This thesis report is a study on starting means for a synchronous generator. The software used for the project is MATrix LABoratory (MATLAB) Simulink versionR2016a. The simulations have four parts in total; first and second parts are by using direct on line induction motor with constant and variable gear ratio of the transmission. Third and fourth part are by using inverter with PWM controller for induction motor with constant and variable gear ratio of the transmission. There are three main components that need to be connected in the simulations which are the induction motor block, synchronous generator block and the transmission block that linking between motor and generator. The other components that are important as well are the sources which are the AC source and inverter with DC source. From this experiment the best method for the synchronous generator to achieve synchronous speed is to be discover in term of the efficiency and the health of the machine.
