Simulation of Wind Turbine Driven Autonomous Squirrel Cage Induction Generators

Due to increased emphasis on renewable resources, the development of suitable isolated power generators driven by energy sources such as wind, small hydro-electric, biogas, etc. have recently assumed greater significance. The capacitor self-excited squirrel cage induction generator has emerged as a suitable candidate of isolated electrical power sources. In this paper such a system is studied both by means of laboratory tests and by simulation.
