Abstract
A comparison of the steady-state performance of self-excited reluctance and induction generators is presented. Segmental and salient-rotors are built to suit the stator of a three-phase induction machine. The machine is operated in the two modes of generation. Results from computer models for no-load and load conditions are confirmed with experimental results. The results of the two generation modes are compared. It is shown that the reluctance generator has an equal chance of being used for wind-power generation. In addition, it has the advantage of operating at a fixed frequency. Although both types of rotors may be used, better performance is obtained from segmental-rotors.Keywords
