Nonlinear control algorithm for a self-excited induction generator for wind power applications
Abstract
A non-linear state-feedback input-output linearizing control with tracking controllers for an isolated Induction Generator (IG) driven by a wind turbine and supplying an AC load is presented. For this purpose, an appropriate mathematical model of the IG based on the so-called stator-flux field oriented is detailed. Simulation results show that the input-output linearizing control provides an excellent control performances and a perfect tracking for both IG stator voltage magnitude and DC bus voltage. The proposed system can be directly explored for wind power generation purposes. Simulation results are curried out to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
