Abstract:
The work in this paper had been motivated by the increased role of renewable source based energy generating systems in today's world of power deficit and increased complexity in power generation. Also, it gives a simulated platform to study the physical system before making it operational. This paper proposes a MATLAB simulink model of a stand-alone induction generator used in renewable source based power generation on load. Rotor and stator d-q axis current has been chosen as state variable in the mathematical model with an aim of developing a simple stand-alone induction generator simulink model. The proposed simulink model was then used to study the electrical and mechanical dynamics of the generator on varying the load across the machine also, the operating phenomenon is analyzed and the discussion is verified by referred papers. This paper also put forward the increased role played by induction generator in the field of stand-alone generation.
