Modelling and simulation of low speed wind power generation system using cage type induction machine

Abstract

This paper deals with the generation of power with the help of low speed wind turbine using squirrel cage induction machine. We have tried to generate power for low speed zone areas. Due to the decrease in the stock of fossil fuels across the world, we had to shift towards renewable sources of energy, which should be environment friendly. So, in this paper we have worked upon wind power generation. Till now, power generation for the wind speed in high and medium speed in the range of 8m/s to 25m/s, but we have tried to generate power with low speed range of around 4-5m/s. For the less maintenance and robustness, SCIM has been used. This scheme can be used in generation in even remote areas, so we have used capacitor for reactive power fulfilment of machine.
