Renewable Power Generation Using Asynchronous Generator: A Review

Wind energy is the form of sun energy. Flow of wind is not uniform all time. For conversion of wind energy into electrical energy synchronous generator were used. Synchronous generator used for the constant speed of power generation. So using synchronous generator for irregular wind energy conversion in electrical energy is not efficient. Due to such disadvantages of fixed speed generator, recent days variable speed generator using called doubly fed induction generators. This asynchronous generator has many advantages over fixed speed generator system. An asynchronous based turbine has a capacity to convert the wind energy into maximum electrical energy with changing and customizable speed. It is also having the capacity to control active and reactive power with the help of power electronics converter. When operating the doubly fed induction generator, generating system controlling and handling the plant for smooth and efficient operation is challenging task. Many control strategy were proposed by the researchers discuss in this chapter. This chapter presents an outline and a deep review of recent decades on the various issues related to infiltration of doubly fed Induction generator in wing generation system. Also discuss various problem associated in the proposed techniques and what the improvement required for future work.
