Induction generators with hydraulic turbines are often used for cogeneration. The same turbine generator configuration can be used for stand alone generation if an impedance controller is connected to the generator terminals. This configuration requires no hydraulic controls on the turbine. This paper proposes an electronic impedance controller to control the voltage and the frequency of a stand alone induction generator, The controller concept and its control range is discussed. Particular attention is given to the harmonic distortion caused by the controller and measures to reduce these distortions. The controller design is discussed and data from an experimental generator set is provided to verify the proposed concept.
