  • If an induction machine is run at above synchronous speed, it acts as Induction Generator.
  • Normally, an induction machine is designed to operate as a motor, where the rotor speed is slightly less than the synchronous speed of the stator's rotating magnetic field.
  • If the rotor speed is increased beyond the synchronous speed, then the machine starts to generate electrical power instead of consuming it, and it acts as an Induction Generator.
  • In this mode, the rotor's kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy, and the electrical power generated by the machine can be used to supply power to the grid or to other loads.
  • The amount of power generated by the Induction Generator depends on the rotor speed, load conditions, and other operating parameters.
