This paper presents a simplified approach to analyse the operational performance of a three phase Self-Excited Induction Generator (Cage type) under varying magnetizing component. SEIG are widely used in wind- mills due to many advantages, such as robustness, mechanical simplicity and low price but suffers from poor voltage regulation. However, the need of external capacitance to provide required reactive power is a major limitation particularly in standalone mode [1, 2] Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of capacitance very precisely for practical importance. The proposed method is experimentally tested for a 3.7 kW induction generator.

Single-phase induction generator is very suitable to be used in the typical loads which only need a single-phase power supply with small power capacity requirement, such as diesel engine, picohydro or small wind plant. It has some advantages such as rugged, effective cost, maintenance free and require no external excitation. However, it has inductive characteristic which makes poor voltage regulation. This paper proposed a shunt reactive compensator called SVC-MERS which can provide a variable reactive power to maintain the generator voltage despite of load variations. The experiment was conducted on single-phase two winding induction generator coupled by a three-phase induction motor which serves as the prime mover. SVC-MERS and the load are connected in shunt to the main winding, while the excitation capacitor was connected to the auxiliary winding. The experimental results showed that SVC-MERS can improve voltage regulation and substantially enhanced steady state loading limit.

Main Challenge

Abstract Research on Self –excited induction generator (SEIG) brings a lot of attentions in the last three decades as a promising solution in distributed generation systems with low cost investment. There are two important fixations to attend in the operation of SEIG based systems, a) excitation and b) voltage regulation. Many procedures are reported regarding selection of excitation capacitance in the literature, based on state-state analysis, dynamic modeling, empirical formulas and machine parameters which involve various levels of complexity in findings. Moreover, the voltage regulation is the main challenge in implementation of SEIG based isolated systems. To address this problem, many power electronic-based schemes are proposed in the literature and but these solutions have few demerits importantly that additional cost of equipment and troubles due to failure of protection schemes. In particular, the installation of SEIG takes place at small scale in kW range in remote/rural communities which should not face such shortcomings. Further in case of off-grid systems, the maximum loading is fixed based on connected rating of the generator. This paper presents the various methods to find excitation capacitance and illustrates an experimental investigation on different possible reactive power compensation methods of delta connected SEIG and aimed to identify a simple method for terminal voltage control without power electronics. In this experimental work, the prime-mover of the generator is a constant speed turbine, which is the emulation of a micro/pico hydro turbine. From the results, it is found that a simple delta connected excitation and delta configured reactive power compensation limits voltage regulation within ±6% while maintaining the frequency of ±1%, which make feasible of the operation successfully in remote electrification systems.

Generating System

Self-Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) offers many advantages such as low cost, simplicity, robust construction, self-protection against faults and maintenance free in today's renewable energy industry. However, the SEIG demands an external supply of reactive power to maintain the constant terminal voltage under the varying loading conditions, which limits the application of SEIG as a standalone power generator. The regulation of speed and voltage does not result in a satisfactory improvement although several studies have been emphasized on this topic in the past. To improve the performance of the SEIG system in isolated areas and to regulate the terminal voltage STATic COMpensator (STATCOM) has been modelled and developed in this dissertation. The STATCOM consists of AC inductors, a DC bus capacitor and solid-state self-commutating devices. The ratings of these components are quite important for designing and controlling of STATCOM to maintain the constant terminal voltage. The proposed generating system is modelled and simulated in MATLAB along with Simulink and sim power system block set toolboxes. The simulated results are presented to demonstrate the capability of an isolated power generating system for feeding three-phase resistive loads.

Power Quality Conditioner

This paper presents the new control algorithm for three-phase, four-wire distributing system using unified power quality conditioner (UPQC). The UPQC, a combination of series and shunt active filter (AF) with common dc link, is one of the best solution towards the compensation of voltage sag, swell problems and also compensate voltage flicker/imbalance, reactive power, negative sequence current and maintain zero voltage regulation (ZVR) at the point of common coupling (PCC) on distribution system. The series AF is seen by using a three-phase, three leg voltage source inverter (VSI) and the shunt AF is of a three-phase, four leg voltage source inverter (VSI). The proposed model of the UPQC is developed in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the simulation results prove the power quality improvement in the system.

Induction generator operation requires reactive power with external contactor. One of induction generator types, SEIG reactive power supplied by capacitor bank connected to generator terminal. SEIG is alternative energy conversion in small area or rural, SEIG has the main disadvantage of poor voltage regulation under various load conditions. ELC combine PID control which is optimized using Genetic Algorithm in order to maintain the stability of the voltage when the load varies.

This paper proposes a solution for the direct connection of a three-phase induction generator to a single-phase feeder. This high power quality system is intended to be used in micro-hydro power plants applications with control of the water flow. It is employed to maintain the speed of the induction generator greater than its synchronous value. The difference between the generated power and the power consumed by the local load flows through the single-phase feeder. The power flow control is provided by a three-phase PWM inverter that additionally guarantees the local power quality. A system with good power quality must have sinusoidal and constant amplitude voltages, fixed frequency operation, balanced induction generator voltages and currents, harmonics and reactive power compensation. The paper describes the inverter control strategy, presents design criteria of the controllers, and shows experimental results.
