This paper presents a control scheme of a power generation system based on a dual star squirrel-cage induction machine operating as an induction generator. The operating mode based on an excitation control scheme is chosen to ensure a controlled magnitude and frequency of the generator output voltage. Some preliminary simulation and experimental test results, carried out on a prototype of dual star induction machine operating as generator and supplying various loads under different conditions, are presented and discussed.
