Sandhu (Professor) & S.P.Jain (Professor) Eletrial Engineering Department National Institute Of Tehnology, urukshetra-369 Haryana, India kjssandhu@yahoo.om, kjssandhu@rediffmail.om Abstrat Self-exited indution generators are found to be to be most suitable mahines for wind energy onversion in remote and windy areas due to several advantages over grid onneted mahines. Suh mahine exhibits poor performane in terms of voltage and frequeny under frequent variations of operating speeds, whih is a ommon feature in wind energy onversion. In this paper an attempt has been made to propose a simple model for the ontrol of wound rotor self-exited indution generator. Simulated results as obtained have been ompared with results on a test mahine and found to be in lose agreement. ey-words Indution Generator, enewable Generation, Steady State Analysis (SSA), Self- Exited Indution Generator, Wind Energy Generation, NOMENCATUE a per unit frequeny b per unit speed stator reatane per phase rotor reatane per phase, referred to stator apaitive reatane due to C at rated frequeny C E E exitation apaitane per phase air gap voltage per phase at rated frequeny rotor emf per phase referred to stator E a air gap voltage per phase= ae f I rated frequeny stator urrent per phase I rotor urrent per phase, referred to stator I load urrent per phase I m magnetizing urrent per phase P out output power ext s V load resistane per phase stator resistane per phase rotor resistane per phase, referred to stator external rotor resistane per phase, referred to stator generator slip terminal voltage per phase m magnetizing reatane per phase at rated frequeny. Introdution Continuous redution of onventional soures of energy as well as growing power demand has diverted the attention of sientists towards the non-onventional soures of energy suh as wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy and biogas. enewal energy is expeted to reate maximum impat in the prodution of eletriity. Projetions indiate that by the end of the first deade of the new entury, it would be ost effetive to generate and supply renewable eletriity. Besides grid supply augmentation, renewable eletri tehnologies offer possibilities of distributed generation at or near points of use, whih an redue peak loads and save on ostly up gradation and maintenane of transmission and distribution networks. Out of these wind energy is the fastest growing area of all renewable energy resoures and is attrative and viable. Man is utilizing wind power for the last 3 years. Earlier it was used to provide mehanial power to pump water or to grind grains. In early 97s with a sharp rise in oil pries, interest in wind power reemerged. However by the end of 99s, wind power beame as one of the sustainable energy resoure. No other renewable energy based eletriity produing tehnology has attained the same level of maturity as wind power. There are no major tehnial barriers to Page 64 ISBN:

It also offers an attrative investment option to the private setor for power generation. It is observed that winds arry enormous amount of energy and ould meet suffiient energy needs of the world. The regions in whih strong winds prevail for a suffiient time during the year may use wind energy profitable for different purposes. It has been found that ost of wind generation is omparable to that of hydro and thermal plants. There is a little doubt that while the ost of wind generation would be even lower in the oming years; the pries of fossil fuels used by thermal plants would definitely go up. In view of high apital onstrutional ost hydel power would be dearer too. In addition to this wind energy generation provides a lean and pollution free environment. It does not lead to global warming and ozone depletion. No hazardous waste is reated. Further a wind turbine generator may be a very worthwhile proposition for an isolated and remote area. Appliation of indution generators is well known to extrat the wind energy through turbines. Self-exited indution generators (SEIG) are found to be most suitable for many appliations inluding wind energy onversion systems. Suh generators may also be used in the remote areas in the absene of grid. SEIG has many advantages suh as brush less onstrution (squirrel-age rotor), redued size, absene of DC power supply for exitation as in onventional generators, redued maintenane ost, self short-iruit protetion apability and no synhronizing problem. Steady state equivalent iruit representation and mathematial modelling is requred to evaluate the steady-state performane of a SEIG feeding a speifi load. In order to estimate the performane of a SEIG, researhers have made use of the onventional equivalent iruit of an indution motor. Some of them [-6] used the impedane model, and a few [7-] used the admittane-based model for suh results. However it has been felt that the old onventional equivalent iruit model, in the absene of an ative soure, does not effetively orrespond to generator operation. Therefore [] suggested a new iruit model for the representation of indution generator. Further it is found that suh mahine exhibits poor performane in terms of voltage and frequeny under frequent variations of operating speeds, whih is a ommon feature in wind energy onversion. However suh variations in operating speeds may be ompensated by proper handling of rotor resistane & it is possible only in ase of wound rotor mahines. Therefore, in this paper an attempt has been made to propose a simple model for the steady state analysis and ontrol of wound rotor self-exited indution generator. Simulated results as obtained have been ompared with results on a test mahine and found to be in lose agreement. e /s I ja E a O ja I m ja m I -j /a Fig..
