Generators for rural electrification from renewable energy

This paper presents generators models for rural electrification systems, fed from renewable energy. A brief introduction on wind energy and biomass system is shown, followed by dynamic modeling of three phase induction generator, single phase induction generators and Permanent Magnet generator. The aim of this research is to propose optimal electrification system design for rural areas, which are suitable in operation with regard to conventional drawbacks in these systems due to unbalance and faulty events in the power lines. This requires taking in to consideration the generators transient response capabilities, which inherently depend on the machine parameters. A good starting point will be to have suitable generators models likely to be used in such systems. Models of these generators are presented with simulation results using Matlab-Simulink.
