Abstract

A permanent-magnet induction generator (PMIG) is a special induction machine self-excited from the inside of the squirrel-cage rotor by a permanent-magnet (PM) rotor. The PMIG can be made to operate as a stand-alone generator when the squirrel-cage rotor is driven by an external prime mover. Moreover, if the capacitors are connected across the stator terminals, adjusting their values can control the output voltage. This paper presents a method for predicting the steady-state performance of such a stand-alone PMIG theoretically. By introducing the per-unit system, a nonlinear equivalent circuit, which can include the variation of the circuit parameters, is derived. Based on this equivalent circuit, the steady-state performance is theoretically calculated, and its validity is confirmed through experiments.
