Improvements in the performance of self-excited induction generator through series compensation

Improvements in the performance of a three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) through series compensation are investigated. Both methods, namely short-shunt and long-shunt configurations, of capacitive series compensation for the SEIG are analysed and compared for the selection of capacitive elements. Computed results are compared with experimental results for resistive and inductive loads to verify the developed algorithm and design of such a system
