The excitation system of synchronous generator plays an important role in the static and dynamic stability of power system. ‘Guide for modelling generator excitation system’ requires that the excitation system of new generators should be modelled and remodelled when the excitation system is upgraded. Testing the output limit of AVR is an important content of modelling. Considering inability of tetsing the output limit of AVR in AC exciter excitation system, this paper analyzes the reason using test data firstly, then proposes a new method to test the output limit of AVR, by modifying the maxim firing angle, the output limit can be got, the new method is verified during modelling test of a 145MW generator finally.
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.
