| Abstract | The effects of power converter topologies on the steady-state characteristics of cascaded induction generator systems are discussed by the use of an original simulation tool. The simulation results show that the input power factor of the generator systems using diode rectifiers becomes less than −0.6. Moreover, the power efficiency of those systems is lower than that of the PWM converter system by around 4%. For the generator system consisting of a PWM converter, the PWM converter capacity of 409 kVA that corresponds to 30% of the total generated power is necessary to generate electric power with negative unity input power factor when the slip of the cascaded induction generator is −0.4. | |
