| description | This paper presents a new constant frequency, direct grid-connected wind-based induction generator system (IGS). The proposed system includes a six-phase cage rotor with two separate three-phase balanced stator windings and a three-phase SV-PWM inverter which is used as a STATCOM. The first stator winding is connected to the STATCOM and is used to excite the machine. The main frequency of the STATCOM is considered to be constant and equal to the main grid frequency. In the second stator winding, the frequency of the induced emf is equal to the constant frequency, so the generator output frequency is independent of the load power demand and its prime mover speed. The second stator winding is directly connected to the main grid without an intermediate back-to-back converter. In order to regulate the IGS output active and reactive power components, a sliding mode control (SMC) is designed. Assuming unbalanced three-phase voltages for the main grid, a second SMC is developed to remove the machine output’s negative sequence currents. Moreover, a conventional PI controller is used to force the average exchanging active power between the machine and STATCOM to zero. This PI controller generates the reference value of the rotor angular speed. An adjustable speed pitch angle-controlled wind turbine is used as the IGS’s prime mover. The effectiveness and capability of the proposed control scheme have been supported by the simulation results. |
