Dynamic Performance of Synchronous Generator in Steam Power Plant

Abstract

This paper presents dynamic performance of synchronous generator in steam power plant. Steam power plants are the most popular power plants to date. Until the end of 2018, 48.43% of the total installed capacity of power plants in Indonesia is this type of power plant. The largest steam power plant in Indonesia is in Paiton, Probolinggo, East Java, which is the object of this research. In its operation, the generator in this generator experiences dynamics as electricity load changes. This study discusses the analysis of the performance of synchronous generators to changes in electrical load. The analysis includes the voltage, active power, reactive power, power factor, and generator efficiency variables. The results showed that the generator performance remained good despite serving a very dynamic electricity load.

Estimation of Excitation Current of a Synchronous Machine Using Machine Learning Methods

“…Electrical machines (EM) are built from a stator, which is the static part of the EM consisting of phase-shifted coiled poles, and a rotor, which is the rotary part constructed depending on the tasks for which the machine is intended. AMs are most often used as motor-driven machines [3][4][5] in the automotive industry [6,7], construction [8], elevators [9], etc., while SMs are most often used to produce electricity in fossil fuel power plants [10][11][12] or in renewable energy plants, such as hydroelectric power [13,14] and wind power plants [15,16]. For energy to be transmitted from the producer to the final consumer, it must be of an alternating current (AC) [17].…”
