The three-phase SEIG is driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) such as a wind turbine for the clean alternative renewable energy in rural areas. The VSPM is modeled by as a variable-speed separately-excited DC motor to simulate to the wind turbine. Also, the paper describes the dynamic performance of the VSPM and SEIG which includes prime mover torque, rotor speed, rotor frequency, and d-q axes dynamic stator voltages, As well as the electromagnetic torque and the magnetizing inductance of the SEIG. During voltage build up of the SEIG, the variation of the magnetizing inductance is considered. The input of wind powered SEIG is the wind speed which is not controllable. The wind speed could be, constant, or varying in a form of pulses, sinusoidal, or step change. Actually wind speed almost has a random variation according to the wind turbine location and its atmospheric conditions, but they can be set to operate within a given variation of speed. In this paper, the dynamic performance of the SEIG during loading instant is considered. The value of the excitation capacitance of the SEIG is also considered. The simulation results are given using Matlab7/Simulink toolbox program.","PeriodicalId":335848,"journal":{"name":"2006 Eleventh International Middle East Power Systems Conference","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128354453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, two strategies for induction motor speed control are proposed. Those two strategies are based on PSO and called maximum efficiency strategy and minimum operating cost strategy. The proposed technique is based on the principle that the flux level in a machine can be adjusted to give the minimum amount of losses and minimum operating cost for a given value of speed and load torque. The main advantages of the proposed technique are; its simple structure and its straightforward maximization of induction motor efficiency and its operating cost for a given load torque. As will be demonstrated, PSO is so efficient in finding the optimum operating machines flux level. The optimum flux level is a function of the machine load and speed requirements. Simulation results show that a considerable energy and cost savings is achieved in comparison with the conventional method of operation under the condition of constant voltage to frequency ratio.","PeriodicalId":335848,"journal":{"name":"2006 Eleventh International Middle East Power Systems Conference","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124665061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new inverter combines some desirable features of two and three-level inverters. The proposed open-leg switching strategy (OLSS) intentionally opens one of the three inverter-legs per-time, in a pre-planned sequence. Thus, the number of allowed states becomes 64 compared to 27 originally proposed by other modulation strategies. For a wye-connected load operating at low modulation index (M<O.5 p.u.), the output phase-voltage becomes a seven-level, 12-step waveform, instead of the 6-step one. Thus, the total harmonic distortion is highly reduced. Three new conduction-modes are presented, each verifies a reduced common-mode-voltage time-variation (dv/dt), low third harmonic content, and reduced switching frequency harmonics. For higher modulation indexes, a 4th conduction mode is presented, eliminating the low frequency harmonics in the neutral-point current, consequently reducing the dc-link capacitors sizes, and cost. Analytical models, computer simulation results, and experimental verification are presented.","PeriodicalId":335848,"journal":{"name":"2006 Eleventh International Middle East Power Systems Conference","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116910885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
