Abstract

Shorted stator induction generator (IG) is presented for low wind speed power application. An analytical model is derived for predicting electrical performance of the generator while operating in regions 1 and 2 of turbine power versus wind speed curve. This paper determines an explicit optimal stator electrical speed of operation since the stator is disconnected from synchronism with the grid. A vector control scheme is developed for the IG. Simulation and experimental results are presented for a 5hp machine.
