Abstract

Monitoring the condition of doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) is growing in importance for Wind Turbines. This study presents the results of a comparison of DFIG steady state stator line current and instantaneous power when used as a means for generator condition monitoring, based on an examination of their frequency spectrum. For the purpose of this work, a detailed analytical model that makes it possible to simulate DFIG operation under a range of supply and winding balanced/unbalanced operating conditions, was developed. Additionally, a purpose-designed DFIG test rig was built to facilitate the experimental validation of model results. The faulty machine current and power spectra are compared using experimental and model results.
