Investigation of skew effect on the Performance of Self - Excited Induction Generators

Abstract

This paper presents the investigation of skew effects on the performance of three phase, 2.2 kW 220/380 volt 4 poles self -excited induction generators (SEIG) with skewed squirrel cage rotor. Analysis of excitation capacitor of the SEIG based on a steady -state equivalent circuit model including rotor skew effect is given. Skewed rotor with angle of 00 , 5 0, and 10 I for the SEIG are employed.Testing and performance comparison under dynamic and steady -state operation with resistive and resistiveinductive loads have been performed. Results can be guidelines for development of effective wind induction generators.

Investigation on the performance between standard and high efficiency induction machines operating as self-excited induction generators feeding the non-linear loads

“…B. Sawetsakulanond et. al [17] proposed the investigation of skew effect on the performance of selfexcited induction generators. However, Effect of nonlinear loads for the type of the SEIG was not on mentioned in these papers.…”
