  2. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

    Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), a generating principle widely used in wind turbines. It is based on an induction generator with a multiphase wound rotor and a multiphase slip ring assembly with brushes for access to the rotor windings. It is possible to avoid the multiphase slip ring assembly, but there are problems with efficiency, cost ...

  3. Low voltage ride through - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_voltage_ride_through

    The effect is more pronounced in doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG), [3] which have two sets of powered magnetic windings, than in squirrel-cage induction generators which have only one. Synchronous generators may slip and become unstable, if the voltage of the stator winding goes below a certain threshold.

  4. Wound rotor motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_rotor_motor

    The speed and torque characteristics of a wound-rotor motor can be adjusted by changing the external resistance, unlike a squirrel cage motor which has a fixed characteristic. This is useful for speed control of the motor. [1] A wound-rotor motor can be used in several forms of adjustable-speed drive. Common applications include hoists and ...

  5. Variable speed wind turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_wind_turbine

    A fully rated converter can either be an induction generator or a permanent magnet generator. Unlike the DFIG, the FRC can employ a squirrel cage rotor in the generator; an example of this is the Siemens SWT 3.6-107, which is termed the industry workhorse. [7] An example of a permanent magnet generator is the Siemens SWT-2.3-113. [8]

  6. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    The characteristic function is a way to describe a random variable X.The characteristic function, = ⁡ [],a function of t, determines the behavior and properties of the probability distribution of X.

  7. Data fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_fusion

    The DFIG model (Level 0–5) explored the implications of situation awareness, user refinement, and mission management. [3] Despite these shortcomings, the JDL/DFIG models are useful for visualizing the data fusion process, facilitating discussion and common understanding, [ 4 ] and important for systems-level information fusion design.

  8. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current–voltage...

    These characteristics are also known as I–V curves, referring to the standard symbols for current and voltage. In electronic components with more than two terminals, such as vacuum tubes and transistors, the current–voltage relationship at one pair of terminals may depend on the current or voltage on a third terminal. This is usually ...

  9. Permanent magnet synchronous generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_magnet...

    A permanent magnet synchronous generator is a generator where the excitation field is provided by a permanent magnet instead of a coil. The term synchronous refers here to the fact that the rotor and magnetic field rotate with the same speed, because the magnetic field is generated through a shaft-mounted permanent magnet mechanism, and current is induced into the stationary armature.
