INDIRECT FIELD CONTROL OF THE GRID CONNECTED WIND TURBINE SQUIRREL CAGE GENERATOR SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper presents a wind power control system connected to the grid with a squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG). The control system is based on generator converter and grid converter. The vector control of generator side and grid side converters is done on PSIM software. In this study, the author proposes an indirect field control method, using a control model, to obtain the terminal voltage, reducing the number of required sensors and saving the overall cost. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified through simulation results.
