Abstract

A computer algorithm is explained in order to determine the performance of capacitor selfexcited induction generators (SEIG) taking the machine design details as the input data. The magnetisation characteristic which forms the basis of analysis is obtained using the B/H curve of the core material and by employing a curve-fitting technique. The predicted parameter and performance characteristics of a normal induction motor operating as SEIG are compared with corresponding experimental results. Effects of variation of realistic design parameters are studied to obtain guidelines on optimum design. Typical results on a range of normal induction machines are presented to assess their suitability as SEIG
