Produce 2.5MW Power in wind is calculated as follows:


Sample Calculation

p = 0.95 r = 43m v = 12m/s µc = 0.59

P = [½(0.95)[∏x(43)²](12)³]x0.59=2.8MW


What is a Wind Farm?

An area of land with a group of energy-producing windmills or wind turbines

Doubly fed Induction Generator (DFIG)


What is a DFIG? DFIGs are inductions machines that feed

AC currents out of both the stator and the rotor.

They are mostly 3 phase wound-rotor induction machines.

Singly Fed Induction Generators (SFIG) output AC currents on the stator windings


Advantages of DFIGs over SFIDs Amplitude and frequency of output voltage can be kept

constant regardless of shaft speeds.

This makes DFIGs ideal for grid coupling as they can remain continuously in sync.

The sync speed of this synchronous generator can be varied

by simply altering the frequency of the AC current that is fed into the rotor windings.

Power factor can also be controlled in DFIG machines

DFIGs are ideal for use in Wind Turbines for the above reasons.


Relationship between frequency and generator speed in SFIGs can be expressed as follows:


The DFIG functions in a similar but different way.


Unlike the magnetic field in the stator windings of SFIGs, DFIGs have a none static magnetic field created across the rotor.

This field also rotates at a speed proportional to the frequency of the current fed into the rotor windings .

This magnetic field rotation can either be clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the rotation of the prime mover.


Conclusion The technology for DFIGs had been

available for a long time.

The growth of the wind industry has provided a platform for greater heights to be reached.

Applications stretch from the old 1.5MW generator to the most recent multi-MW turbines in industry today
