Analysis of effects of prime mover speed and exciting capacitor value on output voltage of generator of self-excited squirrel cage induction generator

In this study, impedance model of the induction generator was used. Steady state self-excitation voltages were calculated, taking into account the rotor parameter variations with the frequency. The minimum value of capacitance were obtained to initiate self-excitation by simulation results. The effects of speed and exciting capacitor on output voltage were analyzed.
