Modeling and control of squirrel cage induction generator with full power converter applied to windmills

The project aims to develop a dynamic model, of a generation system of electrical energy with a variable speed wind turbine using a squirrel cage induction generator which is connected to the grid by a back to back frequency converter, for testing purposes. In the project has been done an analysis of the mathematical equations of the whole system, separating the mechanical system (turbine and gearbox) and the electrical (generator and converter). We study the control design of the machine which allow us to obtain the maximum wind power extraction, and we also study the control of the converter which couple the generator with the network. The proper functioning of the model is checked comparing the obtained results with some commonly known results.Outgoin
