Single-Phase Power Generation Using Three-Phase Self-Excited Synchronous Reluctance Generator

Abstract This paper presents the single-phase power generation using a three-phase synchronous reluctance generator (SyRG) for a standalone diesel generator (DG) set based standalone supply system. A static compensator (STATCOM) is used for voltage control, harmonics reduction and load balancing on SyRG. The proposed system consists of a SyRG, a variable frequency drive of an induction motor used as a prototype of diesel engine (DE), a STATCOM and single-phase loads. The proposed system feeds single-phase loads in rural areas and telecom towers. The synchronous reference frame theory (SRFT)–based control algorithm is used for the control of STATCOM used for voltage control and load balancing of SyRG.
