Voltage and frequency regulation induction generator employing AC-AC converter

Abstract

One of potential problem in induction generator is voltage and frequency instability. Induction generators (IG) can experience voltage and frequency fluctuations due to changes in the load. This paper presents a control strategy for voltage and frequency regulation of an induction generator using an electronic load controller (ELC). Three-phase AC-AC converter is employed as an ELC. The control system is designed to ensure the steady-state and transient stability of the IG under various operating conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is demonstrated through simulation. MATLAB/Simulink software is utilized to analyze and verified the proposed control method. The simulation results show that it can provide accurate voltage and frequency regulation while maintaining stable operation of the IG. The proposed approach offers a promising solution for IG applications in renewable energy systems, where precise control of voltage and frequency is crucial for efficient and reliable power generation
