Power control strategy for grid connected permanent magnet synchronous generator of a distributed generation unit
This paper describes the studies on the operation and control of a variable speed wave energy conversion system. The wave energy conversion system considered is oscillating–water–column (OWC) based Wells turbine driven permanent magnet synchronous generator connected to the grid by means of fully controlled frequency converter. In such systems primary aim is to achieve a low distortion, high ...

A new microturbine-based dispersed generation scheme
Almost all of the commercial microturbine-based dispersed generation systems today are composed of a high-speed permanent-magnet alternator and a diode rectifier-PWM inverter pair. A dispersed generation scheme made up of a microturbine, an induction generator, and a diode rectifier-PWM inverter pair is introduced in this paper. A complete model for the self-excited squirrel-cage induction ...
