  • The doubly-excited generator and its utilization in a variable-speed generating system

    Creator:
    Agha-Mirsalim, Mojtaba
    Abstract:
    The doubly-excited machine can be used as a variablespeed generator or as a variable-speed-drive motor. In this thesis the focus is on the aspects associated with generating electric power (real and reactive) from erratic energy resources such as water or wind. In such cases, the power input to the prime...

  • Voltage controller for a variable speed generation system

    Creator:
    Weigand, Claus H.
    Abstract:
    An important task of a Variable Speed Generation (VSG) system is the capability to maintain and control the terminal voltage at some desired value as determined by the reactive power dispatch strategy.The main objective is to design a sub-optimal fixed-parameter controller in the sense that constraints with respect to practical...

  • Supervisory control of a doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Werahera, Priya N.
    Abstract:
    An EMCON-D distributed process controller is evaluated for control and monitoring of an experimental doubly-fed machine system. A closed-loop control circuit is implemented to operate the doubly-fed machine with constant rotor current. A standard PID algorithm as well as an algorithm tailored to the doubly-fed machine are evaluated.

  • Investigation and mitigation of the adverse effects of PWM adjustable speed drives

    Creator:
    Zhang, Haoran
    Abstract:
    With the introduction of high speed semiconductor power devices and the increased application of adjustable speed drives (ASDs) for efficient speed control of ac motors, there has been a growing number of costly motor-drive related process failures. It has been found that the high dv/dt and high switching frequency have...

  • Design procedure for brushless doubly-fed machine used as a limited speed-range pump drive

    Creator:
    Alajmi, Abdulhadi M.
    Abstract:
    The continuing desire of industry to further improve process efficiency, through tighter control and energy conservation, has prompted users to pay closer attention to Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs). The conventional ASDs consist of induction or synchronous motors controlled by power electronic controllers through the adjustment of supply frequency and line...

  • Voltage sag and momentary interruption ride-through for adjustable speed drives

    Creator:
    van Zyl, Annabelle
    Abstract:
    The awareness of electric power quality has increased over the past decade as electronic equipment has become more susceptible to power disturbances. The most disruptive power disturbances are voltage sags and momentary interruptions and their effect on adjustable speed drives (ASDs) is studied in this thesis. Several solutions have been...

  • Analysis and design of the brushless doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Rochelle, Patrick R.
    Abstract:
    Use of conventional induction machines (IM) in adjustable speed drives (ASD) has increased in recent years. Electronic power processing has facilitated this increased use. The IM is an inexpensive and robust machine, but when used as part of an ASD, the cost of the system increases due to the inclusion...

  • A new and improved control of a power electronic converter for stabilizing a variable speed generation system using an embedded microcontroller

    Creator:
    Venkatswamy, Suresh
    Abstract:
    A new and improved stabilizer was developed for the variable speed generation (VSG) system. The VSG system exhibits periodic oscillations which sometimes leads to a loss of synchronism. After careful study, a simple but effective strategy to stabilize the system was implemented with real time digital feedback control. The VSG...

    Abstract:
    This thesis presents both an analysis and simulations of a passively controlled variable-speed generator system, which can be applied for renewable energy sources such as wind turbines. Parallel connected passive/external resistors and inductors are connected to the slip rings of a wound rotor induction machine to provide an acceptable speed...

  • Development of a variable-speed, doubly-fed wind power generation system

    Creator:
    Brune, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Generation of electricity from the wind is becoming increasing popular as an environmentally responsible resource. Current methods for generating electricity from the wind involve the use of fixed-speed generators. However, the use of variable-speed generators increases the amount of energy that can be extracted from the wind. Most variable-speed technologies...
