Dynamic Modeling of Seven-Phase Induction Generator

High power applications require Multi-phase induction machines, considered viable contenders to the three phase machines operating as generator. An endeavor is made to develop a dynamic model of seven-phase induction generator and explore the generator functionality at no-load and different loading conditions. This paper analyzes the performance of seven-phase induction machine for various operating condition. The simulation model is developed using Matlab/Simulink. The seven phase generated voltage, current and torque are presented. The generator functionality is examined for different speeds and varying excitation capacitances.
