Optimization Techniques for the Analysis of Self-excited Induction Generator

Nowadays the renewable energy systems are developing constantly around the whole world especially in backward regions the installation of wind firms increases day by day. Self-excited induction generators are the proper choice to be implemented in these applications because of its several merits. This paper includes the steady state performance of self-excited induction generator (SEIG) feeding balanced resistive load. Three optimization techniques have been adopted to determine the magnetizing reactance and generated frequency of the machine. Simulated results as obtained have been compared with experimental data. Comparative analysis as discussed proves the superiority of GA and PSO.
