    This paper presents an inrush current reduction method for a 1/2 HP (0.4 kW), 220 V, 4.8 A, 4 poles single phase split-phase type induction generator when connected to a grid using single-phase voltage control with power electronic equipment. A study and analysis of relationship between voltage, current and real power by laboratory tests under direct on line and soft connection conditions are given. Simulation and experimental results are in good agreement. According to testing results, it is found that the proposed voltage control is able to reduce 75-80 % of the inrush current when starting the connection. Research results will be guidelines in applications of effective single-phase induction generators for wind energy.

    This paper proposes power factor improvement and inrush current reduction of a 1/2 HP, 220 V, 4.8 A, 4 poles single-phase grid connected split phase induction generator by connecting a capacitor for reactive compensation and a single-phase ac voltage controller for reducing inrush current during starting of the grid connected induction generator. Analysis and comparison of generator performance between calculation with an equivalent circuit and testing in a laboratory are given. Simulation of the generator operation during starting of connection with the power system using MATLAB/Simulink is also included. From testing results, it is found that the capacitor can improve power factor but it causes an increase in harmonic currents. Soft starting of the grid connected generator with the ac voltage controller offers a reduction in the peak inrush current with 75-80% of the peak inrush current with direct on line start. The simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink are in good agreement with testing and theoretical results. The research results are guidelines for single-phase grid induction generator applications in effective electricity production.
