Abstract

This work concerns an investigation on the analysis of the magnetic saturation effects in the three-phase squirrel cage induction generator which is considered as a main device in wind energy conversion systems. The magnetic saturation is considered as an important factor causing destructive effects on power qualities such as harmonics and distortion. Several approaches have been presented in the literature for the modeling of the electric machines considering magnetic saturation. The widely used and precise approach is the finite elements method which is particularly characterized by its high computational time. The novelty in this paper is that a state model has been developed for the healthy conditions of the three-phase squirrel cage induction generators considering the experimental variation of the magnetizing inductance in terms of the magnetizing current. Simulation and experimental tests are provided to extract some important signatures on stator voltages and currents. It will be deduced that the spectrum analysis of stator currents contains useful information on magnetic saturation. Experimental and theoretical results illustrate the consistency of this approach for the modeling and analysis of the squirrel cage induction generators considering the magnetic saturation.

Abstract

In this paper, a novel approach has been developed for the modeling and analysis of doubly fed induction generators operating under unbalanced load conditions. This comprehensive approach considers the derivation of the doubly fed induction generator’s neutral voltage during unbalanced conditions. Using this innovative approach, important and extremely precise signatures on stator currents and voltages have been extracted during a rational simulation time. It has been shown that for unbalanced conditions, an abnormal operation is produced. It is characterized by unbalanced stator voltages, currents, and specific harmonics through the stator variables. These harmonics have been proposed to detect unbalanced conditions. The consistency and reliability of this approach for the analysis and modeling of unbalanced doubly fed induction generators are validated by the coherence and good correlation between experimental and simulation results.

Abstract

This paper describes a new methodology for the modeling and analysis of three-phase synchronous generators operating under an unbalanced regime. For this, an improved state model has been developed in order to determine significant signatures on stator and rotor electromagnetic quantities. This methodology is characterized by some advantages. Firstly, it can be generalized for the modeling of severe defects like open-phase and short circuits. Furthermore, by comparison to classical approaches based on the finite elements and symmetrical components methods, this approach gives a good compromise between precision and simulation time. The obtained results show the effectiveness of this approach for the analysis of unbalanced synchronous generators.
