Investigation on the behavior and harmonic voltage distortion of terminal voltage regulation by static var compensators for a three phase self-exited induction generator

This paper proposes the investigation on the behavior and harmonic voltage distortion of terminal voltage regulation by static var compensators for three phase, 2.2 kW, 220/380 V, 8.7/5 A, 4-poles, self-exited induction generators (SEIG). Consideration of capacitance for the SEIG based on equivalent circuit model under steady - state load conditions and a power flow diagram is given. Two types of a Fixed capacitor, Thyristor controlled reactor (FCTCR) static var compensator are used for terminal voltage regulation. Comparative performance of the SEIG and harmonic voltage distortion under dynamic and steady-state operation with pure resistive is given. Research results can be guidelines for the development of effective wind induction generators for electricity generation system.
