  • Passively controlled variable-speed generator system

    Creator:
    Bathon, Tobias Siegfried
    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...

  • A remotely controlled power quality test platform for characterizing the ride-through capabilities of adjustable speed drives

    Creator:
    Matheson, Evelyn
    Abstract:
    With the increased attention on high efficiency and controllability of industrial processes, as well as reduced weight, volume and cost of consumer products, the applications of nonlinear power electronic converters such as adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are showing a rapid rise. Power Quality (PQ) is becoming an increasing concern with...
