Use of newton's method for rotor-resistance control of wind turbine generators

Abstract

The advancement in the use of renewable sources of electricity has been promoting the manufacture of wind turbines. This paper analyzes the influence of the insertion of resistance in the rotor of induction machines during voltage sags to improve its operation and presents a new approach. The control strategy uses the Newton’s Method, which is a numerical method. A simulation in a wind generator was realized, proving the control efficiency.
