Useful Simulation Tool for Induction Generators Used In Wind Power Plants

Electric energy generated by wind power plants is the fastest developing and most promising renewable energy source in Europe. Due to the advantages of power electronics wind energy conversion systems equipped with doubly fed induction generators for variable speed wind turbines are one of the most efficient configurations for wind energy conversion. The mathematical model and the simulation programs for such machines to be presented in the paper can help the understanding in this field and can be of real interest for all specialists involved in wind energy exploitation.
