Induction Generators
Induction Generators
(OP)
Hi all,
I am trying to fit a turbine for a tidal application. To be honest I really know very little about induction generators and how they work. I'm sure that they are geared to turn up the RPM's to produce optimum power. Does anyone have any web sites I could read that would increase my knowledge about these generators?
Thanks

A 1750 RPM motor has a synchronous speed of 1800 RPM. When connected to the grid and driven above 1800 RPM it becomes an induction generator and supplies energy to the grid.

It is very basic. More details can be found here: h
There are also sites where theory and simulink or other MatLab models are discussed. Just google on!
