Abstract :
This paper explains a method to calculate the capacitance value of a 3-Ø cage induction motor working as a generator in the self-excited mode of operation. The synchronous impedance test method has been reviewed. The capacitance value is determined from the manufacturer data. The effect of voltage variation with different capacitances has been evaluated at constant speed. Performance of self-excited asynchronous generator (SEASG) with the capacitance (calculated value) is evaluated experimentally. Simulation study of the SEASG is done using power system tool box in Mat Lab/Simulink.
