Emulation of an Isolated Induction Generator under Unbalanced Conditions

Abstract

The induction generator is an essential element of many renewable energy systems, such as wind power plants. The advantages of using induction machines (IMs) compared to other types of machines are well-known and discussed extensively in the literature. In isolated power systems, the self-excited induction generator (SEIG) is commonly used to feed power in remote areas. In this paper, a power electronic converter based SEIG emulator is developed using dSPACE to investigate the SEIG operation under unbalanced conditions. The induction generator (IG) model considering the saturation effect and variable stator/rotor leakage split ratio is established, and used in the SEIG emulator. The SEIG system under unbalanced condition is then simulated based on Matlab/Simulink. Furthermore, experimental results based on a real SEIG are presented to verify the developed machine emulator.
