| Summary: | —The escalating energy demand worldwide coupled
with the continues development in power electronics over the
past few decades has led to an increasing interest in sustainable
energy. Wind energy is considered as one of the most promising
sources of renewable energy. In this paper, a self-excited
induction generator is used to convert kinetic energy derived
from the prime mover (wind turbine) into electrical energy. In
order to supply the reactive power required by the machine, a
three-phase capacitor bank is connected to the generator
terminals. A three phase rectifier is used to utilize the conversion
of the AC voltage and current at the generator terminals to DC
voltage and current. Analytical model of the generator/rectifier
system is derived and then simulated using MatLab/Simulink
software. The results of the simulation are compared to practical
implementation of the system which show a reasonable
agreement. |
