Abstract

This paper shows new induction generation system for wind power generation. This system has the voltage source converter (VSC) exciting induction generator and the PFC converter to transfer the real power. Rated power of the VSC is minimized by transferring all the real power into the PFC converter. However, the harmonic components in the current from the VSC has larger peak than expected for the fundamental component. Therefore, active filter action to eliminate these harmonic components in the current from the VSC is investigated in this paper. Simulation results show the reduction rate of 1/5 of harmonic components by the active filter action.
