Steady-state analysis of an isolated self-excited induction generator supplying an induction motor load

This paper presents steady-state analysis of a stand-alone 3-phase self-excited induction generator supplying a 3-phase induction motor. The induction motor is driving a load with a specified speed-torque characteristics. The steady-state equivalent circuits of both machines are connected in tandem and analyzed using the node-admittance method. The techniques of this paper may be utilized to determine the optimum combination of the generator, motor, mechanical load and excitation capacitance for optimum performance and utilization efficiency
