Abstract

The Self Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) is an isolated power source, whose terminal voltage and frequency are controlled by the excitation of capacitance or the load impedance. A new strategy based on an active power filter (APF) for controlling the current and power quality of the self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is also presented in this paper. The proposed active filter proved to play an important role and give good dynamic response and robust behavior upon changes in load parameters. This investigation demonstrated that power average control strategy can facilitate the improvement of the power quality. This control method extracts fundamental (reference) components of the source current for the shunt active power line conditioners for nonlinear loads and unbalanced loads. The shunt APF in conjunction with the proposed controller perform perfectly under different steady state and transient conditions. The simulation results with nonlinear loads and unbalanced loads have showed the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for harmonic reduction in Wind based Power Generation.
