This paper presents the MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking)control method of the PMSG wind generation system using the turbine model with a squirrel cage induction motor. The torque of squirrel cage induction turbine model is controlled by mathematization of speed characteristics of real blade. In this paper, maintenance and cost issues into consideration, except for previous method using information of the velocity of the wind speed sensor, the algorithm is presented. The algorithm is controlled by tracking the optimal point, the generator speed and maximum grid power. The vector controls of the generator side converter and the grid side converter are controlled respectively to obtain maximum torque and regulate unity power factor. With Psim simulations and experiments, the efficiency of squirrel cage induction turbine model and the validity of control algorithm are verified.

This paper describes development of a hardware simulator for the PMSG wind power system. The simulator consists of a realistic wind turbine model using anemometer, vector drive, induction motor. The turbine model generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with real wind speed. The torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit for the input power of 3kW PMSG. The hardware simulator was developed through computer simulations, and the operation was confirmed by experimental works.

Thermal deformations and stresses due to temperature changes are the serious problems in cryogenic structures such as the torque tube in a superconducting generator, In this paper, the equations of thermal expansion coefficients expressed only by material properties and winding angles are derived for the filament wound composite tubes. The experimental results of thermal contraction of CFRP tubes are compared with those from theoretical approach. Composite tubes with optimally regulated thermal expansion coefficient are designed on the basis of the study for the torque tube in the superconducting generator with temperature distributions varying from 300K to 4.2 K. The filament winding angle of composites resisting thermal stresses properly is sought by the finite element method using layered shell elements. The results show that the composite tubes designed for the requirements in cryogenic environments can effectively cope with the thermal stress problem.

This paper proposes an analysis and operation strategy of a grid-connected wind turbine system using a diode rectifier. The currents of generators are the same as that of a small wind turbine system. Therefore, the analysis of generator torque is required as opposed to an analysis of blade speed. In this paper, the appropriate MPPT control method is proposed to control generator torque. Usefulness of the proposed operation strategy is verified by simulations and experiments.

This paper investigates control algorithms for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) with back-to-back converter in medium-voltage wind power system under unbalanced grid conditions. Operation of DFIG under unbalanced grid conditions causes several problems such as overcurrent, unbalanced currents, active power pulsation and torque pulsation. Three different control algorithms to compensate for the unbalanced conditions have been investigated with respect to four performance factors; fault ride-through capability, efficiency, harmonic distortions and torque pulsation. The control algorithm having zero amplitude of negative sequence current shows the most cost-effective performance concerning fault ride-through capability and efficiency. The control algorithm for nullifying the oscillating component of the instantaneous active power generates least harmonic distortions. Combination of these two control algorithms depending on the operating requirements presents most optimized performance factors under the generalized unbalanced operating conditions.

This paper develops a coordinated control strategy of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) system based on repetitive control (RC) under generalized harmonic grid voltage conditions. The proposed RC strategy in the rotor side converter (RSC) is capable of ensuring smooth DFIG electromagnetic torque that will enable the possible safe functioning of the mechanical components, such as gear box and bearing. Moreover, the proposed RC strategy in the grid side converter (GSC) aims to achieve sinusoidal overall currents of the DFIG system injected into the network to guarantee satisfactory power quality. The dc-link voltage fluctuation under the proposed control target is theoretically analyzed. Influence of limited converter capacity on the controllable area has also been studied. A laboratory test platform has been constructed, and the experimental results validate the availability of the proposed RC strategy for the DFIG system under generalized harmonic grid voltage conditions.

This paper deals with the power conversion and design of permanent magnet generator for wind power applications. This paper derives analytical solutions for open-circuit field, armature reaction field, torque, back-emf, inductance and resistance of permanent magnet generators for wind power applications. And then, by presenting the variation of torque according to design parameters and by applying restrict conditions to it, we determine proper design parameter appropriate to rated power and speed. Finally, this paper also presents power conversion system resonable in wind power applications.

A 1 MW class HTS (High-Temperature Superconducting) synchronous motor has been developed. This motor is aimed to be utilized for industrial application such as large motors operating in large plants. The HTS field coil of the developed motor is cooled by way of neon thermo siphonmechanism and the stator (armature) coil is cooled by water through hollow copper conductor. This paper also describes evaluation of some electrical parameters from performance test results of our motor, which was conducted at steady state in generator mode and motor mode. Open and short circuit tests were conducted in generator mode while a 1.1 MW rated induction machine was rotating the HTS machine. Electrical parameters such as mutual inductance and synchronous inductance are deduced from these tests. Load test was done upto rating torque during motor mode and efficiency was measured at each load torque.

Generator efficiency optimization is important for economic saving and environmental pollution reduction. In general, the machine loss can be reduced by the decreasing the flux level, resulting in the significant reduction of the core loss. This paper proposesan model-based controller is used to decrement the excitation current component on the basis of measured stator current and machine parameters and the q-axis current component controls the generator torque, by which the speed of the induction generator iscontrolled according to the variation of the wind speed in order to produce the maximum output power. The generator reference speed is adjusted according to the optimum tip-speed ratio. The generated power flows into the utility grid through the back-to-back PWM converter. The grid-side converter controls the dc link voltage and the line-side power factor by the q-axis and the d-axis current control, respectively. Experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed scheme.
