Abstract
This paper deals with a model to simulate the operating of an autonomous induction
generator. The model used is a diphase one obtained by the application of the Park transform. This
model permits, when adopting some simplifying hypothesis, to take account of the saturation
effect. This is achieved using a variable inductance function of the magnetising current. The non
linearity is then based on the approximation of the magnetising inductance with regards to the
current. In our case, we use a polynomial function, of 12th degree to perform it. This approach is
simple and very accurate. The developed model has been used to study the operating of an
induction machine when a capacitive bank is connected to the stator windings. The simulation
calculation was achieved using MATLAB®-SIMULINK® package. This paper presents transient
analysis of the self-excited induction generator. In order to simulate the voltage build-up process
and the dynamic behaviour of the machine, we first establish the machine's model based on a d-q
axis considering the machine’s saturation effect. Secondly, effect of excitation capacitors or load
imbalances on voltage build-up process is investigated. Simulations results for a 5.5 kW induction
generator are presented and discussed. Several experimentations are presented to validate
simulations and verify the effectiveness of the developed model.

1. INTRODUCTION
It is well known that induction machines may generate power if sufficient
excitation is provided [1, 2]. The squirrel induction machines are widely used in
the wind energy conversion in the case of isolated or faraway areas from grid
distribution [3, 4, 5]. Theses structures have a lot of advantages. They are robust,
need few maintenance and do not cost so much. When operating as an
autonomous generator, the induction machine has to be magnetised by an external
supply [6]. The simple way to achieve this consists in connecting its stator
windings to a capacitive bank in parallel to the load. Hence, for a given rotation
speed, the remaining magnetic flux yields a low electromotive force. Then when
the capacitances are well designed, the magnetising current through the capacitive
bank yields the built up of the electromotive force and its increase to an useful
value.
A lot of works dealt with the study of the autonomous induction generator.
They concerned the calculation of the required capacitance value or the
performances of the device using the equivalent monophase model [7, 9] taking
into account the saturation effect. These last twenty years, different authors use
models to study also the transient operating of the device [10, 13]. These models
take account of the non linearity of the magnetic material by different approaches
more or less accurate and easy to implement. Hence, in references [12] and [13], a
variable magnetising inductance, using the saturation degree function, permits to
the saturation phenomena to be taken into consideration. However, this method,
which is very accurate, needs the knowledge of the linear and saturated
components of the magnetising flux. Besides, others authors do not use the
approximation of the magnetising inductance but utilise determination techniques
of the parameters (voltage, current…) to achieve the study of the induction
generator [1, 14].
In our approach, the model used is a diphase one obtained by the application of
the Park transform. This model permits, when adopting some simplifying
hypothesis, to take account of the saturation effect. In this case, the non linearity
is based on the approximation of the magnetising inductance with regards to the
current. We use a polynomial function, of 12th degree [15, 16] to achieve this
approximation. This approach is simple and very accurate. In this case, we can
apply easily control methods in closed loop.

In this paper, the developed model is used to study the autonomous generator
running of an induction machine. First, we present the machine which has been
used as an experimental test bench. Then, we perform calculation as no load and
when the generator is loaded. For both cases, we compare the simulation results to
the experiment.

generator (SEIG).

To analyse the behaviour of the SEIG under several asymmetrical conditions, the
dynamic equations of generator must be established.
2.1 Induction machine model

The linear model of the induction machine is widely known and used. It yields
results relatively accurate when the operating point studied is not so far from the
conditions of the model parameter identification. This is often the case when the
motor operating, at rated voltage, is studied. As the air gap of induction machines
is generally narrow, the saturation effect is not negligible in this structure. So, to
improve the accuracy of simulation studies, especially when the voltage is
variable, the non linearity of the iron has to be taken into account in the machine
model.
This becomes a necessary condition to study an autonomous induction generator
because the linear model is not able to describe the behaviour of the system. Thus,
only approaches, which take account of the saturation effect, can be utilized. This
effect is not easy to yield with using three phase classical models. So, we usually
http://www.bepress.com/ijeeps/vol4/iss1/art1052 2
DOI: 10.2202/1553-779X.1052
adopt diphase approaches to take globally account of the magnetic non linearity.
This evidently supposes some simplifying hypotheses. Indeed, the induction is
considered homogenous in the whole structure. Moreover, the use of diphase
model supposes that the saturation effect is considered only on the first harmonics
and does not affect the sinusoidal behaviour of the variables.
In our approach, we adopt the diphase model of the induction machine expressed
in the stator frame. The classical electrical equations are written as follows:

magnetizing inductance Lm with respects to the magnetizing current im defined as:

2.2 Load model

The stator windings of the induction machine are connected to a star capacitive
bank connected in parallel to a resistive load. Hence, at no load, the diphase stator
voltages and currents are linked by the following expression:

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The developed model is used to study the autonomous generator running of an
induction machine. First, we present the machine which has been used as an
experimental test bench. Then, we perform calculation at no load and when the
generator is loaded. For both cases, we compare the simulation results to the
experiment.

3.1 The experimental machine

Experimental results were obtained from the implementation of the structure
presented in Fig.1. using an induction machine of 5.5 kW (table.1) manufactured
by CEN (Constructions Electriques -Nancy) (figure 4.). [16].

