubly-fed induction generator is proposed to prevent OD while improving the frequency nadir (FN). To achieve this objective, a reference function is separately defined prior to and after the FN. In order to improve the FN when an event is detected, the reference is instantly increased by a constant and then maintained until the FN. This constant is determined by considering the power margin and available kinetic energy. To prevent OD, the reference decays with the rotor speed after the FN. The performance of the proposed scheme was validated under various wind speed conditions and wind power penetration levels using an EMTP-RV simulator. The results clearly demonstrate that the scheme successfully prevents OD while improving the FN at different wind conditions and wind power penetration levels. Furthermore, the scheme is adaptive to the size of a frequency event.
