This paper presents a simple and generalized steady state model and analysis of six-phase self-excited induction generators. The developed matrix equation is formulated using nodal admittance method based on inspection. This model does not involve any lengthy derivations of nonlinear equations which are followed so far. Also this model is flexible such that inclusion or elimination of any equivalent circuit elements can be carried out easily. Moreover, this model can be used to find any combination of unknown quantities of the equivalent circuit. To determine the steady state performance of six-phase self-excited induction generators, applications of genetic algorithms have been proposed. In addition, the details of winding scheme of the six-phase induction generator which is used as prototype model for the experimental study is also presented. The experimental and theoretical results are found to be in close agreement, which validates the proposed method.

The intercooled gas turbine obtained by adopting an indirect heat exchanger into an existing gas turbine is one of the candidates for developing high-power marine power units. To simplify such a strong coupled nonlinear system reasonably, the feasibility and availability of qualifying equivalent effectiveness as the only parameter to evaluate the intercooler behavior are investigated. Regarding equivalent effectiveness as an additional degree of freedom, the steady state model of a marine intercooled gas turbine is developed and its off-design performance is analyzed. With comprehensive considerations given to various phase missions of ships, operational flexibility, mechanical constraints, and thermal constraints, the operating curve of the intercooled gas turbine is optimized based on graphical method in three-dimensional performance space. The resulting operating curve revealed that the control strategy at the steady state conditions for the intercooled gas turbine should be variable cycle control. The necessity of integration optimization design for gas turbine and intercooler is indicated and the modeling and analysis method developed in this paper should be beneficial to it.

This paper deals with the computation of the performance characteristics of the single-phase self-excited induction generator by field–circuit method. It presents and compares previously unpublished results—self-excitation and no-load characteristics of the generator for different rotor speeds, and complete load steady-state performance characteristics for various types of the core materials. The discrepancies between the performance characteristics of the generator for the catalog’s magnetization curves of different types of electrical sheets and for an actual magnetic core of the generator for self-excitation transients and load steady-state are presented. The results may be useful for designing new constructions of single-phase self-excited induction generators.

This article presents the steady-state modeling and analysis of a grid-connected six-phase induction generator for renewable energy generation powered by hydro turbine. The basis of the analysis is nodal admittance method as applied to the equivalent circuit, and used to analyze the behavior of the machine for the operating mode such as (i) when only one three-phase winding set is connected to grid, (ii) when one three-phase winding set is connected to grid and other three-phase winding set is subjected to load, and (iii) when both the three-phase winding sets are connected to grid through an interconnecting Y-/Y six-phase to three-phase transformer. Nodal admittance based matrix equations are easier to modify in order to account for mutual leakage coupling between two three-phase winding sets, core loss component, and make the analysis very easy, fast and accurate. Through analytical and practical studies, it is shown that machine can feed direct, reliable, and low cost power to grid without interface network. The analytical results are found to be in good agreement with experimental results.
