Abstract

In this paper, some results of experiment on modification of induction motor into generator are described. Not as usually done on three-phase motor, the modification has been done on capacitor motors normally supplied with single-phase source. The resulted induction generator should be able to self-excite and has been intended for low-power, low-speed applications. These applications are prospective for example in rural renewable energy generations and as motors for some special electric vehicles. Machine modification instead of total design-production or new machine acquisition is considered more appropriate for remote rural electrification. Distance and transportation difficulties, unavailability of nearby machine industry, lack of human resources with ‘high-tech savvy’, besides the low purchasing power of population in remote rural areas are some reasons behind the consideration. Experiment results indicated that voltage generation up to nominal value is not always easy to attain in a capacitor motor, even when functioning beyond its synchronous speed. An additional pre-charged capacitor should be used to initiate voltage generation. During start-up, load and the pre-charged capacitor had to be removed from generator to avoid capacitor discharge. Load could then be added gradually once generator approached its nominal output value. It was also shown that in order to generate power the generator must be rotating over its synchronous speed. The resulted frequency values did not vary linearly to the rotation speed and the obtained efficiency was still low.

Abstract

In a power distribution system it is expected that the current and voltage values to be maintained constant both in terms of magnitude and frequency. However, distortion of waveforms as a result of non-linear loads connected to system is widely found in a form of harmonics. Harmonics are sinusoidal signals whose frequencies multiples of the fundamental frequency. The severity of harmonics content is commonly stated using Total Harmonics Distortion (THD), revealing the ratio of the Root Mean Square (RMS) values of all harmonic components to its fundamental component, and is expressed in percentage (%). The harmonics could engender undesired effects in some appliances. In this paper, an effort to minimize the THD value in an inverter design is described. Less harmonics were obtained using Buck-Boost Converter and Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) Method. Analysis results showed a THD reduction of 4.58 % and 4.33 % for current and voltage respectively.
