Abstract
In this research paper selecting the value of the series compensation capacitance Cse, of an Self Excited Induction Generator, one should consider the voltage drop across Cse as well as the amount of compensating reactive power obtainable. A large value of Cse results in a smaller voltage drop, but the reactive power IL²Xse is also small. On the other hand, a small value of Cse results in a larger voltage drop but provides more reactive power for voltage compensation. At least one of the terminal impedances Z1 , Z2, Z3 and must contain a capacitive element in order to furnish the reactive power necessary for initiating self-excitation.
