A Seminar Co-organized with the Division of Power Engineering, School of EEE, NTU Characteristics of Self-Excited Induction Generators
(Light refreshment will be served at 3:00pm) Abstract: The increasing concern of green house gas emission and depletion of conventional energy sources have motivated the world towards increase the use of renewable energy sources to meet the energy demand. Some of the renewable energy sources, such as wind and mini-hydro are invariably located in remote areas where grid supply may be well out of reach, especially in developing countries. Such energy sources have high potential to energize neighboring isolated communities. Induction generators are very commonly used in wind and mini-hydro applications because of their many advantageous features over synchronous generators. However, the operation as well as analysis of a stand-alone or self-excited induction generator (SEIG) induction generator in a remote area is much more difficult than that of a grid connected induction generation. A SEIG needs a local reactive power source for excitation and it has a narrow operating region. In this seminar, the operating principle and steady state characteristics of a SEIG will be presented. The technique of determining the characteristics of the generator, with various configurations, will also be discussed. Some of the experimental results found and recently published by the speaker will also be presented. Speaker Biography: Mohammed Hamidul Haque received the BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering in 1980, 1983, and 1988, respectively. He served the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology as a Lecturer for four years. He worked with the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals for ten years as a Lecturer, an Assistant Professor and an Associated Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. He served the School of Electrical Engineering, University of South Australia as a Senior Lecturer for three years and The Flinders University of South Australia for one year. Since 1998, he has been with the Nanyang Technological University as an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Dr. Haque is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Australia.For further information, please contact:-
