Optimum control of reactive and real power in converter excited induction generator system for wind power generation

This paper shows new induction generation system for wind power generation. This system has the voltage source converter excited induction generator and the PFC converter to transfer the real power. Simulation and experimental results certifies that the dc/dc chopper control of the PFC converter can minimize the voltage source converter current, which only supplies exciting current for the induction generator. It is also shown that the output current from the voltage source converter is suppressed by the proper value of the reactive power compensation capacitor.
