The transient and qualitative performance of a self-excited single-phase induction generator

The modeling and transient performance of a single-phase induction generator with series or parallel connected load is the theme of this paper. The system of equations are expressed in terms of flux linkages and includes the effect of magnetizing flux linkage saturation. Generator self-excitation and voltage collapse phenomena are simulated. The balance of the paper deals with the qualitative behavior of the generator using concepts of harmonic balance and system bifurcation.<
