Performance evaluation of vector controlled asymmetrical two-phase induction generator using three-leg voltage source inverter

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of a vector controlled asymmetrical two-phase induction generator (TPIG) using a three-leg voltage source inverter. The proposed method is a decoupling scheme by controlling flux and torque separately. Improved performance is achieved by compensated stator currents. Matlab/Simulink software is applied to the presented system under various conditions. The simulation results of dynamic response for the proposed vector control are compared to those for scalar control with slip frequency regulation leading to conclude that TPIG can be used for wind energy applications.
