Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to construct a distributed environment through which the capacitance requirements of self-excited induction generators can be monitored and controlled. A single-server/multiclient architecture has been proposed which enables that the self-excited induction generators can access the remote server at any time, with their respective data and can able to get the minimum capacitance requirements. An Remote Method Invocation (RMI)-based distributed model has been developed in such a way that for every specific period of time, the remote server obtains the system data simultaneously from the neighbouring self-excited induction generators which are the clients registered with it and the server send back the capacitance requirements as response to the respective clients. The server creates a new thread of control for every client request and hence complete distributed environment has been exploited.

Keywords: distributed processing; self-excited induction generators; RMI; remote method invocation; client-server model; capacitance requirements; modelling; control.
