Induction machines are simple, robust, low cost and widely available in the market.

But when
induction machine operate as a generator voltage and frequency cannot stay regulated during
load variation. If we regulate the voltage and frequency of squirrel cage induction generator, it
can supply sufficient power of to the load. Starting method is also solved using DC battery. This
DC battery changed to AC using inverter and supplied to VFC then to IG. The open loop vector
mode operation of VFC provides constant V/f ratio except at low speed to keep the flux constant
under varying load conditions.

Other problem of induction generator is reactive power consumption. This problem can be
addressed using a capacitor. the optimal capacitor value should keep the voltage regulated by
selecting from saturated zone of magnetizing curve. To find magnetizing reactance and
frequency deferent techniques exist such as GA, Newton Raphson, etc. the steady state analysis
of induction machine will be carried out. Simulation and experimental result will be done. The
main concern of this design will be cost not efficiency due to rural area economically not fit.

After doing this the power capability of the machine must be improved and the hybrid generation
way also examined in coordination with solar pv panels to supply in more reliable way during
water shortage time.
