G.Radhakrishnan, G.R.Krishnakumar, R.Manju, S.Nandini . Analysis on Dgís Connection in a Developed Model of Doubly-Fed Wind Energy System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 15, 3 ( February 2011), 4-12. DOI=10.5120/1931-2577
In recent years, wind energy has become one of the most important and promising sources of renewable energy, which demands additional transmission capacity and better means of maintaining system reliability. The evolution of technology related to wind systems industry leaded to the development of a generation of variable speed wind turbines that present many advantages compared to the fixed speed wind turbines. These wind energy conversion systems are connected to the grid through Voltage Source Converters (VSC) to make variable speed operation possible. The stator of the generator is directly connected to the grid while the rotor is connected through a back-to-back converter which is dimensioned to stand only a fraction of the generator rated power.
