Modeling and Simulation of Self Excited Induction Machine for Wind Power Generation

Objective of this article is to propose modeling and simulation of self-excited induction machine for wind power generation. The earlier models of such generators capable of generating electric power are facing huge mechanical losses due to wear and tear in the tightly coupled mechanical gear systems. Due to this heavy arrangement in each and every constituent mechanical assembly, the earlier design could not provide maximum efficiency. In this article, the proposed model focuses on the performance of the system using the concept of variation of mutual inductance in the generator windings. This new model can be possible to generate maximum power with the variation of mutual inductance of stator and rotor windings irrespective of the variation of wind velocities. The complete system is modeled and simulated in the MAT LAB/SIMULINK environment. The results of this renewable model and design are to promote green energy systems in the future.
