Abstract — In the paper computational models of an
induction self-excited generator are presented. Circuit
models taking into consideration nonlinearity of the
magnetic circuit enable calculations of the generator static
characteristic at an autonomic operation. The field-circuit
model using Maxwell 2D software allows determination of
time curves of any electrical variable in different conditions
of the generator operation. There are presented basic
determined static characteristics using both models and
time curves of currents, voltages, torque during self
excitation and under symmetrical load and one-phase short
circuit, in cooperation with a rectifier system and during
connection of the excited generator to network.
Keywords — induction generator; squirrel cage motor;

consideration iron losses. For the considered induction
machine the parameters of the equivalent circuit diagram
were determined using the RMxprt Maxwell software.
The data of the induction motor are the following: rated
power 7,5 kW; rated voltage 380 VAC; rated rotational
speed 965 rpm; winding connection delta. On the basis of
the circuit calculations characteristics Xm(Im) and values of
other parameters of the equivalent circuit were
determined; they are :

I. INTRODUCTION
Both squirrel-cage and slip-ring machines are used as
wind generators. Squirrel-cage induction machines are
used especially in smaller wind power plants mainly due
their greater reliability nevertheless their worse control
characteristics. They require to use condensers (Fig. 1)
and existence of residual magnetism for their excitation.
At autonomic operation the generated voltage frequency
depends on rotational speed and load what is the essential
disadvantage of the induction squirrel-cage generators. In
order to assure constant frequency additional powerelectronics equipment with conversion are used, for
example AC-DC-AC. Many publications [1-7; 9] discuss
problems related to features of the induction generators at
autonomic operation and cooperation with a network.

In the equivalent circuit diagram fr means relative
frequency - frequency of the stator voltage in comparison
with the rated frequency of the motor.
The prepared algorithm enables by use of Mathcad
software for determination of static characteristics taking
into consideration non-linearity of magnetization
characteristics determination of characteristics at a
constant rotational speed or constant frequency of voltage
at the load [5].
The relative frequency may be determined by
comparison of the zero real part of the equivalent
impedance seen from terminals of the magnetizing
reactance to Re(Z z ) = 0 . The stationary working point is
calculated by comparison of the imaginary part of the
equivalent impedance to the magnetizing reactance:
Im(Z z ) = f r X m .

A. Self-excitation of the generator
In Fig. 3 there are presented results of calculations of
line voltage and phase current time curves at constant
rotational speed n = 1040 rpm, during self-excitation of
the loaded generator. In order to make possible the
generator self-excitation during digital calculations nonzero initial conditions (current) in one of phase windings
were set.

III. FIELD-CIRCUIT CALCULATIONS
In the field-circuit calculations the Maxwell software
with Transient solver was used. Using this software it is
possible to determine various transient states of the
generator at autonomic operation at symmetric and nonsymmetric loads and also at cooperation with rectifiers. It
is also possible to make calculations for various nonsymmetric states. In 2-dimensional calculations there were
taken into consideration the resistance of the stator and
leakage inductances of the stator and rotor, determined
using RMxprt, the same as in the circuit calculations. The
software does not take iron losses into consideration.

In Fig. 4 curves for transient state (a generator with
resistance load and separate operation) are presented at
discrete change of the rotational speed from n = 1040 rpm
to n = 1140 rpm. There were presented the torque, phase
current and line voltage time curves. In the stationary state
preceding voltage frequency change was of 49.74 Hz and
after the speed change it increased to f = 54.42 Hz.
C. Transient state at single-phase short circuit.
For the presented field-circuit model it may be
performed calculations for an unsymmetrical load. In Fig.
5 there are presented results of calculations
(electromagnetic torque, phase currents, terminal voltages)
for the following conditions of the generator operation:
constant rotational speed n = 1040 rpm; symmetrical load
by receiver resistance Ro=30 Ω and next single-phase
short circuit of the receiver. As a result of the
unsymmetrical short circuit large pulsating component
arises in the torque time curve.

IV. STATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GENERATOR
Static characteristics of the generator may be
determined on the basis of above calculated parameters of
the equivalent circuit diagram and on the basis of the
field-circuit calculations for stationary operational
conditions. In Fig. 10 there are presented external
characteristics U = f(I) determined using both above
mentioned methods for two values of capacitors at the
constant rotational speed n = 1040 rpm and resistance
load.
On the basis of the circuit calculations it is easy to
determine static characteristics at a constant frequency
what is more troublesome for the field-circuit calculations
and it requires repeated time-consuming recalculations.
Comparing the determined static characteristics using
both methods it may be noticed slight differences
between them. It influences accuracy of the equivalent
circuit diagram parameter determination using the circuit
method and stability of these parameters, however from
practical point of view it should be used for initial
determination of capacitors and generator windings circuit
calculations. The circuit calculations give greater
variability of voltage at generator terminals.

of various transient states types and analysis of results

systems.
