FET-Based Numerical Modeling of a Self-Excited Induction Generator Driven by a Controlled DC Motor.

In this paper, a new and non-traditional approach is proposed for modeling a self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by a controlled DC motor. The algorithm used in this paper is based on a modified finite element technique (FET) and the trapezoidal rule time integration. Unlike the conventional FET-based models, in the proposed numerical model, addition of equations is avoided and the global set of equations is solved iteratively. A MATLAB-Simulink model of the system is developed for comparison. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
