 Abstract:

This paper discusses the voltage regulation of a self-excited and self-regulated autonomous induction generator (AIG) with various operating modes and varying loads. The generator excitation is provided by a three-phase capacitor bank. The Excitation of the asynchronous generator with capacitor bank enables it to generate rated voltage with and without load. A detailed simulation analysis for different performances including loading and unloading characteristics of the self-excited induction generator is also presented in the paper.
