Study of Three-phase Self-excited Induction Generator Operating as Single-phase Induction Generator Supplying Non-linear Load

Abstract

This paper presents the operating study of three- phase to single-phase for a self-excited induction generator (SEIG). The Simulation model is analyzed by using Matlab/Simulink for explaining behavior or effect of this model, when the SEIG supplies power to loads under various conditions such as startup, dynamic response, steady state, on load, linear load and non-linear load. The study proposes appropriate capacitor for building up voltage. From the study, it is found that additional reactive power supplied to the load system is needed for maintaining terminal voltage.
