A New Control Method of Three-Phase Self Excited Induction Generator Feeding Single-Phase Load by using Static Var Compensator

Abstract

This paper aims to propose a new control method for balancing and voltage regulation of a three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) feeding single-phase load. The proposed control method is based on the continuous adjustment of the values of the excitation capacitors connected to the phases of the SEIG by employing a Static Var Compensator (SVC). The dynamic model of the SEIG and the SVC is established by using the d-q transformation. The simulation results show that the proposed control method permits to balance the SEIG as well as to feed the single-phase load with the desired voltage.
