Bibliography on the application of induction generators in nonconventional energy systems

Induction generators are increasingly being used in nonconventional energy systems such as wind, mini/micro-hydro, biogas, etc. The advantages of using an induction generator instead of synchronous generator are well known. Some of them are reduced unit cost and size, ruggedness, absence of separate DC source, ease of maintenance, self-protection against severe overloads and short circuits, etc. An attempt is made in this paper to present an exhaustive bibliography on the application of induction generators in nonconventional energy systems.     

Analysis of torques in large steam turbine driven inductiongenerator shafts following disturbances on the system supply

The paper first summarises the advantages of steam turbine-driven induction generators over conventional generators such as low cost, less maintenance, rugged and brushless rotors (squirrel cage type, no need for synchronisation, etc.), together with problems concerning excitation (VAr compensation at loads etc). A mathematical model of the induction generator simulated in direct-phase quantities where saturation of the magnetising reactances is simulated and saturation of stator and rotor leakage reactances is ignored is developed and employed for detailed simulation of the machine. Discrete-mass models of the machine shaft where both steam and electrical viscous damping is simulated are employed in comparing transient shaft torsional response evaluated by time domain simulation and frequency domain analysis following incidence and clearance of severe system faults. The paper then investigates torsional response following incidence and clearance of severe supply system disturbances, when the rotor is stationary and when running at close to synchronous speed unexcited, and following malsynchronisation when excited by a controlled VAr source, together with torsional response following bolted stator-terminal short-circuits at full-load and no-load following switching in of the induction generator onto the system supply. It examines precision of predicting torque in turbine-generator shafts by frequency domain analysis not analyzed for induction generators in the literature heretofore following incidence and clearance of worst-case disturbances on the supply. Effect of steam and electrical damping on maximum shaft torques predicted by frequency domain analysis is also illustrated. The results illustrate there is no tendency for shaft torques to become more onerous as the fault clearing time is increased as is the case for shaft torques in large synchronous machines. Three large two-pole machines of rating of up to a few hundred MWs are analysed     

A survey of shaft voltage reduction strategies for induction generators in wind energy applications

Common mode voltage generated by PWM inverters and the parasitic couplings of the machine structure in high frequencies create a model for the system which leads to an induced voltage on the shaft. Shaft voltage became a dominant side effect of power electronic converters since they are widely used in wind turbine applications to prepare desirable frequency and suitable control on active and reactive power. This voltage is known as the main cause of many unwanted problems such as leakage current, ball-bearings damages and reduction of generator's life time. In this paper, pulse width modulation strategies have been presented for two-level and three-level back-to-back AC–DC–AC converters in order to reduce or eliminate common mode voltage of these converters for reduction or elimination of shaft voltage in squirrel cage and doubly fed induction generators. Applying these techniques lead to complete elimination of shaft voltage for squirrel cage Induction generator with back to back AC/DC/AC converter and a 66 percent reduction of the shaft voltage generation in the Doubly Fed Induction Generator. Simulation results and mathematical analysis have been presented to investigate proposed techniques.     

An analysis of subsynchronous resonance in hybrid marine current and wind farms with squirrel cage induction generator

Subsynchronous resonance (SSR) is a well-known phenomenon in series-compensated systems with synchronous generators. With the rapid growth of renewable energy systems, it is likely that with its integration to series-compensated system for the transmission of bulk power may lead to the problem of SSR. This paper conducts an analysis of SSR phenomena in the squirrel cage induction generator-based hybrid wind farm and marine current farm connected to series-compensated system with power variation due to the addition or removal of small turbine units. A dynamic model has been developed to analyse the induction generator effect and torsional interaction of SSR on the IEEE first bench mark model for SSR studies. The eigenvalue analysis was performed on the developed model with MATLAB and the time domain electro magnetic transient simulation performed on DiGSILENT Power Factory confirms the predicted results by the eigenvalue analysis.

A Novel Scheme to Connect Wind Turbines to the Power Grid

In this paper, a new scheme is proposed to connect wind turbines to the power grid. This scheme helps in limiting the fault currents as well as in voltage unbalance compensation. Voltage is injected in series with the transmission line to limit the fault currents as well as to balance the voltages. This scheme allows wind turbines to remain synchronized to the grid during faults or during low voltages and is useful for doubly fed as well as squirrel cage induction generators.      

A new control strategy for tracking peak power in a wind or wave energy system

Online rotor mixed fault diagnosis way based on spectrum analysis of instantaneous power in squirrel cage induction motors

Broken rotor bars and eccentricity are common faults in squirrel cage induction motors. These two faults usually occur simultaneously. This paper will deal with this kind of mixed fault. It is well known that the characteristic frequency of broken bars in the stator line current of a squirrel cage induction motor is very near to that of the fundamental component. In the spectrum of the stator line current, the characteristic components related to broken rotor bars are always submerged by the fundamental one, and it is difficult to detect the broken bar fault at an early stage. In our work, instantaneous power of the motor is used as the quantity to be monitored. Theoretical analysis indicates that the spectrum of ac level of the spectrum of the instantaneous power is clear from any component at the fundamental supply frequency, and the fault characteristics can be highlighted, which is effective toward the separation of mixed faults and the quantification of the fault extent. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed technique.     

