Experimental analysis on a Self Excited Induction Generator for standalone wind electric pumping stations

Self Excited Induction Generator (SIEG) has become a focal point in the research of standalone renewable energy sources. This paper investigates the capacity and the applicability of self excited induction generator feeding an isolated non linear load (induction motor coupled with variable mechanical load) in order to exploited in the remote areas as wind electric pump system for different application. The performance characteristics are examined by experimental test, the transient, steady state and limit of operating is also discussed in this study.
