YingerSouthern California Edison,Rosemead, California 91770Traditional wind turbines are commonly equipped with induction generators because they are inexpensive, rugged, and require very little maintenance. Unfortunately, induction gene
3、rators require reactive power from the grid to operate，capacitor compensation is often used. Because the level of required reactive power varies with the output power, the capacitor compensation must be adjusted as the output power varies. The interactions among the wind turbine, the power network,
4、and the capacitor compensation are important aspects of wind generation that may result in self-excitation and higher harmonic content in the output current. This paper examines the factors that control these phenomena and gives some guidelines on how they can be controlled or eliminated.1Introducti
5、on Many of todays operating wind turbines have fixed speed induction generators that are very reliable, rugged, and low cost. During normal operation, an induction machine requires reactive power from the grid at all times. The most commonly used reactive power compensation is capacitor compensation
6、. It is static, low cost. Different sizes of capacitors are generally needed for different levels of generation.Although reactive power compensation can be beneficial to the overall operation of wind turbines, we should be sure the compensation is the proper size and provides proper control. Two imp

9、e network shown in Fig.3. Self-Excitation3.1 The Nature of Self-Excitation in an Induction Generator. Self-excitation is a result of the interactions among the induction generator, capacitor compensation, electrical load, and magnetic saturation. This section investigates the self-excitation process
10、 in an off-grid induction generator, knowing the limits and the boundaries of self-excitation operation will help us to either utilize or to avoid self-excitation.Fixed capacitors are the most commonly used method of reactive power compensation in a fixed-speed wind turbine. An induction generator a
11、lone cannot generate its own reactive power; it requires reactive power from the grid to operate normally, and the grid dictates the voltage and frequency of the induction generator.One potential problem arising from self-excitation is the safety aspect. Because the generator is still generating vol
12、tage, it may compromise the safety of the personnel inspecting or repairing the line or generator. Another potential problem is that the generators operating voltage and frequency may vary. Thus, if sensitive equipment is connected to the generator during self-excitation, that equipment may be damag
13、ed by over/under voltage and over/ under frequency operation. In spite of the disadvantages of operating the induction generator in self-excitation, some people use this mode for dynamic braking to help control the rotor speed during an emergency such as a grid loss condition. With the proper choice
14、 of capacitance and resistor load, self-excitation can be used to maintain the wind turbine at a safe operating speed during grid loss and mechanical brake malfunctions。3.2 Steady-State Representation. The steady-state analysis is important to understand the conditions required to sustain or to dimi

Figure 2 shows an equivalent circuit of a capacitor compensated induction generator. As mentioned above, self-excitation operation requires that the balance of both real and reactive power must be maintained. Equation （1）gives the total admittance of the system shown in Fig(2):+=0 （1）where= effective admittance representing the stator winding, the capacit