Then, from these data and the active power absorbed by the machine, one can
determine the evolution of the magnetising inductance in function of i0. The
obtained curve is drawn in figure 5-a. Lastly, to avoid the problem due to the
absence of experimental inductance values outside the magnetising current range
identification, we drawn a complementary part. This yield the evolution given in
figure 5-b.

The model introduced in the precedent paragraph has been used in the
MATLAB SIMULINK environment to study the performance of the autonomous

induction generator. The parameter of the model used are the ones of the
experimental machine when the magnetizing inductance is the one given above,
expressed by a proposed polynomial function. To simulate the remaining voltage,
we take a non low initial value for the phase voltages.
3.2.1. Voltage build-up process under balanced conditions

In order to validate the model of the induction generator, we study firstly the
built up process of the stator voltage when the rotor of the induction machine is
driven at 780 rpm under no-load conditions. The value of each self excitation is
fixed to 100 µF [16].

For the same conditions, the evolution of a phase voltage calculated and
measured is shown in the figure 7 (a and b respectively). We can notice the good
agreement between both curves. We can observe that the voltage value before the
DOI: 10.2202/1553-779X.1052
built-up is different for experimental test and for simulation. This is due to the
initial conditions. The voltage build-up process is due to remaining field in the
machine which can be different after every utilisation of the machine.
We show also the calculation results related to a phase current (Fig.8) and the
magnetizing current (Fig.9.)

Other tests have been performed. The first one studies the effect, on the phase
voltage, when the generator is loaded. In the figure 10a and b we show the
simulated and measured evolution of a phase voltage respectively when the
generator is connected to a resistive load of 50 : per phase.

Once more, the results are in good agreement. The connection of the load yields
a decrease of the phase voltage magnitude and a low variation of its frequency.
Lastly, tests have been carried out to determine the evolutions of the phase
voltage with regards to the capacitance, the speed rotation and the load values.
Hence, for two capacitance values 100 µF and 110 µF, we drawn the curves V(R)
for 3 values of the rotation speed (720, 750 and 780 rpm).
In figure 11a and b, we give the simulation and experimental results
respectively when the capacitance value is 100 µF. Figures 12a and b give the
same evolutions for a capacitance of 110 µF.

As we could expect, the magnitude of the phase voltage is an increasing

function of both the capacitance and the speed rotation values. Furthermore, when
the generator is highly loaded, the magnitude voltage decreases quickly. This well
known characteristic, and problem, of the autonomous induction generator when
connected to a simple capacitance bank in parallel.
We drawn the evolution of the phase voltage with regards to the current (Fig.13,
Fig14, Fig.15.) for three rotation speed values (780, 750 and 720 rpm) and two
different values of capacitance (100µF, 110µF).

As we note, more the capacitance value increases and more the induction machine
provides a constant voltage for a load current. We will find the same results for
the two other speed values N. The curves have all the same shape of hook. We
can add that more the rotor speed increases and more the stator voltage is high.
Finally, all the curves are in the shape of hook. The higher capacity is the more
one has a good behavior in voltage for a higher current. It will be necessary to
choose the excitation capacity adapted for a given use of the induction machine.
3.4. Sudden disconnection of one capacitor

We suddenly disconnected one of the excitation capacitors (C=100 PF), the
corresponding simulated transient results are shown respectively on figures 16a, b
and c. This test shows the good accuracy of the machine and the load model.

Naturally the transient behaviour of the SEIG will depend on the resulting
remaining equivalent excitation capacitor. In fact, if the initial values of the
capacitors are high, the voltage will not fall down under sudden disconnection of

one capacitor. It will drops a little during transient and then return to a new
steady-state operation point. The line current variation (Fig.17.) is similar to the
one of voltage (Fig.16.).

3.7. Influence of an unbalanced load.

The aim of this test is to show the resistive load unbalance effect on the behaviour
of the stator voltages and currents. The resistive load parameters are Ra=Rb=50 ,
Rc=80 and each excitation capacitors is equal to 100 µF. The obtained results
are presented respectively on figures 22 and 23.

The influence on stator voltage is negligible while the chosen load imbalance
induces a consequent variation of the peak current value.
4. CONCLUSION
The paper examines the dynamic performances of an autonomous induction
generator, taking the saturation effects into account, by the means of a variable
magnetising inductance, has been presented. This magnetising inductance is
expressed, using a polynomial function, of degree 12, as a function of the
magnetising current. The proposed model has been used, in a MATLAB
SIMULINK simulation environment to study an induction machine in
autonomous generator operating.

Obtained results of the SEIG under voltage build-up process, balanced or

unbalanced network load side conditions are presented and compared. Excessive
conditions like disconnection of one self-excitation capacitor or sudden
disconnection of the load are also analysed.
The analysis presented is validated by experimental results. The comparison of
all these results shows a very good agreement between the experimentation and
simulation. The amplitudes of the signals, their shapes as their duration present
practically the same values for both simulation and experimentation. The
coherence between computed and measured results is very good as well for
dynamic conditions as for steady state. This concordance between the
experimentation and simulation confirms the validity of the developed model.
