Title: Induction motor for wind turbine
Post by: Uros on April 09, 2005, 02:36:26 PM

Is it smart to use induction motor as generator for returning energy into grid?

How will blades react when wind tends to spin them much faster then synchronous speed of induction motor?

Is it good to rewind motor for two speeds and use electronics to switch speed depending of wind speed?

Motor is 1,1 kW and has 48 slots on stator.What's better: to rewind it for one phase(max 24 poles,speed 250rpm) or for three phase (max 16 poles,speed 375rpm).
