<p>This paper presents the performance behavior of a multi-phase induction generator operating in six-phase mode. An experimental analysis has been done to determine operating characteristics of the six-phase machine to illustrate the advantageous features of the machine as compared to its three phase counterpart. The machine is configured to operate as a standalone power source in conjunction with a DC prime mover. The multi-phase machine can operate with one three phase capacitor bank which does not lead to complete shutdown of the system during fault conditions across one of its two sets of its stator windings. In the analysis the machine is connected to different capacitor configuration and the influence of these connections on the machine performance during no load and load have been implemented. Experimental results include voltage build up of the machine with different excitation capacitors at both sets of stator windings with changing speed during no load condition, resistive load condition and resistive inductive load condition with simple shunt and short shunt configuration.</p>

The present paper is concerned with the application of the equations of a saturated smooth air-gap machine to the analysis of the transient behavior of a multi-phase (six-phase) self-excited induction generator (SEIG). In the analytical model (d-q axis model), the effects of common mutual leakage inductance between the two three-phase winding sets have been included. A detailed experimental investigation of self-excitation process, loss of excitation and re-excitation, switching-in of pure resistive load without, and with series compensation (short shunt) is also included in this paper.

The paper discussed the design of low cost inverter using SG3525A IC and IRF3205 MOSFET in H-Bridge configuration. The implementation of the real construction involved the use of IC SG3525A for generation of output pulses; the totem pole arrangement of transistors was used in the driver section of the inverter to boost signals as well as switching purposes. The H-bridge configuration was employed to effectively switch the four MOSFETs, this switching produced an alternating potential of 220V. Pre-set conditions such as load condition, low battery cut, overcharge cut and constant output were set at 1700W, 10V, 13.3V and 220V respectively so as to ensure effective and long lasting usage of the inverter. The battery used for the operation of the inverter was 12V maintenance free battery in order to reduce the cost of using the inverter. The various tests carried out on this inverter were tests on inductive loads, resistive loads, home appliances, overload condition, low battery and charging control. The aim of this work is to achieve inverter design analysis under resistive loads and inductive loads for efficient power usage at lowest possible cost. This was achieved by connecting various resistive and inductive loads on the inverter. The results show that the system can operate under both the resistive and inductive loads but operates better under resistive loads, the reason for this is that inductive loads always draw large currents during start-ups which always result to power losses. Graphs were plotted and analyzed; the results also showed that this inverter can take up to 1700W of resistive load and inductive load of 1020W. The inverter produced no humming sound from inductive loads and home appliances such as fan, television, refrigerator e.t.c that were within its maximum capacity of 1700W.

Abstract The purpose of the paper is the investigation of possibility of utilization of a single-phase induction machine, designed and normally operating as a single-phase capacitor induction motor, as a self-excited single-phase induction generator, which can be used to generate electrical energy from non-conventional energy sources. The paper presents dq model of the self-excited single-phase induction generator for dynamic characteristics simulation and steady-state model based on double revolving field theory with two phase symmetrical components - a forward and backward revolving field for performance of the generator under resistive load. Excitation and load characteristics obtained by simulation showed considerable influence of method of capacitor configuration in the load stator winding on terminal voltage, current and output power of the generator under load. An specific construction of the stator windings together with capacitor requirements to obtain nominal output power at desired self-regulating terminal voltage over the operating range will be the aim of further research.

The generated power of multipole induction generator with secondary winding on the statorThis paper posses the construction of induction generator, which has the ability to operate at a low rotation speed. This generator can be applied for directly driven turbine without using the gearbox. The generator is multi pole with all of the windings placed on the stator. Rotor is tooth-like and has no windings on it. Primary winding is three phase, secondary winding is two phase.
