Application of induction generators in power systems
Abstract
The application of induction generators in power systems is discussed. The performance of induction generators as function of machine and system parameters and as function of var source control is evaluated and compared with that of synchronous generators. Results are presented so as to allow identification of system conditions favoring the application of induction generators and to estimate var source requirements. Fundamentals of induction generator transient behavior and determinations of the effect of modeling detail are discussed. The importance of rotor flux transient effects in high efficiency (low slip) designs is determined. Although the thrust of the investigations was to explore application of large scale induction machines (500 to 1000 MVA) the range of parameters studied and their presentation in normalized form allows the reslts to be applicable to all sizes of machines.
