Abstract

The dynamic performance of an isolated three-phase squirrel cage self-excited induction generator (SEIG) in a Pico Hydro Power Plant (PHPP) is examined in this work. The investigation is carried out with the help of MATLAB/Simulink for mathematical modeling and simulation of the proposed system under various operational situations. The SEIG model, which was created using the steady-state equivalent circuit approach, included the electrical, magnetic, and mechanical components of the SEIG and PHPP. The dynamic behavior of the SEIG is explored under a variety of operating situations. The effects of load variations, speed fluctuations, and other disturbances on the voltage and frequency of the generator are examined. The experiment results were used to validate the simulation results. This research has implications for the design and optimization of PHPP using SEIGs.

Keywords: Pico hydro power plant, Self-excited induction generator, Dynamic performance.
