This work presents a theoretical and experimental study of the self-excited three-phase induction generator in steady state, operating with a synchronous generator for use in isolated generation. Through the remoteness of many locations or because of the absence of an energy distribution network, difficulties exist in the supply of electric energy. The proposal contemplated herein can be applied in order to provide a well-adjusted voltage and reduce project costs in the expansion and implementation of isolated systems. That is, when taking into consideration acquisition costs of the asynchronous squirrel cage rotor machine in relation to the synchronous generator. The main contribution of this study is the making of the synchronous generator into a voltage regulator of the isolated system, in such a manner that the synchronous generator supplies the minimum of active power necessary, where a lower power generator is able to play the role of being the sole voltage regulator.

This paper presents an analysis of the oscillations caused by unbalanced loads in salient pole synchronous generators that operate in isolation under steady state. The oscillatory disturbances, arising from the second-order harmonics, may have or have the potential to cause electromechanical damage to the salient pole synchronous generator. In this paper, the goal is to identify and quantify the magnitude of the electromagnetic torque, which assumes an oscillatory form due to the current component from the negative sequence, caused by unbalanced currents. The self-same analysis was included for second-harmonic voltage oscillations in the qd0 domain, the currents induced on the damper windings together with the oscillation of the load angle and on the field current. These oscillations situated on the synchronous generator are analyzed for a degree of voltage unbalance close to 2% which is an acceptable value according to international regulations for power supply from distribution networks, and this same degree of tolerated voltage unbalance will be used herein for isolated synchronous generators.
