Abstract

Induction generators, like induction motors, have a disadvantage in that a voltage drop occurs due to a high current during starting. Induction generators are often connected to the ends of distribution lines. When the induction generator is started and connected to the distribution line through the generated transformer, a voltage drop occurs in the distribution line as well as the transformer terminals. When an induction generator is applied to a hydroelectric power plant, it is necessary to accurately consider substations, distribution lines, loads, transformers for generators, and induction generators to know whether the voltage drop allowed by the system is satisfied.BRIn this paper, we analyzed the application of induction generators with accurate data on substations, underground and overhead distribution lines, customer loads, transformers, and generators for power plants currently installed and operating in Korea. As a result of the analysis, the voltage drop was high in the premises of the power plant, but the voltage drop was low in the distribution line, confirming that it is possible to apply the induction generator to the distribution line.
