Induction Generator Applications for Petroleum and Chemical Plants

A 13 900-hp 1200-r/min induction machine has been applied as a motor/generator in a compressor-expander string associated with a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) process. Power factor correction capacitors are connected at the terminals of the induction machine. The specific principles of application, as they apply to generator applications, of induction machines are reviewed. Mechanical design, overspeed, excitation, electrical and mechanical transients, and machine control are studied in detail.
