Abstract
A new strategy for controlling voltage and frequency of a self excited induction generator (SEIG) is presented. The SEIG operates in the linear region of the core magnetizing curve, so that efficiency and performance are upgraded. An external excitation circuit, comprising permanently connected capacitors and electronically switched inductances is used. The external circuit allows to compensate for the generator reactive demand. A detailed analysis is performed, showing some salient aspects related to the connection of the external excitation circuit on the control performance. Asynchronous switching is used, but some important considerations must be taken into account related to the instantaneous phase angle between stator voltage and external inductor current at the switching instant, if good transient response is desired. Sliding mode controllers are proposed, showing good dynamic response and robust behavior upon changes in load and generator parameters. Computer simulations are used to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.Keywords
