Modeling and Eigenvalue Analysis of a Small-Scale Standalone Wind Energy Conversion System Based on Current-Source Inverter
Mehrdad Kazerani
In this seminar, a small-scale standalone wind energy conversion system composed of a squirrel-cage induction generator, a buck converter, a current-source inverter, and a novel storage integration scheme is presented. The mathematical non-linear model of the system is developed and verified by simulation. A linearized model of the system is developed around an operating point, and open-loop stability, controllability, and observability of the system are investigated. A reduced-order model of the linearized model is obtained based on direct deletion and DC-gain matching techniques. The dynamic and steady-state performances of the reduced-order models, obtained based on the two order-reduction techniques, are evaluated with respect to the original model.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
