This paper describes the steady-state analysis of self-excited induction generators (SEIG) using an iterative method. By considering the conductances connected across the air gap nodes, an iteration procedure is developed of the determination of the self-excited per unit frequency, which enables the equivalent circuit to be completely solved. The proposed method involves only simple algebraic calculations, but the accuracy is good an convergence is rapid. The method is subsequently extended to include core loss effects and the analysis of SEIG with series capacitance compensation. Very good agreement between experimental and computed results has been obtained on a 2-kW laboratory machine.
