Induction generators are generally simulated by means of a well-known model
described by Brereton et al. [1], based on the induction motor equations d
erived by Stanley [2]. In this model the possibility of opening the rotor c
ircuit in order to inject a voltage source is not taken into account, altho
ugh there are other models where it is dealt with [3]. This paper presents
an alternative way of obtaining the mentioned model and introduces the poss
ibility of modeling voltage sources in the rotor circuit, which can be very
useful when simulating some generating schemes, such as variable speed asy
nchronous wind turbines. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved
