Investigation of capacitor-excited induction generators and permanent magnet alternators for small scale wind power generation

This paper examines two electric generator options for use in autonomous wind systems producing asynchronous electric power. The first makes use of a capacitor-excited squirrel-cage induction generator feeding a battery bank and an induction motor driven centrifugal pump. The second uses a permanent magnet alternator. Results obtained from field tests and laboratory experiments are included.
