Self-excited induction generators (SEIG) are induction generators with capacitor excitation. Self-excited induction generators (SEIG) are extensively utilized in non-conventional energy systems such as wind, small hydro, biogas, etc. Steady state analysis for such machines is necessary to assess the performance under actual operating conditions. A 1.8 kW induction machine excited with symmetrical capacitor bank in isolated system, was the subject of investigation in this paper. A simple mathematical model is proposed to calculate the steady-state performance of self-excited induction generator by nodal admittance model. MATLAB programming is used to solve the proposed model. The results obtained by MATLAB programming are compared with experimental results. The results confirm the validity and accuracy of the MATLAB based modeling of self-excited induction generator
