This paper presents the voltage generating process of synchronous generator. The aim of this paper is to understand the excitation system of synchronous generator. A direct current(DC) is applied to the rotor winding of a synchronous generator to the produce the rotor magnetic field. A prime mover rotates the generator rotor to rotate the magnetic field in the machine. A three phase set of voltages is induced in the stator winding by the rotating magnetic field. Excitation is the important part of synchronous generator. Synchronous generator excitation system consists of exciter, automatic voltage regulator, rectifier, step down transformer. The basic function of an excitation system is to provide direct current to the synchronous generator field winding. Voltage generating process simulate the MATLAB software.
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.
