Modelling and Simulation of Bifurcated Winding Induction Generator using 3DEXPERIENCE

The rising demand for the use of non-conventional energy sources mandates new and improved approaches for wind energy conversion systems. Bifurcated winding induction machine (BWIG) is one such idea proved to be well-suited for wind power generation due to the constant frequency operation. This paper develops a complete mathematical and simulation model of BWIG machine using Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The equivalent diagram of the machine is developed and the electrical simulation model is developed with Dymola Behavioral Modeling platform. The machine is analysed for different operating conditions such as varying excitation voltages, varying operating speeds and load conditions.
