The document describes modeling and analysis of a self-excited slip ring induction generator (SESRIG) using the Newton-Raphson method. Key points:
1) A SESRIG uses a rotor resistance controller and external capacitance to self-excite without a grid connection. This allows independent control of voltage and frequency over a wide speed range by varying the rotor resistance.
2) An equivalent circuit model of the SESRIG is developed. The Newton-Raphson method is then applied to solve the model equations for the frequency and voltage characteristics as a function of rotor resistance.
3) Experimental results are presented to verify the control method. A closed-loop scheme using
