The three-phase synchronous generators are still the backbone of most electric power plants in the world. Many researchers still study synchronous generators in attempts to improve their performance and reduce losses in iron core, copper windings, friction ball bearings, and moments of inertia due to mass and rotor diameter. One of the important characteristics studied insynchronous generator behavior is the generator’svoltage regulation (VR%). Over the past century, researchers have developed four practical and mathematical methods to determine the value of the combined voltages of synchronous generators. This article describes a new method based on the impedance method, the magneto motive force (MMF) method, and the Potier method. The new method effectiveness evaluation is conducted via calculating the four methods and their application to a synchronous generator. The article also offers practical and theoretical recommendations to improve the results and increase flexibility in changing loads as their power factors change.

In this paper, the performances of all the three kinds of Axial type Multi-Pole Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSG) namely Three-phase, Multi-phase or Five Phase and Double Stator fixed in Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) were investigated and compared in order to get an optimal system. MATLAB/Simulink had been used to model and simulate the wind turbine system together with all the three types Permanent Magnet Generators. It was observed from the result that with the increasing number of pole in both low and high wind speed, the five phase generator produced more power than the other two generators. In general, it was observed that the responses of the Multi-phase generator at both high and low speed wind showed promising aspect towards the system followed by Dual Stator. But with the change of the variables such as wind velocity, turbine height, radius, area together with the generator pole pairs and stator resistance, the optimum system should be chosen by considering the trade-off between different configurations which were firmly analyzed and described in this paper.

The comparison between recursive least squares (RLS) and Kalman filter (KF) is presented in this paper, both methods were adequate to estimate six parameters of a synchronous machine. The work focused on finding the operating conditions which the quality of the identification achieved with Kalman filter is better than recursive least squares. A linear model of the machine is used in order to considerate the currents and their derivatives as the system inputs while the three-phase voltage signals are the outputs. Furthermore two experiments with simulated and measured data were carried out, three operating scenarios and two variations of the algorithms respectively were considered. Despite the great similarity and good performance of both methods, it was found that Kalman filter slightly exceeded least squares due to the fact that it presented smaller oscillations in the estimated value of the parameters for any operating condition.

Loss of excitation (LOE) relay is one of the most essential protection elements for synchronous generators in power plants. During the last few decades, several LOE detection methods have been proposed, while limited schemes such as admittance- and impedance-based ones have been adopted for industrial applications. This study investigates and compares the behavior of some practical LOE detection schemes through extensive simulation scenarios, and from the reliability, speed, and security points of view. The simulation scenarios are accomplished by using the real-time-digital-simulator, where the phase domain model of the synchronous generator is used to develop a realistic and typical power generation system. Employing such a system, different types of complete and partial LOE incidents can be applied according to IEEE Standard C37.102-2006, while the performance of any scheme can be assessed through accurate and realistic LOE scenarios.

In this paper, a new simulation model is developed to be able to simulate diesel genset smart grid interconnection by keeping in view future requirements of the grids and grid codes. The simulations are carried out in Matlab/Simulink environment. An example case is based on 1200 kW variable speed diesel genset with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The simulations are carried out for various dynamic behaviours of PMSG and their protection and control facilities, which are necessary in normal operating conditions and in a range of disturbed operating conditions in order to preserve or to re-establish system security. Various faults (e.g. disturbances) have been induced in the distribution system and the robustness of the network has been analysed to make sure continuous supply of electricity to the consumers in the future smart grid environment.

In this paper a comprehensive dynamical assessment of a high order synchronous generator plant is carried out using the Individual Channel Analysis and Design (ICAD) framework –a multivariable control engineering tool that allows robustness and system performance evaluations. The great benefits of ICAD are elucidated and contrasted to those provided by the long-time honored block diagram representations. Several models used for the small signal stability analysis of synchronous generators are evaluated under the framework of ICAD. The study, which builds on pioneering work, reveals the great advantages of carrying out control system analysis and design with higher order generator models. Moreover, careful analysis of the ICAD's Multivariable Structure Function (MSF) helps to explain, formally, why some operating conditions of the control system are more critical than others. Furthermore, correct interpretations of MSFs are amenable to robust and stable control system designs. Two kinds of studies are considered in the paper; one assesses operation under various power factor conditions and the other under a varying tie-line reactance. The control system design and stability and structural robustness assessment of the system are presented in the second part of this paper. Moreover, results obtained under the ICAD framework are compared with those arising from conventional controllers.

