A Review: Power Regulation of Multi-Phase Induction Generator based Wind Energy Conversion System

The increasing number of wind power systems connected to the grid also affects the power flow and therefore node voltage. It becomes a need to design wind farms with the ability to operate in the event of a fault. In this review, an efficient work to study the system designed for achieving the power regulation in a variable speed wind energy conversion system. The work is done with the objective to give a light for future researches in developing a system with better voltage and power regulation in a variable speed wind energy conversion system (WECS). It includes six- phase double fed induction generator providing increased efficiency and decreased losses. Use of modular multilevel converters and multi- phase generators will reduce the total harmonic distortion and will increase the overall efficiency of the WECS leading to more productivity at least possible operating and maintenance cost.
