INDUCTION GENERATORS: CLASSIFICATIONS AND FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES. NAME: JULIANA CARRANZA. CLASS: MAQUINAS ELECTRICAS 1. TEACHER: CRISTIAN ANZURES MENDOZA. WHAT ARE INDUCTION GENERATORS? The induction generator is also known as asynchronous generator. It generates electricity. HOW DOES THE ASYNCHRONOUS MACHINE WORK AS A GENERATOR. • To generate electric energy, needs to produce induced voltage in stator’s coil. To start asynchronous generator, it is necessary to obtain reactive power from grid to form a rotating magnetic field. This field makes rotor spin like in a motor. For being linked to a primary machine, rotor’s speed must be higher than rotating magnetic field to generate active power. TYPES OF INDUCTION GENERATORS. • There are three of induction generators: 1.) Single Fed induction generator. 2.) Doubly Fed(Double-excited) induction generator. 3.) Variable-speed induction generator. HOW ARE THEY CLASSIFIED. • Induction generators can be classified based on their operation and connection to the electrical system. • Based on the method of excitation. INDUCTION GENERATORS BY OPERATION. Self-excited induction generator. Grid-connected induction generator. INDUCTION GENERATORS BY EXCITATION. Externally excited induction generator. Capacitor-excited induction generator. Brushless excitation induction generators. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE. • The induction generator operates on the same fundamental principles as an induction motor, which is based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. APPLICATIONS OF INDUCTION GENERATORS. Water companies. windmills. Paper mills. CONCLUSION. • In conclusion, induction generators are versatile electrical devices that play a crucial role in various power generation applications. Their simplicity, reliability, and ability to operate in diverse environments make them suitable for a range of scenarios.
