Abstract

Wind Turbines with higher power ratings are desired to reduce construction cost and maintenance time and increase energy yields. Three phase Induction generators are widely used in renewable power generation. Self-excited, squirrel cage induction generators are ideally suited for remote, stand-alone applications of low and medium power generation. The Emerging Multiphase Induction Generator (MPIG) with phases more than three is receiving significant attention for high power applications. This paper aspires at the performance investigation of five phase induction generator (FPIG) in self excited mode for standalone wind applications. The d-q model of FPIG developed using Matlab/Simulink . The performance of wind driven FPIG under different operating conditions has been analyzed. The process of voltage build up, current and torque under no load and loaded conditions are presented. The results are compared with three phase self-excited induction generator to show the effectiveness of FPIG for high power wind generation.
