Prospects for Increasing the Dynamic Efficiency of Asynchronous Double-Feed Machines and Wind Power Generators Using Structural Methods and Solutions
The chapter proposes to consider the problems of control of asynchronous machines with dual power supply, as a nonlinear structure, the transfer functions of which depend on the frequency of the stator voltage and the relative slip. The authors cite the results of research confirming the high efficiency of control of asynchronous electric motors, using cross-dynamic connections on the developed torque or a signal close to it (active component of the motor stator current). The proposed correction operates in a wide range of changes in the rotation and sliding speeds of the asynchronous electric generator. This is especially important for wind turbines that need to remain efficient at different speeds. As a justification, the results of experiments, modeling and industrial application of control algorithms with positive torque coupling are presented. Research results suggest that such algorithms will improve the efficiency of wind power by 5–10%.

Experimental Studies of Asynchronous Electric Drives with “Stepwise” Changes in the Active Load
The article offers the results of experimental studies of asynchronous electric 10 motors with “squirrel cage” rotor with frequency control. The results of bench tests of the modes of parrying stepwise changes in the load created by a similar frequency-controlled electric drive are presented. A preliminary qualitative analysis of the known control methods is carried out and it is shown that the assumptions made when creating their algorithms in the modes of countering the load become too significant. The reasons for this are the fundamental inaccuracies of the vector equations of asynchronous electric motors with frequency regulation. The proposed interpretation of asynchronous electric motors by nonlinear continuous transfer functions, outlined in the articles written by the same authors earlier, and the corrections they proposed turned out to be more accurate for the operating modes under consideration than the traditional methods of interpretation and correction of the frequency control of asynchronous electric motors This made it possible to assess as objectively as possible the effectiveness of the interpretation of asynchronous electric drives and methods of their regulation. Numerous articles on this topic over the past 25–30 years have not provided such results.
