Performance Optimization of Self Excited Induction Generator Using Simulated Annealing Technique

Abstract

A robust meta-heurtics optimization technique, simulated annealing, is applied in this paper for analyzing the performance of separate-excited induction generator under different speed/load levels. The simulated annealing technique is utilized to define the minimum value for excitation capacitor required for providing maximum output power from the generator under different load types/operating conditions.
