Magnetization-Dependent Core-Loss Model in a Three-Phase Self-Excited Induction Generator

摘要

Steady-state, transient, as well as dynamic analyses of self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) are generally well-documented. However, in most of the documented studies, core losses have been neglected or inaccurately modeled. This paper is concerned with the accurate modeling of core losses in SEIG analysis. The core loss is presented as a function related to the level of saturation. This relation is determined experimentally and integrated into a nonlinear model of the SEIG. The nonlinear model is solved using a mathematical optimization scheme to obtain the performance parameters of the SEIG. A new set of curves describing accurate behavior of the SEIG parameters is produced and presented in this paper. The computed parameters of the model are validated experimentally, and the agreement attained demonstrates the functionality and accuracy of the proposed core-loss model.
