Abstract

Operation of Induction motors as induction generators in grid connected and self excitation mode is well known. In many countries induction generators are used for electrical power generation by wind energy. Low cost, robustness and ease of maintenance are attractive features of induction generators. Even though these generators are used at some places for micro hydro power generation, very small scale generation known as pico hydro generation offers excellent opportunity for them. Slip ring induction motors are used for micro power generation and squirrel cage induction motors are used for pico power generation.
