Abstract
This paper presents a technique for evaluating the optimal values of capacitances necessary to maintain the power quality of voltage regulation of the short-shunt self-excited induction generator (SEIG) feeding to the desired pu load under various lagging power factor conditions. The optimal values of shunt and series capacitances, and the optimal relation of ratio of air gap voltage to frequency with magnetizing reactance for the minimum voltage regulation of SEIG are evaluated by using the technique of genetic algorithm (GA) based on the equivalent circuit parameters of machine. Experimental results of 0.75 kW, short-shunt SEIG are performed to confirm the effectiveness of this proposed technique. The results are experimentally verified, which illustrate that the voltage regulations of SEIG under different inductive loads are within the limit of ± 0.06 pu.
