Abstract
A variable-speed generating system is described which uses a 3-phase squirrel-cage induction machine with self-excitation capacitors. The variable-frequency/variable-voltage generated is then fed through a 3-phase controlled rectifier to provide a d.c. supply at constant voltage. The proposed scheme is suitable for wind power sources as it allows wide changes in wind turbine speed and, at all speeds, optimum generating power can be set up by rectifier delay angle control.
