  The paper deals with the modelling and control of a double winded induction
generator. The controlled process is an induction generator with distinct
excitation winding. At the generator terminal is connected a load (electrical
consumer). There are presented the results obtained by using a minimum variance
adaptive control system. The main goal of the control structure is to keep the
generator output (terminal voltage) constant by controlling the excitation
voltage from the distinct winding. The study cases in the paper are for the
validation of the reduced order model of induction generator (5th order model)
used only to design the adaptive controller. There is also validated the
control structure. There were considered variations of the mechanical torque.
