✓ THE STATOR IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE FIXED GRID SYSTEM WHEREAS THE ROTOR IS
CONNCETED BY USING BACK-BACK CONVERTERS
✓ THE DFIG IS WORKS ON TWO CONDITION
✓ IF GENERATOR ROTATE SUPER-SYNCHRONOUSLY (i.e. NR SPEED IS GREATER THAN NS SPEED
) THEN THE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DELIVERED TO THE GRID BY STATOR AS WELL AS ROTOR
✓ IF GENERATOR IS ROTATES SUB-SYNCHRONOUSLY (i.e. NR SPEED IS LESS THAN NS SPEED )
THEN THE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DELIVERED TO THE ROTOR FROM THE GRID
✓ THE GENERATING VOLTAGE IS 690VOLT THEN IT MUST BE REQUIRED TO STEP UP UPTO 33
KV SO USED STEPUP TRANSFORMER

80) DESCRIBE THE FEATURES OF SOLID, LIQUID AND GAS BIOMASSES AS FUEL FOR BIOMASS POWER
PLANT.

SOLID BIOMASS FUEL :-

ASH IS HIGH
LOW THERMAL EFFICIENCY
LOW CALOREFIC VALUE
REQUIRE LESS EXCESS AIR
COST OF HANDLING IS HIGH

LIQUIED BIOMASS FUEL

NO ASH IS PRODUCED
HIGH CALORIFIC VALUE
IGNITE EASILY
FIRIGN OF CONTROLLED EASILY

GASEOUS BIOMASS FUEL

NO ASH IS PRODUCED
HIGH CALORIFIC VALUE
IGNITE EASILY
FIRIGN OF CONTROLLED EASILY
