Abstract

This paper focuses on the electrical generation part of a wind energy conversion system. After a brief introduction of the induction machine, the electrical generator used in this paper, a detailed analysis of the induction machine operated in stand-alone mode is presented. This paper shows the effect of magnetic saturation during self- excitation process in an isolated three phase induction generator, for a given capacitance and rotor speed value. When the steady state condition of a self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is attained, an increase of load causes a decrease in the magnitude of generated voltage and its frequency. The dynamic model of the SEIG system is developed using dq variables in stationary reference frame. For the validation of mathematical modelling, model of Matlab Simulink is developed and performed on three phase SEIG machine with the internal model controller (IMC). Simulation results of the self-excited induction generator driven by the variable speed wind turbine are presented in the last section of this paper. The process of voltage build up and the effect of saturation characteristics are also explained.
