Abstract

Three-phase Self-Excited Induction Generators (SEIGs) are commonly employed for electricity generation in remote or isolated areas. SEIGs are preferred in such regions due to their ability to create a magnetic field by adding a capacitor to one of their terminals. Nevertheless, a significant challenge in utilizing SEIGs is maintaining a consistent output voltage in the presence of load fluctuations. This study aims to investigate the impact of generator rotation on the SEIG's output voltage and determine the optimal rotation speed required for achieving a stable output voltage. Ensuring stable voltage regulation is crucial to guarantee the proper functioning of all loads connected to the SEIG. Furthermore, operating the SEIG in parallel with other generators is advantageous. The methodology employed in this study involves varying the load supplied by the SEIG at different capacitor values. Unwanted voltage variations occur due to load fluctuations within a generating system or SEIG. Adjustments to the generator's rotation speed are made to uphold a uniform voltage level. The variables considered in this study include the generator's rotation speed, capacitor size, and load fluctuations. Simulation results demonstrate that the SEIG's output voltage is affected by the generator's rotation speed, and maintaining a consistent voltage necessitates appropriate adjustments to capacitor values and generator speed. This research enhances understanding of SEIG characteristics and offers guidance on effective settings for maintaining a stable output voltage at various generator rotation speeds. Future research can focus on practically implementing these findings to enhance the performance of SEIGs in real-world applications
