Controlled power transfer from wind driven reluctance generator

The paper describes the dynamic performance of a wind-driven reluctance generator connected to an electric power network of large capacity. A controller that makes possible the regular flow of power to the network has been considered. Controller parameters that successfully suppress unwanted mechanical and electrical stresses and overshoots due to wind gusts, have been estimated. The performance of the controller has also been examined for short-circuit faults at the terminals of the generators.
