Behaviour of self excited synchronous generator loaded by different sizing induction motors

Abstract

The modeling of both the synchronous generator and induction motor which is represented by the rotor reference frame was studied where the modeling was established using MATLAB /SIMULINK software package for an isolated synchronous generator direct-on-line with different sized induction motors; 20, 50, and 100 Hp, at manually adjusted excitation voltage values which were maintained constant at 3.35, 4.55, and 6.21 V, respectively. The purpose of this work is to study the impact of a sudden increase in the load torque; from 0 to 150 % with an increase of 25 %, of full load torque was studied at a constant motor speed of 188.49 rad sec-1. On the other hand, the impact of a sudden decrease in the rotor speed by about 20 % from its rated value; from 188.49 to 150.79 rad sec-1 was also studied at full load torque of the same different-sized induction motors. These values were manually recorded and response variables of the generator including terminal voltage, current, output power, electromagnetic torque, and load angle were determined and represented as a function of time. The results illustrated the Changes in the terminal voltage, the current, the output power, the electromagnetic torque, and the load angle as parameters of a synchronous generator for different-sized induction motors.
