In this paper, genetic algorithm-based technique is proposed to estimate and analyze the steady-state performance of a self-excited induction generator (SEIG). The study reveals that the performance of the SEIG is greatly influenced by the operating speed, load, and excitation capacitance. This provides an opportunity for the proper handling of these parameters so as to obtain the required performance characteristics. In this paper, a new technique is proposed to identify these parameters to achieve constant voltage constant frequency operation for SEIG. Theoretical results as obtained have been compared with experimental results and found to be in close agreement.Index Terms-Genetic algorithm (GA), self-excited induction generator (SEIG), wind energy generation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
