Dynamic validated model of a DFIG wind turbine
This paper presents the development and qualitative validation of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine model that is represented in terms of behaviour equations of each of the subsystems, mainly the turbine rotor, the drive train, the induction generator, the power converters and associated control systems and a protection system. Simulation results obtained from the models are ...

Shift speed control in CVT powertrain
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is associated with a need to solve the problem of the selection of drive train ratio in the vehicle. For the case of a considerable range of the drive train ratio the power delivered to the driven wheels is affected by the mechanical inertia of the rotating mass associated with the crankshaft. The theoretical considerations in this paper as well as the ...
