 Abstract—Objective of this paper is to propose modeling and

simulation of self-excited induction machine for wind power

generation (SEIMWPG). The earlier models of such

generators capable of generating electric power are facing

huge mechanical losses due to wear and tear in the tightly

coupled mechanical gear systems. Due to this heavy

arrangement in each and every constituent mechanical

assembly, the earlier design could not provide maximum

efficiency. In this paper the proposed model focuses on the

performance of the system using the concept of variation of 

mutual inductance in the generator windings. This new model

can be possible to generate maximum power with the variation

of mutual inductance of stator and rotor windings irrespective

of the variation of wind velocities. The complete system is

modeled and simulated in the MAT LAB/ SIMULINK

environment. The results of this renewable model and design

are to promote green energy systems in the future.

I. I NTRODUCTION

Wind energy research has developed significantly over 

the past few years. In spite of this development, more tech-nological advances are needed to make wind energy com-

 petitive with many other energy supply techniques. The varia-tion of the mutual inductance of stator and rotor windings of SEIG has taken care of the wind speed fluctuations and tomaintain the output voltage generation at rated value has

 been presented in [1]. In [2], the modeling and simulationcan be used to study the performance calculations of wind 

 power generating systems. In this model of SEIG, variation of the magnetizing inductance is the main factor in the dynam-ics of voltage build-up and stabilization which have beenalso given. In a DFIG model, the effects of several parameters

are (drive-train inertias, stiffness, generator mutual induc-tance, and stator resistance) operating points (rotor speed,reactive power loading, and terminal voltage level), and grid strength (external line reactance value) on the system modeswhich have been studied in [3]. A complete analysis of a WTdriven SEIG as a part of a supply system to an isolated load has been carried out. To achieve this, a new simplified modelhas first been derived for a WT driven SEIG system [4]. Adetailed DFIG based wind turbine model, including two-massdrive train, pitch control, induction generator, back-to-back PWM converters, and vector-control loops have been de-veloped [5].

The development is based on applying a mixture of linear and nonlinear control design techniques on three time scales,including feedback linearization, pole placement, and gradient-based minimization of potential function which has

 been studied [6]. A new algorithm has also been presented inorder to minimize the torque and flux ripples and to improvethe performance of the basic direct torque control (DTC)scheme [7]. A real-time model of a DFIG-based grid-connected WTGS model has been developed with accurate and efficient

manner through the real-time simulator [8]. The calculationof all the machine inductance as by the inductance matricesis formulated, and it is the key to the successful simulation of an induction machine which has been presented in [9]. In[10], a new hybrid high voltage direct current (HVDC)connection for large wind farms with DFIGs system modelwhich has also been described and derived.

In [11], the d-q-modeling for the three phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) with squirrel cage rotor and itsoperating performance have been evaluated. The steady state

 performance of the SEIG with different optimization techniqueis available and the effects of various system parametershave been presented in [12], [13] and [17]. In [14], artificial

intelligent techniques are used to model the control strategyfor proper reactive compensation under different operatingconditions and to maintain the terminal and load voltage. Aseries-parallel compensation system tracks the maximum

 power curve of the wind turbine and this system can be scaled up to a higher voltage and higher power to process very high

 power in SEIG based wind power generation which has beenstudied [15].

A number of approximations and simplifications had to be made to describe the fault behavior and to determine theequations for the short circuit current analysis of DFIG has

 been studied [16]. The new control strategies to tackle problems such as vibration and ride through and the

II. PROPOSED MODEL OF SELF-EXCITED I NDUCTION MACHINE

FOR WIND POWER  GENERATION

It is proposed that a wind turbine is coupled with a Self-Excited Induction Machine (SEIM) for electric power generation. In this case, no mechanical gearing system has

 been utilized; because of mechanical losses like wear and tear and mechanical friction losses, the mechanical gearingreplaced by an electrical system, as discussed in Fig.1, whichshows the flow diagram of the wind power generating system.

Where, is the wind speed in metres/second, is the

mutual inductance of the windings in henries, is the voltage

generated and is the rated voltage output. The first step is

to initialize the process of operation; the second step is to propose the variables involved in the process, such as wind speed, mutual inductance of the stator and rotor windings of the SEIG and voltage generation.

Figure 1. Flow diagram of the proposed SEIMWPG

The main variable is the mutual inductance of the SEIG, inwhich it is dependent on the speed of the wind turbine, based on the wind velocity. The third step is the variation of themutual inductance, in which it is inversely proportional tothe wind velocity, and voltage generation which is directly

 proportional to the mutual inductance of the windings of theSEIG. The fourth step is, if the voltage generation is less thanthe rated value, the loop.1, is directed to increase the mutualinductance of the SEIG and to increase the voltage genera-tion up to the rated value. The fifth step is, if the voltagegeneration is more than the rated value, loop.2, is directed toreduce the mutual inductance of the SEIG and, to reduce thevoltage generation up to the rated value. Thus, the wind 

 power generation is always maintained rated value, irrespec-tive of the variation of wind velocities.

III. MODEL OF SEIMWPG

Figure 2(a). Schematic Model of SEIMWPG

Figure 2(b). Circuit Model of SEIMWPG

A three phase induction machine has been converted asa self-excited induction generator with a three-phase capaci-tor bank of a sufficient value is connected across the stator terminals. When the rotor of three phase induction machineis externally driven at a suitable speed and it can generate

electricity. Fig.2 (a), shows the schematic diagram of aSEIMWPG system. Whenever, the induction machine isdriven at the required speed, the residual magnetic flux in therotor will induce a small e.m.f. in the stator winding. Thesuitable capacitor bank causes this induced voltage to con-tinue to increase until an equilibrium state is attained, whichis due to magnetic saturation of the machine. Fig.2 (b), showsthe circuit model of SEIMWPG, in which it has been designed as the mutual inductance of the winding is made as variablewith respect to the variation of rotor speed. It can be varied as, if the rotor speed is above the normal speed, the mutualinductance is made to reduce and if the rotor speed is belowthe normal speed, the mutual inductance is made to increase;these arrangements are required to maintain the generationoutput and to meet the rated voltages.

It follows that the above equations representing, Ldq
