Abstract

This paper presents the design and performance evaluation of induction generator controller in the micro-hydro system. The IGC consists of the two units: first, the power electronic switch triac and second, the control circuit to control the firing angle of the triac. The lab fabricated IGC´s performance is evaluated using the voltage regulation and the power distribution in case of change in system load.
