Abstract
The innovative renewable energy conversion system called “hybrid offshore-wind and tidal turbine power controller with bi-directional converter (HPB)” was proposed. The system was used to evaluate a tidal turbine (induction machine) with the ability to change the AC frequency reference to a bi-directional converter for optimal performance. The tidal power generation system consists of an induction generator/motor connected to a DC capacitor link through an insulated-gate bi-polar–transistor (IGBT) bi-directional converter. Using PWM control of the bi-directional converter, the speed of the rotating magnetic field (control by the AC voltage frequency) fed to the induction machine can be controlled. The generation power can be controlled quickly by only changing the frequency reference for the PWM converter.
