Title: Brushless doubly-fed generator control system

Abstract

An energy conversion generation system receives energy from a resource and converts the energy into electrical power for supply to a polyphase electric power grid operating at a system frequency. A prime mover driven by the resource energy and a converter, such as a power electronic converter, for produces excitation power from power received from a converter power source. A brushless doubly-fed generator has a rotor with rotor windings and a stator with stator windings comprising first and second polyphase stator systems. The rotor is driven by the prime mover. The first stator system supplies the electrical power to the grid, and the second stator system receives the excitation power from the converter. A sensor senses a parameter of the electrical power output supplied to the grid and produces a sensor signal corresponding to the sensed parameter. A controller controls the converter in response to the sensor signal. The controller establi This invention was made with government support under Grant No. 79-85BP24332, awarded by the Bonneville Power Administration. The United States government has certain rights in this invention.
