The focus of this paper is to study the asynchronous generator (generator of squirrel-cage induction), as an alternative distributed generation technology, in particular the driving of machines using methane gas from pig farms as their fuel. Pig farming has grown dramatically over recent years. This agroindustrial activity produces huge quantities of methane gas which is released into the atmosphere depleting the ozone layer, in addition to contributing to the greenhouse effect. When the subject is environmental concerns, methane is known to be many times more aggressive than carbon. Since the production of this gas is inherent to the pig farming industry, its effects can be mitigated by using it as fuel in an engine to drive an electricity generator, while adding value to the production chain.

Summary The aim of this study is the behavior of the squirrel‐cage induction generator in distributed generation operating under real working conditions (presence of harmonics and voltage and current imbalance) connected directly to the distribution network. In this case, the primary machine has methane gas from pig farming as fuel. In distributed generation, there are technical, operational, quality, and safety problems (accidental supply to the distribution network by generators or distribution branches). In this work, the objective is to study the behavior of the squirrel‐cage induction generator in the distributed generation, while operating in real operating conditions (presence of harmonics and voltage and current imbalance). In this way, the induction generator operates in unbalanced non‐sinusoidal steady‐state condition and a technical feasibility analysis when the generator loses the distribution network and does not require an islanding monitoring system due to demagnetization that occurs in the induction generator. The experimental tests are in steady state and with the squirrel‐cage induction generator entering the island. Thus, the computer simulation was divided into two stages, first in the steady state and after the island analysis of the induction generator.

This paper proposes a low cost single-phase gen erator system. This system consists of a three-phase squirrel cage induction machine used as single-phase generator with a Inverter � Shared-Leg Rectifier �� Steinmetz connection. A VSI (Voltage Source Inverter) with three lc legs is used to feed the generator and a controlled rectifier unit, wh ich injects generated energy to single-phase system. The three-phase squirrel ca ge induction machine is cheaper than + other machines for the same power range, and low maintenance E cost. The converter VSI with three legs is available in compact modules with integrated gate-driver with reduced price. Analysis, dynamic simulation and experimental results are presented for the proposed system.
