A novel wind-power generating system using field orientation controlled doubly-excited brushless reluctance machine

A novel variable-speed constant-frequency wind power generating system using a doubly-excited brushless reluctance machine is proposed. A field orientation control method is proposed to track the optimal torque-speed profile of the wind turbine and to realize flexible reactive power control. The proposed wind power generating system has the potentials of high efficiency, good flexibility, and low cost.<<ETX>>
