Abstract :
Dependency of the output voltage and frequency of the isolated self-excited induction generator on the speed, load, and terminal capacitance causes certain limitations on its performance. In this study, the performance of the induction generator under a wide range of operating conditions is examined. It is found that the machine operates only in certain element ranges and that all generated currents and voltages are bounded. It is also shown that a combination of these elements exists that is optimal for maximum power generation
