Load Test Comparative Performance Analysis Of An Induction Generator With A Synchronous Generator

An induction generator works on the principle of induction to produce power. Asynchronous generator operates by turning the rotors mechanically much faster than its synchronous speed. A normal Induction motor can be used as a generator, without any internal design modifications. This paper presents a comparative performance study of a self-excited three phase induction generator with a synchronous generator. The rotor of induction generator was driven by using an induction motor, which acts as prime mover. Three phase delta connected capacitors was connected along the stator winding of the induction generator. The output voltage, output current, speed and frequency was recorded under load conditions. Similarly the rotor of the synchronous generator was driven by using an induction motor, which acts as prime mover. The field winding was excited using DC supply. The output voltage, output current, speed and frequency was recorded under load conditions. A comparative study was made between both the generators.
