Introducton Wndy area, waterfall, reeror, hgh tde locaton are extremely helpful for generatng clean and economcal electrcal energy by proper harneng mechanm. Throughout the globe n lat three to four decade generaton of electrcty out of thee renewable ource ha created wde nteret. Growng nteret n water management and utanable enronment toward a utanable world ha awaken new ource of hydro energy. Among thee are the run-of-rer plant to produce electrcty ung nducton generator. The nducton generator elf exctaton phenomena reewed n [1]. The bruhle contructon, robutne, low mantenance requrement, abence of DC power upply for feld exctaton, mall ze, elf protecton agant hort crcut are the adantage of aynchronou generator oer the ynchronou and DC generator. The relately poor oltage and frequency regulaton and low power factor are t weaknee [1]. The frequency and magntude of oltage generated by the elf excted nducton generator (SEIG) completely goerned by the rotor peed, the exctaton and the load []. There ext mnmum and maxmum capactance for the elf exctaton to occur.e., oltage buld up at a partcular peed. Alo t requre a mnmum cut n peed for ucceful oltage buld up and t ha a maxmum peed lmt conderng mechancal afety for a fxed exctaton capactance [3-4]. The effect of dynamc mutual nductance on oltage buld up proce of SEIG ued n [5]. The applcaton of power emconductor dece, controlled conerter crcut, and control algorthm ha reulted n utable regulatng cheme for elf excted arable peed qurrel cage generator. From the electrcty company tandpont, accurate control of oltage and frequency can lmt the electrcal and mechancal tree n the power ytem and deler good qualty energy. Already many crcut are propoed to control the output oltage and/or frequency [6,7,8]. Dynamc performance of SEIG feedng dfferent tatc load ued n [9]. Contant oltage operaton ung optmzaton tool ued n [1]. The aboe paper dd not menton the effect of peed, exctaton capactance, mutual nductance on dynamc power araton and frequency of power exchange and lne oltage. Th paper explot the poble way to generate electrcal power by analyzng the machne at loaded and ared peed condton to extract the nformaton regardng dynamc acte power, reacte power and torque araton. The ablty of a contant oltage and arable frequency generaton cheme analyzed. Expermental reult are preented. A wnd peed tattcal n nature, th cheme could be extended to a arable peed, contant oltage and arable frequency wnd energy coneron ytem..

6. Concluon Th paper ue the operaton of an nducton machne under tandalone generatng mode and a generatng cheme for contant oltage and arable frequency by a proportonal gan control technque. A laboratory tet performed where the nducton machne controlled a a elf excted nducton generator. The dynamc analy of a elf excted nducton generator done and the effect of rotor peed and exctaton capactance obered. From the mulaton and expermentaton, t confrmed that a the capactance ncreaed at a partcular peed, oltage buld up fater and the magntude of oltage ncreae due to aalablty of more VAR. But frequency reman contant. A the peed ncreae at a fxed capactance, both magntude and frequency of generated oltage ncreae. The capacte current lmted to a alue le than the current ratng of the nducton generator. The effect of ncreaed peed and hgher capactance on dynamc reacte power araton, oltage and frequency of output oltage alo obered. The output oltage controlled to ge a contant oltage by a mple calar lnk oltage control cheme. The frequency of the current can be controlled by aryng the error gan of the rete PI controller. The PWM VSC between generator and lnk alo controlled a a tatc VAr compenator to prode VAR to the nducton generator. [6] Mutafa A.
