| Abstract |
The Slip Power Recovery Drive (SPRD) can be employed as a "Variable Speed, Constant Frequency" Generator in the exploitation of some renewable energies, like the Wind Energy, the Sea Wave Energy among others. The use of a thyristor bridge in the Slip Power Converter, just allows the control of the active power. The replacement of this thyristor bridge by a GTO converter with phase shift and PWM switching, allows the control of both the active and the reactive power within certain limits. This paper presents the synthesis of the active and reactive power controllers that may be used to control the SPRD in the above mentioned applications. |
