Course information

Recent staggering progress and perspective of ever more wind energy penetration in power systems requires large wind generators systems with high energy yield for lower weight (larger Nm/Kg), lower losses (in %), lower Euro/KWh and Euro/KW(KVA) of installed power, for higher system stability/reliability – which is the topic of this course

Day 1: September 11, 2023

• A1: Transverse Flux wind  PMSG (3 MW,11 rpm) - optimal design case study - with FEM key validations (3 hours)
• A2. Cage Rotor Induction Generator(CRIG)-10 MW,10 rpm,10 Hz design case study, with FEM key validations (1.5 hours)
• A3. RelSyn Generator (RSG) -10 MW,10 rpm,15 Hz design case study, with FEM  key validations (1.5 hours)

Day 2: September 12, 2023

• A4. Bonded-NdFeB-spoke-PM-rotor SG-10MW,10 rpm,30 Hz design case study with FEM key validations (2 hours)
• B0. Fractional KVA rating PWM converter doubly fed variable speed electric generator systems (DFGs) design and control: an overview in 2020 (4 hours)

Day 3: September 13, 2023

• B1. DFIG with variable stator and rotor frequency with diode rectified output control for higher efficiency: a case study (1.5 hours)
• B2. DFIG with variable stator and rotor frequency and 3/6 phase trafo and diode rectified M(H)VDC output control for larger power at low speeds (1.5 hours)

Prerequisites: Fundamental knowledge of electromagnetic fields, electric motors and generators, electric drives, power electronics, voltage, current and power control.

Form of evaluation: Ten questions with synthetic answers (explanations), covering each of the 9 sections of the intensive course. The evaluation will take place at the end of the course, in the third day and will last 1 hour.
