Power is extremely fundamental infrastructure on the whole extension of many nations in the world. Electrical energy from renewable energy resources can be cheaper compare to grid connection in hilly areas or remote locations. Induction generators are widely used to extract energy from renewable energy as it gives synchronized electrical power at variable speed of its prime mover turbine. . Unfortunately the Induction generator, when run in self excited mode, has poor voltage stability. Output voltage of SEIG increase, when we decrease the load on it from the full load. We don’t have any control over consumer load. This results in voltage problem on connected consumer load. This project aim to develop controller for an SEIG to keep SEIG output voltage constant by developing ELC (Electronic Load Controller) for low capacity SEIG. MATLAB simulation for low capacity SEIG power generation unit is carried out for the reliability of low capacity SEIG power generation facility for the remote area.
