Abstract :
This paper presents a comparative analysis between the double-feed induction generator (DFIG) and directly connected squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) when they are used in a wave energy conversion system. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the operating ranges of the asynchronous generators and the generated power by the system. The simulations are developed and implemented in PSCAD/EMTDC.
