The paper discusses the different possible techniques to self excite the slip ring induction machine working as self excited induction generator. The generated voltage due to self excitation is initiated and sustained with constant value of power capacitors connected across the stator windings. Attention is focused on the influence of different techniques on generator voltage and output power c...

In this paper, Novel method, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, based technique is proposed to estimate and analyze the steady state performance of self-excited induction generator (SEIG). In this novel method the tedious job of deriving the complex coefficients of a polynomial equation and solving it, as in previous methods, is not required. By comparing the simulation results obtain...

In this paper, DQ-modeling approach for Transient State analysis in the time domain of the threephase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) with squirrel cage rotor is presented along with its operating performance evaluations. The three-phase SEIG is driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) such as a wind turbine for the clean alternative renewable energy in rural areas. Here the prime ...

Incentives, such as the Feed-in-tariff are expected to lead to continuous increase in the deployment of Small Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) in the distribution network. Self-Excited Induction Generators (SEIG) represent a significant segment of potential SSEG. The quality of SEIG output voltage magnitude and frequency is investigated in this paper to support the SEIG operation for different ...

This paper presents an analysis of the three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) with staticcompensator {STATCOM) as a voltage regulator. Current controlled voltage source inverter (CC-VSI) is used as STATCOM, which provides fast dynamic response to maintain constant voltage at SEIG terminals during severe load perturbations and acts as a source and sink of reactive power. The perform...

This paper presents the design of a low cost voltage controller of a single phase Self-Excited Induction Generator (SEIG). The control scheme is based on the measurement of users load voltage and controlling the dump load power using an Analogue Input Power Controller (AIPC). The controller output varies from 2 -10V and it controls the output AC power going to a resistive dump load. A PI type c...

A squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM) when aggregated with relevant capacitances and a prime mover, acts as self-excited generator (SEIG). As it hosts energy conversion the parameters of SCIM have considerable impact on power extraction capability SEIG. An aspect which is missing from available research SEIGs evaluation affects its rotor’s moment inertia (J) per-phase stator winding resistan...

Steady state analysis of a 3-φ SEIG is generally done through mathematical modeling of its equivalent circuit. The impedance model can be reduced in terms of two nonlinear simultaneous equations consisting of unspecified variables as magnetizing reactance Xm and generated frequency F. The steady state performance analysis of SEIG becomes uncomplicated once the values of Xm and F are explicitly ...
