Abstract

This paper—presents a new approach for analysing the steady-state performance of the isolated self-excited induction generator feeding R-L load using the conventional equivalent circuit of the machine. The approach is shown to be very efficient in analysing such systems under steady-state operation. Effects of various system parameters on the steady-state Performance have been studied. It is shown that the analysis can be used to predict the terminal capacitance required to maintain a constant terminal voltage. The presented .simulation results provide guidelines for optimum design of such systems.
