of
the
drive, which
may
also
be
employed for power factor correction,
apart
from high dynamic performance drive control [A31, H36, H37, K17].
Even
though
this
type
of
drive shows very interesting characteristics,
the
amount
of
hardware
for
the
rotor
si de converter is considerable which is likely
to
limit
the
use
to
higher power
and
special applications, where
the
added
flexibility provided by two-axes control is
important.
One
prominent
area
of
application
is
that
of
generators
in
large wind power
stations
operating
on
the
constant
frequency gridj
the
variable speed
operation
uses
the
high-inertia
wind
rotor
effectively as a flywheel
in
gusty
wind conditions.
This
helps
to
smooth
the
power fluctuations
and
reduces
the
rating
of
the
generator
as well
as stresses
on
mechanical components such as
shaft
and
gears.
Another
ex-
ample
are
constant
frequency ship-
board
generators, driven
at
variable
speed
by
the
main
Diesel engine with its low fuel cost, so called shaft generators.
