6 FAQs about [Wind power squirrel cage asynchronous generator excitation]

Can squirrel cage induction generator be used in small scale wind generating systems?

In spite of availability of modern generators, Squirrel Cage Induction Generator (SCIG) as a micro grid component may still be a promising generator in small scale wind generating systems. However, reactive power demand for excitation is a big challenge for the smooth functioning of SCIG.

Can a self-excited squirrel cage induction machine operate in grid connected mode?

This paper presents the controller design of a wind energy conversion system built around a self-excited squirrel cage induction machine that can be operated in both standalone and grid connected modes. The control scheme regulates the machine terminal voltage in the standalone mode and the grid side reactive power in the grid connected mode.

What is self excited squirrel cage induction generator (Seig)?

This fast development has attracted many researchers and electrical engineers to work on this field. Self excited squirrel cage induction generator (SEIG), which uses an excitation capacitor, is used widely to convert mechanical wind energy to electricity, due to their low cost, small size, no need of separate dc source and brushes.

What is a self excited stand-alone induction generator?

A small self- excited stand-alone induction generator is likely found in remote areas where extension of grid is not economically viable. A grid connected induction generator is also one of the most attractive machine where wind energy is used to convert into electricity feeding back to the utility.

How to keep terminal voltage of a self-excited induction generator constant?
