Analysis, Comparison, and Discussion of Control Strategies for Dual Stator-Winding Induction Generator DC Generating System

This paper presents four types of control strategies for a dual stator-winding induction generator DC generating system as well as their analysis, comparison, and discussion. These four types of control strategies include control-winding flux orientation control, control-winding voltage orientation control, control-winding direct power control, and instantaneous slip frequency control (ISFC). The ISFC strategy is described in detail for first employed in dc generating application, and the other strategies are briefly introduced and their performances are also summarized for comparison. The characteristics of control strategies are compared from four aspects: 1) system performance; 2) key components; 3) control principles; and 4) applications. From the comparison results, it can be inferred that all these four types of control strategies have some advantages, especially the ISFC. They can find suitable applications.
