A Novel and Comprehensive Performance Analysis of a Single-Phase Two-Winding Self-Excited Induction Generator

A single-phase induction motor operating as a self-excited induction generator

“…A steady-state model of the SPSEIG which was used for simulation is based on double revolving field theory and two-phase symmetrical components method -the elliptic field in the machine's airgap is decomposed into two waves progressing in opposite directions: a forward and backward revolving field, each associated with an induction machine equivalent circuit [9,10]. The equivalent circuit of considered generator is given in Figure 1 and is similar to the equivalent circuit of the single-phase induction motor, where the load impedance Z LM replaces supply voltage.…”

“…0 = ⋅ t sf Z I (1) Since I sf cannot be zero under steady-state self-excitation, the resonance conditions are derived by equating real and imaginary parts of total impedance of the equivalent circuit, Z t , to zero [10]. Those equations yield unknown values of X m and F for given rotor speed v and load impedance Z LM which can be evaluated using Matlab software.…”

A comprehensive MATLAB — GUI based performance evaluation of three winding single phase SEIG

“…Self excited induction generators (SEIG) are the promising solution for single phase power generation using renewable energy [1]. There are certain capacitor connected topologies available in the literature for three phase induction machine (both delta and star) to operate as single phase SEIG.…”

Development of low cost single phase self excited wind generator using three phase machine

“…Considering the abundance of wind, plenty of wind generation techniques have been proposed in the past years. These techniques mostly involve three phase [1]- [5] and single phase induction machines [6]- [10]. The conventional three-phase self excited induction generators need high amount of the reactive power for its operation [3]- [4].…”

“…Three phase induction generators need higher amount of reactive power and all its three phases are burdened with the reactive current component. Single phase self excited schemes are also proposed in literature [6]- [10] and different control schemes are also presented [8], [9]. However, a single phase induction machine is found to be costly for a similar three phase low wattage machine to be used for off grid generation.…”
