This paper describes a newly developed single-phase capacitor self-excited induction generator with self-regulating features, suitable for engine-driven portable gen-sets for autonomous/standby power generation. The system is also suitable for microhydro and wind energy systems. The generator has two specially designed stator windings in quadrature, connected externally to a shunt and a series capacitor respectively. It employs a standard die-cast squirrel cage rotor. Special features, advantages and theoretical concepts of the system are highlighted in this part of the paper, detailed experimental results being presented in Part 2.
