Abstract

This paper proposes an analytical dynamic model for series connected induction generator (SCIG) and investigates the experimental performance of SCIG and compares it with an ordinary induction generator (IG) at standalone operating mode. After introducing the structure of series connected induction generator and its different modes of performance, a suitable dynamic model is proposed for this machine. The results of experimental investigations indicate that series connected induction generator and ordinary induction generator have some similar behaviors. But, SCIG has higher speed range without any need to gearbox and capability of operating at higher voltage level. So it may be proposed as a new suitable candidate for wind power generation at regions with high-speed wind.
