  • Three-dimensional finite element design procedure for the brushless doubly fed machine

    Creator:
    Thompson, Brenda E.
    Abstract:
    Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (BDFM) have potential advantages in variable speed generation and adjustable speed drive applications. The most significant of these advantages is a reduction in the power electronic converter rating, and therefore a reduction in overall system cost. Presently, efforts are being directed at optimizing the design of...

  • 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...

  • Aseismic performance of a cable-stayed structure with decentralized H[infinity] control

    Creator:
    Chńg, Guan B.
    Abstract:
    The dissertation uses state-of-the-art structural engineering theories, in parallel with the modern and still-developing control theory of electrical engineering to mitigate the vibratory responses of a double-stayed bridge subjected to strong earthquake ground motions. First, a nonlinear finite element model of the double-stayed bridge subjected to non-uniform (multi-support) earthquake excitations...
