Abstract
This article proposes the use of a three-phase induction generator (IG), connected through a single-phase connection (Fukami configuration), to be used as a rotating exciter for synchronous generators. This proposal aims at presenting an alternative to replace the permanent magnet generators (PMGs) used in the rotating exciters for synchronous generators (SGs). In order to obtain the results, a six-pole IG and a four-pole SG were used, a DC motor (DCM) was employed as the primary machine, and the speed control for the aforementioned primary machine is presented and described in this work. To carry out performance tests of the rotating exciter with the IG and the terminal voltage control of the SG, a voltage controller was proposed. The performance of the voltage regulator was tested when the SG supplied a dynamic load, as established by the NEMA MG-1 standard. This article validates its proposal by comparing the results obtained through computational simulation and experimental testing of the SG terminal voltage waveform when faced with a sudden load change.
