one of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (wecs) is how to achieve maxim­u­m output power in different wind speeds. maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst­e­ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. so, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. in this paper, n...

In recent years, there has been a fast growth in wind energy conversion system (WECS). There are two general types of wind turbines in WECS: fixed speed wind turbines and varying speed wind turbines.Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is one of the most attractive generators for the varying speed turbine WECS.In this paper, a fuzzy controller is proposed to control the current source ...

This article presents a performance comparison of an interior mounted permanent magnet synchronous generator (IPMSG) with a synchronous reluctance generator (SynRG) with the same size for a wind application. It is found that using the same geometrical dimensions, a SynRG can convert 74 % of the power that an IPMSG can convert, while it has 80% of the IPMSG weight. Moreover it is found that the ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach based on the Least Squares Error method for estimating the unknown parameters of the nonlinear 3rd order synchronous generator model. The proposed method uses the mathematical relationships between the machine parameters and on-line input/output measurements to estimate the parameters of the nonlinear state space model. The field voltage is...

In this research paper, the performance of an air-cored axial flux permanent magnet synchronous generator is evaluated for low speed, direct drive applications using 3D finite element modeling and experimental tests. The structure of the considered machine consists of double rotor and coreless stator, which results in the absence of core losses, reduction of stator weight and elimination of cog...

In this paper, the new approach for identification of synchronous generator using nonlinear feedback model and with piecewise linear map is investigated. In this method, synchronous generator model consists of a linear-dynamic block in forward path and a nonlinear-static block in feedback path. The identification method simultaneously approximates these blocks without requiring prior assumption...

Abstract This article is focused on the simulation and implementation of simple fuzzy logic excitation control of a synchronous generator. In MATLAB/SIMULINK is simulated model of the synchronous generator connected to an AC system. A simple fuzzy logic control scheme is simulated for voltage control and generator stabilization. This simulation is compared with the behaviour of the real laborat...

A reliable and accurate diagnosis of inter-turn short circuit faults is a challenging problem in the area of fault diagnosis of electrical machines. The purpose of this challenge is to be more efficient in fault detection and to provide a reliable method with low-cost sensors and simple numerical algorithms which not only detect the occurrence of the fault, but also locate its position in the w...
