Dynamic performances of an isolated self-excited induction generator under various loading conditions

This paper presents dynamic performances of an isolated self-excited induction generator (SEIG) under different power-factor loading conditions. Both simulated results based on computer simulations and experimental tests based on a laboratory 1.1 kW induction motor driven by a DC motor are clearly compared. Characteristics of both terminal voltage and magnetizing reactance of the studied SEIG subject to sudden connection and disconnection of various power-factor loads are investigated.
