Reactive power analysis and frequency control of autonomous wind induction generator using particle swarm optimization and fuzzy logic

摘要

Wind generation system is becoming increasingly important as renewable energy sources due to its advantages such as low maintenance requirement and mainly it does not cause environmental contamination. This paper presents the improvement procedure of the transient state and the regulation of the output frequency by adjusting the terminal capacitor. The aim is to provide frequency control of a self-excited induction generator in remote site using different strategies which are based on the adjustment of the reactive power at the outputs of a three-phase self-excited induction generator. A thyristor controlled reactor and a switched resistive load will be used to control reactive power. The proposed particle swarm optimization algorithm technique, location of the thyristor controlled reactor device, and parameter value are optimized simultaneously. The results obtained by this strategy will be compared with those provided by the use of Fuzzy Logic Controller. This study will be conducted through the analysis of the frequency in the steady state and transient case using a developed induction generator numerical model built using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation and experimental results will be exposed and analyzed considering a resistive inductive load on a laboratory test bench.
