Sažetak
This paper presents a new rotor flux estimation method for sensorless vector controlled squirrel- cage inductiongenerators used in wind power applications. The proposed method is based on a phase-locked loop (PLL) and theorthogonality between the rotor flux space vector and its back electromotive force (EMF) space vector. Rotor flux isestimated using stator voltage equations without integrating the back EMF components in the stationary referenceframe and the well-known difficulties with the implementation of pure integrators are thus avoided. Moreover, theproposed method ensures successful magnetization of a speed- sensorless squirrel-cage induction generator at nonzerospeeds which makes it suitable for wind power applications. Experimental results on a 560 kW squirrel-cageinduction generator are presented to confirm the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed method.
