Adjustable speed induction generators, especially the doubly fed induction generators
(DFIG), are becoming increasingly popular due to their various advantages over fixed speed …

Hydropower is a major energy source among the renewable energy sources. According to
“BP Statistical Review of World Energy, June 2013”, 16.34 percentage of global power …

Optimal Control of Wind Energy Systems is a thorough review of the main control issues in
wind power generation, covering many industrial application problems. A series of control …

Abstract The Industrial Ph. D. project" Analysis of dynamic behaviour of electric power
systems with large amount of wind power" has been started by the Danish power distribution …

This paper proposes a variable-speed wind generation system using an interior permanent-
magnet synchronous generator (IPMSG). The armature current vector of the IPMSG is …

The most prominent and rapidly increasing source of electrical power generation, wind
energy conversion systems (WECS), can significantly improve the situation with regard to …

This paper presents a novel control system for the operation of a switched reluctance
generator (SRG) driven by a variable speed wind turbine. The SRG is controlled to drive a …

A sensorless vector-control strategy for an induction generator in a grid-connected wind
energy conversion system is presented. The sensorless control system is based on a model …

This paper presents an analysis of a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) observer for
the sensorless control of a standalone doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The analysis …

To achieve maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for wind power generation systems, the
rotational speed of wind turbines should be adjusted in real time according to wind speed. In …
