Induction Generator - Grid and Stand-alone Connections

Grid and Stand-alone Connections

In induction generators, the magnetizing flux is established by a capacitor bank connected to the machine in case of stand alone system and in case of grid connection it draws magnetizing current from the grid.

For a grid connected system, frequency and voltage at the machine will be dictated by the electric grid, since it is very small compared to the whole system.

For stand-alone systems, frequency and voltage are complex function of machine parameters, capacitance used for excitation, and load value and type.

    Our business being to colonize the country, there was only one way to do it—by spreading over it all the associations and connections of family life.
