Abstract


The penetration of wind generation in modern day energy system is increasing day by day. Wind is a variable parameter in nature which has a significant effect on the generator behavior. Since most of the existing installed generators are self-excited induction generators (SEIG), they have a negative effect on the system during varying wind speeds and varying load. The primary parameter found responsible is reactive power requirement for self-excitation. So, instead of replacing these generator sets, an alternative reactive power source connected in coordination to machine can well handle these situations. In this context a new promising method of stabilizing SEIG with doubly fed generator (DFIG) is developed in this paper. A new technique of representing DFIG in terms of its equivalent capacitance is developed, to study reactive its power handling capabilities. The potential of the developed model in stabilizing the SEIG during varying wind speeds and varying load conditions is simulated and analyzed. The developed model is independent of complex d-q axis model and simple to understand the behavior of machine. The result shows that this method of supplying reactive power requirement of SEIG is satisfactory in maintaining voltage build up of SEIG. The results obtained are well validated by power balance.
