Above Modelling and Adaptive Control of a Double Winded Induction Generator
This work addresses voltage regulation for induction generators with distinct excitation winding, but the results are incremental and validation is limited to specific study cases without quantitative benchmarks.
The paper models and applies minimum variance adaptive control to a double winded induction generator to maintain constant terminal voltage despite mechanical torque variations. The reduced-order 5th-order model and control structure are validated through study cases.
The paper deals with the modelling and control of a double winded induction generator. The controlled process is an induction generator with distinct excitation winding. At the generator terminal is connected a load (electrical consumer). There are presented the results obtained by using a minimum variance adaptive control system. The main goal of the control structure is to keep the generator output (terminal voltage) constant by controlling the excitation voltage from the distinct winding. The study cases in the paper are for the validation of the reduced order model of induction generator (5th order model) used only to design the adaptive controller. There is also validated the control structure. There were considered variations of the mechanical torque.
