Doubly-fed Induction Motor DFIM for Wind Turbine Application with Crowbar Using SSN

This demo implements an 8 kVA doubly-fed induction generator for a wind-turbine connected to a grid circuit.

The DFIM is modeled using snubber-free SSN induction machine models and the back-to-back inverters are modeled with SSN Inlined Voltage Inverter Compensated (IVIC) inverters.

Crowbar circuit: using SSN, a crowbar circuit consisting of 6 diodes, a switch and a resistor has been included in the demo. The crowbar uses SSN iterative diodes.

This is an updated ADDRIVE-07 model with SSN IVIC inverter and added crowbar.
