  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Finite Element Analysis Modeling and Experimental Verification of Reflected Wave Phenomena in Variable Speed Machine Drive Cables

    Creator:
    Louie, Alex
    Abstract:
    Modern variable speed machine drive (VSMD) systems are used for a variety of purposes including generation, propulsion, pumps and compressors. They employ high switching frequency power electronics to drive the electric machine. The machine is subject to large voltage overshoot if long power cables, are used, called Reflected Wave Phenomena...
