LT-Spice Model for Induction Generators with Self-Excitation

Abstract

We are presenting an LT-Spice Model for 3-phase Induction Generators that are operating in off-grid mode using a 3-phase capacitor bank for self-excitation. To model the self-excitation, we include the effects of a non-linear magnetizing inductance with residual magnetic flux and saturation. Our model represents both the electrical as well as the mechanical characteristics of the machine.
