Self-built wind power generation system

Can a wind turbine drive a self-excited induction generator?

A large penetration of wind generation into the power system will mean that poor power quality and stability margins cannot be tolerated from wind farms. This paper presents modeling, simulation and transient analysis of three phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by a wind turbine.

What is self-excitation in a wind turbine model?

Initiation of self-excitation is based on residual magnetism in the rotor circuit and voltage builds up with the support of reactive current supplied by the capacitor bank. Load is connected to the Wind driven SEIG after the voltage is developed to a steady state value. Fig 5.3. Flow chart for dynamics of Wind Turbine model 36

Which generator is best suited for wind plant?

The wind plant is subjected to speed variations as well as load perturbations leading to voltage fluctuations; hence SEIG is best suited generator for the wind plant. The SEIG is equipped with shunt compensator or any Hybrid FACTS Device as used in the present case.

Can a hybrid facts device control load voltages in a wind power plant?

This article engrossedon development of a Hybrid FACTS Device to control load voltages over wide range of load variations on wind power plant equipped with Hybrid FACTS device with Self Excited Induction Generator (SEIG).

How does the Integrated wind power system work?

The integrated WPS operates in both motor and generator modes, depending on the excess or shortfall of generated wind energy relative to load demand. In generator mode, the WPS supplements power when wind speeds are insufficient, while in motor mode, it stores excess energy by pumping water to an upper reservoir.

When was the first wind generator invented?

In 1891, the Dane Poul la Cour invented the first wind generator designed to produce electricity 3, 4. At the beginning of the 20th century, he designed the first vertical-axis wind turbine, with a relatively low power. It wasn’t until 1957 that the Danish manufacturer Gedser achieved an output power of 200 kW.
