A novel method for steady state analysis of the three-phase self excited induction generators

A new method to evaluate the steady state performance of a three-phase self excited induction generator based on conductance minimization is proposed. Among the priorities of this method are the absence of convergence problem, flexibility and the ability to be augmented to RC loads and loads with compensation. Simple methods to find the frequency, magnetizing reactance and minimum required capacitance are proposed. Simulation results show the agreement of this method with other common methods.
