Abstract

This research paper presents a technique to regulate the output voltage of self-excited induction generators. The self-excited induction generators output terminals are normally equipped with parallel connected excitation capacitors. A mismatch occurs when the load on the SEIG changes and thereby creating voltage deregulation. This research paper presents the connection of a three-phase dummy load for voltage regulation purposes. The dummy loads are equipped with IGBT based switching for becoming on-load or off-load. Simulation of SEIG with the dummy load is presented.
