Major methods of steady-state analysis of three-phase SEIGs - A summary

Through an elaborate survey of the papers published so far, a summary of three major methods of performance analysis of Self-Excited Induction Generators (SEIGs) has been presented. Among the various methods, the optimization approach has been shown to be the best in handling the variation in the generator and load parameters. The comparative study presented herein would be useful for any researcher as a starting platform, for further investigations in this field of wind energy electric conversion systems.
