Defining a Double-Fed Induction Generator

Note: Refer to Analysis Approach for a Doubly Fed Induction Generator for general information on this machine type.

The general procedure for defining a Double-Fed Induction Generator is as follows:

  1. Insert a Double-Fed Induction Generator into a new or existing project by choosing Generate RMxprt Solutions for the Design Flow, General for the Machine Type, then select Double-Fed Induction Generator from the expandable list.

  2. Click the Machine entry in the Project Manager tree to set the machine properties as shown:

  3. Click to expand the Machine > Stator entry in the project tree to define data for the stator and its associated core and core slot, winding, and optionally, vent for the SLOT_AC core type.
  4. Click to expand the Machine > Rotor entry in the project tree to define data for the rotor and its associated core and core slot, winding, and optionally, vent for the SLOT_AC core type.
  5. Click the Machine > Shaft entry in the project tree to define the magnetism, frictional and windage losses, and reference speed of the shaft.

  6. Optionally, right-click the Machine entry in the project tree and click Insert Housing to add a machine housing.

  7. Right-click Analysis in the project tree, and click Add Solution Setup to define the solution data, where Operation Type is set to Wind Generator.

  8. Choose File > Save to save the project.
  9. Choose RMxprt > Analyze to analyze the design.

Once analyzed, the model can be used to create a new Maxwell 2D or 3D design.
