ABSTRACT

This paper aims to determine the optimal capacitors required for maximum output power of a single phase self excited induction generator (SEIG). This paper deals with theoretical, fuzzy logic and practical approach in order to extract the values of optimal capacitor for maximum output power .To find this capacitor value, nonlinear equations have to be solved from the equivalent circuit of SEIG. The advantages of using fuzzy logic approach are universal control algorithm, fast converging, accepting of noise and inaccurate signals. At the end of the paper the theoretical and fuzzy logic results are verified with experimental values.
