Wind-driven permanent magnet alternators having appreciable inductance: Some aspects of steady-state behaviour and control

Abstract: An earlier analysis (de Paor1) is extended by the inclusion of leakage inductance in the alternator. The load resistance for optimal steady-state power transfer now becomes, up to a certain point, a double-valued function of mill angular velocity, and beyond that it increases linearly. In the latter range the inductive reactance prevents the mill from delivering the maximum power of which it is aerodynamically capable. Consideration of a simple scheme in which the load resistance is fixed reveals the possibility of hysteretic jumps in the curve of angular velocity versus windspeed. A criterion for the existence of this behaviour is established for a particular model of wind turbine dynamics.
