This paper presents a simple dβq model of a saturated multi-phase (six-phase) self-excited induction
generator (SP-SEIG). Multi-phase AC machines are nowadays widely considered as potentially viable
solutions for numerous variable-speed drive applications. With an increased emphasis on renewable electric
energy generation, while interfacing with the grid typically take place by means of power electronic converter,
if the generator is used for stand-alone application. The main advantages of multi-phase machines that make
them viable for drive can also be effectively exploited in generating application. In particular, it is shown that
the SP-SEIG can operate with a single three-phase capacitor bank. The generator can also supply two
separate three-phase loads, which represents an additional advantage. In this paper proposes the modeling
and analysis of six phase self excited induction generator under R and RL load condition and also torque and
rotor dynamic equation are discussed. The simulation results obtained and compared with three phases self
excited induction generator. Results obtained compared with three phase self excited induction generator
performance. In power generation application of practical usage this system has sufficient capability.

singly-excited ac machine. Stator winding of a
3-phase IM is connected to a 3-phase ac source
and rotor winding receive its energy from stator by
means of electro-magnetic induction.
a) In motoring mode (0 < slip < 1), rotor rotates
in the direction of rotating field produced by the
stator current. The slip varies from range 1 at
stand still to 0 at synchronous speed.
b) In generating mode (-1 < slip < 0), stator
terminals are connected to a constant frequency
voltage source and rotor driven at above
synchronous speed by a prime mover.
Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of six-phase SEIG
SEIG employ cage rotor construction with shunt
capacitor connected at its terminal for excitation.
The shunt capacitor may be variable. As the speed
during induction generator operation is not
synchronous, it is also called an asynchronous
generator. The diagram hardware description given
this paper [15].
IV. MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF SEIG
The parameter is used in the SEIG can be obtained
by conducting test on the induction generator when
act as motor. The traditional test is used to
determine the parameter consists of open circuit (no
load) test and the short circuit (locked rotor) test. In
this paper [14] the d-q model is developed for easy
to get the complete solution, transient and steady
state response of the self-excitation.

A schematic representation of the stator and rotor
winding for a two pole, six phase induction

angle Ξ±. The winding of each 3 - phase set are
uniformly distributed and displaced 120 degree.
The following voltage equation of a multi-phase
induction machine in arbitrary reference frame is:
