ABSTRACT
Chapters 2, 3, and 4 encompassed an overall discussion of the behavior of the induction generator. Based on standard machine models and on circuit equations relating voltage and current, many characteristics can be derived. In this chapter, mechanical and electrical characteristics are combined in such a way as to give a clear picture of the induction generator as one of the most important tools for mechanical conversion of renewable and alternative energies into electrical energy. The relationships between load voltage and frequency that result from this electromechanical interaction are made clear as the basic parameters of the turbine as a prime mover, and the induction machine as a generator.
