This paper proposes a leaky minimal disturbance theory (LMDT) based decoupled control of voltage and frequency for two winding single-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) for enhanced power generation and power quality improvement. Single-phase two winding SEIGs are normally designed with 33% de-rated capacity in comparison to three phase SEIGs of same frame size. Using single-point operation performed by proposed Decoupled Voltage and Frequency Controller (DVFC), the two winding single phase machine can generate enhanced power output, nearly 33% higher than its normal capacity. It is equal to the power generated by three phase machine with the same frame size. The DVFC consists of a VSC (Voltage Source Converter) and a closed loop controlled dump load. A single-phase VSC is used for harmonics and fundamental reactive power compensation for system voltage control and harmonics mitigation. The control of VSC is achieved using LMDT based control algorithm. The minimal disturbance theory based control algorithm is used for potentially fast convergence and fast dynamic response whereas the leakage factor is added for improving the steady state performance of the system. The LMDT control based VSC-BESS (battery energy storage system) scheme is also implemented for voltage and frequency control of single phase SEIG. Both schemes are implemented in real time using a digital signal processor (DSP).Index Terms-single phase SEIG, power quality improvement, voltage and frequency control. 0278-0046 (c)
