A bet ract Accurate generator modeling allows for more precise calculations of power system control and stability limits. In this paper, a procedure using a set of measured data f " an on-line plant transient recording and analysis (PTRA) system to develop the synchronous generator model for the Taipower system is described. A continuoustime transfer-function matrix is derived for a popular sixth-order synchronous generator model. In order to accomodate the nature of on-line digital measurementa, the transfer-function matrix is trans formed into a simple discretotime linear regression model. A me* sure of discrepancy between the generator model outputs and the on-line measurements from generators is employed. A modified conjugate gradient method suitable for identifying generator parameters is developed to minimiw the measure of discrepancy, from which a set of accurate generator parameter values can be obtained. The merits of the modified conjugate gradient method include its computational efficiency and numerical reliability. The p r o p d procedure allows simultaneous estimation of all generator parameter values. A detailed algorithm and numerical studies are reported in a companion
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
