Abstract:

A new type of single-phase stand-alone induction generator using a three-phase induction machine and a single-phase voltage-source PWM inverter is introduced. The generator scheme is capable of producing constant load frequency with a very well regulated output voltage. A small lead acid battery and a single-phase full diode-bridge rectifier are used to feed the inverter. The inverter feeds one of the stator phases. During the generator voltage build up, the inverter supplies the battery first and after a while a diode-bridge rectifier, which is fed by the generator, replaces it. The system steady state and dynamic equations are derived and are solved to obtain the performance characteristics of the generator scheme. A digital simulation study is carried out for a 2.2 KW threephase induction machine. The simulated results obtained confirm that this generator can achieve an output power of about 0.6 pu.

Single-Phase Autonomous Induction Generator with Single-Phase Rotor

An autonomous induction generator (IG) with an asymmetric configuration, in which both the stator and the rotor are single-phase, is often formed when a triple-phase wound rotor loses connection to a winding component while running. The machine still works and is shown to be capable of generating modulated waveforms. Equations can help as an IG design guideline. The first harmonics of the mutua...

Single Phase Cascaded Multilevel Inverter Using Multicarrier Pwm Technique

This paper deals with Single Phase Five level Inverter using Multi Carrier Based Pulse width modulation Technique. The voltage quality of conventional two level inverter is poor due the presence of harmonics and hence produces power loss which reduces the efficiency of the system. The multilevel inverter is used to improve the voltage quality by reducing the harmonics, as the number of voltage ...
