JEE_V9_N2_RP2 Effect Of Resonance on the Performance Of Single phase Two Winding Self Excited Induction Generator M. Rizwan Khan M. Faisal Khan Journal on Electrical Engineering 2230 – 7176 9 2 8 15 Resonance, Self Excited Induction Generator, Series Compensation, RL Load, MATLAB Due to an inherently poor voltage regulation, the Self Excited Induction Generators (SEIGs) are incapable of supplying RL loads. One way of improving their voltage regulation is by series capacitance compensation. However, as the steady state load-ability limit of a compensated SEIG is increased, it is more likely to experience resonance due to change in either inductive loading or frequency or both. In this paper, a detailed analysis of resonating behavior of a single phase, two winding SEIG is carried out. The effects of resonance on the performance of SEIG are evaluated through performance characteristics obtained at the loads of different power factors. A steady state model of series compensated single phase, double winding SEIG is developed through MATLAB M file. The optimum excitation and compensation capacitances are selected by performing experimental tests on a 1 phase, double winding, 220/230 V SEIG.
