Abstract
This thesis presents the performance analysis and control of a wind driven three-phase Self-Excited Synchronous Reluctance Generator (SESRG) feeding an isolated load. A detailed mathematical modeling of the proposed self-excited wind generation system is presented. The proposed analysis is based on the dynamic qd-axis model of the SESRG. Magnetic saturation is taken into account and is assumed to be confined to the direct axis and is accounted for as a variable direct-axis magnetizing reactance. Self-excitation is achieved via capacitors connected across the generator terminals. The dynamic performance of SESRG under different operating conditions, including wind-speed variation and loading conditions variation, is presented and discussed. In addition, the presented control technique aims at regulating the load voltage and frequency under different operating conditions. The proposed wind-generation system consists of a wind turbine, SESRG, uncontrolled rectifier, single-phase inverter and single-phase load. The presented control strategy is based upon controlling the modulation index of the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) inverter. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy has been tested theoretically and experimentally. The presented experimental and simulated results support the capability of the presented control system to maintain the load voltage and frequency constant under different operating conditions.
