Transient analysis of self-excited induction generator supplying dynamic load

This paper deals with the transient analysis of the Self-Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) feeding an induction motor (IM) load. Here, transient perf ormance of the SEIG-IM system has been investigated to assess suitability o f the SEIG to sudden switchings, such as starting of the IM. To predict the response of the system, quasi-stationary d-q axes model of the polyphase i nduction machine has been used. Transient response of the system has been p resented for different operating conditions, and sample experimental result s are given to validate the predicted ones. Useful guidelines for the desig n and operation of an SEIG-IM system Sor an isolated application, such as a n IM-driven irrigation pump, have been suggested.
