Abstract

Doubly Fed Induction Machines (DFIM) have many industrial applications and are also used as Wind Power generators. The brushes, necessary to supply energy to the rotor, are the main drawback of these machines. Therefore there are interest on Brushless Doubly Fed Induction Machines (BDFIM). The Doubly Fed Cascaded Induction Machine (DFCIM) can be used as a starting point in the study of the BDFIM. Moreover, the DFCIM can also find itself useful applications due to its simpler construction, compared to BDFIM. The present paper will expose the theory of steady state operation of the DFCIM. Operating points, power flow, simulations and experimental results will be presented.
