A Self-Excited Six-Phase Induction Generator for Stand-Alone Renewable Energy Generation

摘要

Results of an experimental investigation dealing with the behavior of a split wound six-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) with capacitor excitation in conjunction to a stand-alone small hydro power scheme is presented. As predicted, the scheme is found offering high reliability, improved capability of voltage build-up and load withstanding along with acceptable efficiency. Results obtained show that the system has sufficient capability for practical use in stand-alone power generation with small hydro.
