The paper describes analogue-and digital-computer studies of a synchronous machine with various 2-axisexcitation control systems. The steady-state and transient performances of the same machine are analysed, assuming different control schemes, such as rotor-angle control and asynchronised operation, and are compared with a conventional machine. The effects of damper windings, regulator time constants and stabilising circuits on the steady-state performance are shown by regulation curves. It is confirmed that the voltage-regulator loop gain has virtually no effect on steady-state stability, provided the winding with a.v.r. control is aligned with the flux axis by an angle regulator. The improved transient-stability limits obtained with high gains are shown. The fundamentally different transient behaviour of unregulated doubly excited and conventional synchronous machines is explained, and confirmed using accurate mathematical models of the machines. The method of 'small oscillations' is applied to determine the speed stability of an asynchronised synchronous machine, and the transient performances of three different control schemes are compared in terms of swing curves and switching-time curves.List of symbols 8 = angle between quadrature axis and voltage vector of power system (called rotor angle) 6 -angle between stator e.m.f. and ordinate axis 8 e = angle between voltage vector of power system and resultant excitation vector (called load angle) COQ = system frequency, rad/s a) = rotor angular velocity, rad/s s = p8loj 0 , slip p = d\dt, differential operator t c = clearing time, s H = inertia constant, kWs/kVA K d = mechanical damping coefficient P = active power R -resistance (of armature, unless subscript is used) Q = reactive power T{ -input torque from prime mover T e = electrical output torque V = system voltage v = voltage / = current ifj = flux linkage X = reactance fx = regulator gain T = time constant of regulator loop, s E f -(Ef d + Ej q ) i/2 , resultant field excitation A = prefix used to denote a small change in a quantity A = reference signal in angle-regulator loop

The paper describes an investigation of the transient behaviour of a doubly excited synchronous machine, both with and without excitation controls. The analysis shows how the positional change of the resultant rotor m.m.f., due to the induced currents, gives an inherent advantage to the doubly excited machine over a conventional synchronous machine, for the improvement of transient stability. When excitation controls are employed, there is a further improvement in the transient-stability limit, with a greater contribution coming from the voltage regulator.List of symbols 8 = angle between quadrature axis and voltage vector of power system (rotor angle) 8 e = angle between resultant of rotor e.m.f.s and voltage vector of power system (load angle) e = angle between quadrature axis and resultant of the rotor e.m.f.s $' c = angle between quadrature axis and resultant of rotor flux linkages P = active power Q = reactive power Tj = input torque from prime mover T e = electrical output torque V = system voltage / = current if = resultant of the field currents ijj = flux linkages X = reactance X 1 = transient reactance E 1 = voltage behind transient reactance a = angle of back swing p -differential operator d\dt H = inertia constant K d = mechanical-damping coefficient Subscripts 0 initial value of a quantity d direct axis q quadrature axis fd direct-axis field fq quadrature-axis field ad direct-axis mutual aq quadrature-axis mutual b busbar 1
