A review of design consideration for Doubly Fed Induction Generator based wind energy system

In the design of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG), the electrical, dielectric, magnetic, thermal, and mechanical considerations are essential in the design. The generator speed, rotor and stator windings, core, rotor slots, and the insulation system must also be considered for practical designs as wind turbines in the range of 2 MW. In this paper, the conflicting design requirements reconciled for the construction DFIGs with high reliability and efficiency in the wind farm applications.