Determination of radial-forces in relation to noise and vibrationproblems of squirrel-cage induction motors

The radial electromagnetic forces in induction motors play an important role in the production of audible noise and vibrations. The magnetic flux pulsations at the iron surfaces produce these radial forces, which act on the stator and rotor structures. An analysis for the calculation of the various field harmonics and radial forces in squirrel cage induction motors is presented in this paper. To verify the validity of the analysis, a squirrel cage induction motor is analyzed. Theoretical and experimental results are presented with a view to determine the actual role played by the air-gap harmonic fields on the radial forces. Also, the effects of loading on the radial forces and the ensuing vibrations are closely examined     

A novel stand-alone dual stator-winding induction generator with static excitation regulation

On the basis of the new idea of electric power integration, a novel stand-alone dual stator-winding induction generator (DWIG) system is built. In this generator, there are two sets of windings to be embedded in the stator slots. One, referred to as the 12-phase power winding, supplies power to the dc load via a 12-phase bridge rectifier, and the other, called the 3-phase excitation winding, is connected to a pulsewidth modulation (PWM) voltage source static excitation regulator (SER). A solid iron squirrel cage rotor is suitable for high speed generation. Experiments and simulations show the ac capacitors can reduce the inductance of rectifier loads and help to reduce the capacitance of the SER. A simple control methodology based on stator voltage orientation (SVO) is presented to regulate the output voltage of the 12-phase bridge rectifier in this paper. Moreover, the electric energy quality and the relative influence factors are studied by detailed experiments and analyses. The proposed system is especially suitable for self contained electrical systems, such as those found on electric vehicles, ships, and aircraft, where high performance and compact size are essential.     

Sensor-less maximum power point tracking control for wind generation system with squirrel cage induction generator

This paper proposes a technique that determines the optimal windmill operation speed and the optimal rotor flux. Moreover, the position and speed sensor-less wind generation system using the electromotive voltage observer to estimate rotor position and full-order observer to estimate rotor speed and the windmill output torque are proposed. The position and speed sensor-less maximum power point of wind power generation system is controlled by using the above estimated values, optimized windmill operation speed for maximum output power and optimized rotor flux for minimum generator losses. The effectiveness of the position and speed sensor-less maximum power point tracking control for wind power generation system with squirrel cage induction generator is verified by simulations. The simulation results confirm that the proposed method can estimate the operation speed efficiently.     

Influence of the variable-speed wind generators in transient stability margin of the conventional generators integrated in electrical grids

This work demonstrates that the integration of variable-speed wind systems with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) and a four-quadrant AC-to-AC converter connected to the rotor windings increases the transient stability margin of the electrical grids, when compared with the case where the fixed speed wind systems with cage generators are used. It is due to the influence of the two dedicated rotor current regulators of the DFIG on the dynamic behavior of the other generators in the system. Besides, adequate models to represent the behavior of the DFIG in transient stability studies are presented. From the simulation results, some important conclusions can be extracted to guide the integration of the wind farms on weak or strong grids.     

Novel power capture optimization based sensorless maximum power point tracking strategy and internal model controller for wind turbines systems driven SCIG

Under the trends to using renewable energy sources as alternatives to the traditional ones, it is important to contribute to the fast growing development of these sources by using powerful soft computing methods. In this context, this paper introduces a novel structure to optimize and control the energy produced from a variable speed wind turbine which is based on a squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) and connected to the grid. The optimization strategy of the harvested power from the wind is realized by a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on fuzzy logic, and the control strategy of the generator is implemented by means of an internal model (IM) controller. Three IM controllers are incorporated in the vector control technique, as an alternative to the proportional integral (PI) controller, to implement the proposed optimization strategy. The MPPT in conjunction with the IM controller is proposed as an alternative to the traditional tip speed ratio (TSR) technique, to avoid any disturbance such as wind speed measurement and wind turbine (WT) characteristic uncertainties. Based on the simulation results of a six KW-WECS model in Matlab/Simulink, the presented control system topology is reliable and keeps the system operation around the desired response.     

Transient performance of the self regulated short shunt selfexcited induction generator

A detailed investigation is carried out on the transient behaviour of the short shunt self-excited induction generator (SEIG) system subjected to different dynamic conditions.

Response of the system to disturbances reveals excellent transient performance. The system has good overload capability and is free from operational problems related with short circuits and loss of excitation. By presenting typical results of a 3.7 kW, three-phase squirrel cage machine, the suitability of the short shunt SEIG for a simple, rugged and self regulated stand-alone generating system, is established
