A new approach for the analysis of three phase self-excited induction generators

This paper presents a new approach for the steady state analysis of three phase self-excited induction generator. The problem is formulated to obtain the performance of the generator by a simple iteration scheme with the help of the machine equivalent circuit. The proposed method is essentially suitable for education as it avoids the long and tedious analytical derivation of several equations, as is the case of most of the reported methods of analysis.
