A new voltage regulator for self-excited induction generator-design, simulation, and experimental results

This paper describes the design process of a new voltage regulator (VR) for a self excited induction generator (SEIG). The control philosophy of the regulator was implemented using both digital and power electronics technology. The VR designed was built and tested with a 3.5 kW SEIG supplying both a resistive load and an induction motor, obtaining a good performance.