Modern operating conditions of large industrial enterprises require the provision of high reliability of power supply to consumers while reducing the cost of the electricity consumed. These requirements are ensured by the widespread introduction of own sources of electrical energy. These include combined heat and power plants, gas turbines, gas pistons and steam and gas power plants. At the same time, there is a significant complication of the industrial network configuration and possible emergency modes. One of the emergency modes in such networks is the loss of excitation of the synchronous generator. The admissibility of such a regime is specified by regulatory documents. In this situation, the generator goes into asynchronous mode and consumes reactive power from the network. The purpose of this work is to identify the admissibility of the synchronous generator operation for a certain time in the asynchronous mode as a result of the loss of excitation. An algorithm has been developed to calculate the transient electromechanical process of a synchronous generator taking into account the loss of machine excitation. Investigations have been carried out for various operating modes of an industrial power plant taking into account the initial generator load using the KATRAN software. The calculation results allow determining the generator load by active power at which the synchronous generator can operate in the asynchronous mode without excitation.

Reliable supply of consumers with electric energy largely depends on the reliability of power source function-ing. In the context of this paper it depends on synchronous generators operating in autonomous power supply sys-tems. In contrast to the power plant generators which are part of power systems and are protected from the loads by sufficiently large resistances, power supply systems withautonomous generators are characterized by rather low resistances. Abrupt changes in the supply load parameters, their own transient and emergency modes, for example, short circuits at the generator terminals, forcing excitation, etc. may lead to various failures in the synchronous gener-ator operation. This paper discusses the possibility of over-voltage in the valve excitation system of a synchronous generator with external three-phase short circuits. On the basis of analytical expressions describing the physical pro-cesses occurring in the excitation system of synchronous generators, the conditions for the occurrence of overvolt-ages are identified

Abstract In recent years, there have occurred system failures in many power systems all over the world. They have resulted in a lack of power supply to a large number of recipients. To minimize the risk of occurrence of power failures, it is necessary to perform multivariate investigations, including simulations, of power system operating conditions. To conduct reliable simulations, the current base of parameters of the models of generating units, containing the models of synchronous generators, is necessary. In the paper, there is presented a method for parameter estimation of a synchronous generator nonlinear model based on the analysis of selected transient waveforms caused by introducing a disturbance (in the form of a pseudorandom signal) in the generator voltage regulation channel. The parameter estimation was performed by minimizing the objective function defined as a mean square error for deviations between the measurement waveforms and the waveforms calculated based on the generator mathematical model. A hybrid algorithm was used for the minimization of the objective function. In the paper, there is described a filter system used for filtering the noisy measurement waveforms. The calculation results of the model of a 44 kW synchronous generator installed on a laboratory stand of the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the Silesian University of Technology are also given. The presented estimation method can be successfully applied to parameter estimation of different models of high-power synchronous generators operating in a power system.

This study applied an extension algorithm combined with the Chaos Theory to the fault diagnosis of the three-phase synchronous generator. First, the three-phase synchronous generator is classified, including normal, carbon brush fault, three-phase unbalance, and insulation deterioration, and then by means of hardware measurement circuit and device, electrical signals are measured for each category and a chaotic error scatter map is built through the Chaos Theory to get the chaotic eye coordinates under specific fault categories. Next, the extension algorithm is used to carry out the correlation function and the normalization calculation, evaluating the type of fault to which it belongs. The analysis results show that the proposed method can effectively identify the fault types of three-phase synchronous generators and significantly reduce the amount of feature extraction data, so as to effectively detect the change of fault signals, allowing us to know the operation state of three-phase synchronous generators.
