Abstract :
This paper analyzes the performance of a three-phase induction generator which is connected to a single-phase power system. Significant improvement in machine performance can be obtained by using a single static phase-converter, provided that the machine is driven in the reverse direction. If two phase-converters, are employed, perfect phase balance can be obtained at any desired value of slip. The theoretical analysis is validated by experiments on a 2-kW test machine
