Variable speed synchronous condenser using doubly-fed induction machine
The wound rotor induction machine (WRIM) presents characteristics that make it attractive as an energy storage system where the energy is stored as kinetic energy in the rotor moving parts. When operating in the doubly fed mode (DFIM), with the rotor fed by a variable frequency power converter, the WRIM behaves as a synchronous machine, differing from the latter in the variable speed operation and larger dumping effect when subjected to disturbances. As the converter only needs to be designed to handle a fraction of the total power, the system can be used at a high level of power. This paper presents the analysis of a Doubly Fed Induction Machine (DFIM) used as a controlled active and reactive power compensator. The simulation and experimental results obtained show that this system can be used for voltage control in a power system as well as load-leveling device.

| Summary: | The wound rotor induction machine (WRIM) presents characteristics that make it attractive as an energy storage system where the energy is stored as kinetic energy in the rotor moving parts. When operating in the doubly fed mode (DFIM), with the rotor fed by a variable frequency power converter, the WRIM behaves as a synchronous machine, differing from the latter in the variable speed operation and larger dumping effect when subjected to disturbances. As the converter only needs to be designed to handle a fraction of the total power, the system can be used at a high level of power. This paper presents the analysis of a Doubly Fed Induction Machine (DFIM) used as a controlled active and reactive power compensator. The simulation and experimental results obtained show that this system can be used for voltage control in a power system as well as load-leveling device. |
