posted on 2018-09-25, 14:54 authored by Bashir A. ZahirThe thesis describes the design and development of a stand-alone variable-speed constant-frequency
self-excited induction generator, using field-oriented control techniques to
provide the necessary voltage and frequency control. Open- and closed-loop models are
developed for the generator using tensor techniques and these are subsequently used in the
control system design and simulation. For the closed-loop system, both conventional and
field-oriented control strategies are developed.
A laboratory-scale system was designed and built, to illustrate the system performance. The
generator is driven by a separately-excited DC motor to simulate a variable-speed wind
turbine and a 2.2kW wound rotor induction machine is used as the generator. The generator
excitation current is provided by a current-controlled voltage-source inverter. [Continues.]
