More and more applications requires DC voltage for operation. With growing demand comes a need for high power DC generators. One of the most popular machines used for AC power generation are Double-Fed Induction Machines (DFIG), due to fractional power rotor side converter. But such machine is not fit for DC voltage generation. Nonlinear load produces torque pulsation causing mechanical stresses and acoustic noise. One of the methods of reduction of this drawback is increasing stator phase number. The paper presents the model of Multi-Phase DFIG with stator connected rectifier and control algorithm. Simulation results of such system are presented. Keywords -sixphase double feed induction machine, multiphase machine, dc voltage generator, modeling.I.

The paper presents a comparison of different Direct Torque Control methods of a Stand-Alone Doubly Fed Induction DC-Voltage Generator, with classic field oriented control used as a benchmark. The system consists of a doubly fed induction generator the stator circuit of which is connected to the DC-bus with a diode rectifier, and the rotor circuit converter is connected to the same DC bus. The main problem of this power generation system are large torque oscillations caused by a nonlinear diode rectifier connected to the stator. Three direct torque control algorithms are described as a means of reduction of this drawback with simultaneous control of DC bus voltage and stator voltage frequency. The methods differ by the second variable used for control in parallel to the torque control path. The selected second variable is the d component of the rotor current vector, the d component of the stator flux or the stator flux module.

The paper presents a control method for the three-phase power converter operating under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. The method uses a new transformation to the non-Cartesian frame, which makes the controlled current vector components balanced in this frame even if originally the three-phase current is referenced as unbalanced. Furthermore, Park’s transformation makes the controlled variables constant, which allows to apply proportional–integral terms as current controllers independent of the required control target. Several control targets known from literature have been analyzed with regard to the required new transformation parameters, and the transformation parameters for all targets have been found. Simulation results are shown to prove the theoretical analysis, and the experimental test results are presented as practical validation of the proposed use of the non-Cartesian frame in control.

One of the currently investigated problems in power electronics-based electrical energy conversion is proper operation of electronic converters during grid voltage imbalance and harmonics. In classic control methods, it introduces oscillations of variables, resulting in the necessity to improve control systems with signals filtration and usually by application of resonant terms as part of current controllers. The paper presents a new approach to grid-connected inverter control based on transformation to a non-Cartesian frame, the parameters of which are correlated with grid voltage asymmetry. The proposed method results in resignation from resonant terms used as controllers and their replacement with proportional–integral terms for which anti-wind-up structures are significantly simpler than for oscillatory terms. The paper presents new transformation principles, features and some simulation results showing the waveforms of signals transformed to the new non-Cartesian frame.
