Induction generators for Wind Energy Conversion Systems. Part I: review of induction generator with squirrel cage rotor. Part II: the Double Output Induction Generator (DOIG). Progress report, July-December 1975
The application of induction generators in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) is described. The conventional induction generator, which is an induction machine with a squirrel cage rotor, had been used in large wind power plants in Europe, but has not caught much attention until now by designers of large systems in this country. The induction generator with a squirrel cage rotor is described and useful design techniques to build induction generators for wind energy application are outlined. The Double Output Induction Generator (DOIG) - so called because power is fed into the grid from the stator, as well as the rotor is described. It is a wound rotor induction machine with power electronics to convert rotor slip frequency power to that of line frequency.
