A simulation based algorithm for SEIG as an isolated power source for wind mills

This paper proposes an algorithm to predict the performance characteristics of self-excited induction generator (SEIG) and also predict for the capacitance requirement of SEIG as a function of speed which yields minimum value of capacitance for a required speed. as the induction generator are used widely in nonconventional energy systems for its advantages over synchronous generators like cost and size, self protection on overloads, short circuits, brushless construction, ruggedness.
