Connecting the machine to the mains with an angle error from less than 10
degrees gives transient currents which peak values lie under 40 % of rated
value vanishing in less than one second, as shown in the left figure.
With a neglectiable angle error the start-up currents are much smaller, as can
be observed in the right figure.

Power Factor Step


1. Introduction
2. E-On
Guidelines
3. Modelling
4. Controller
Design

The power factor step presents a retarded response due to the coupling with
the active power channel.
The increase on the torque caused by the reference power factor step is less
damped than the reaction caused again on the power factor.
Such extremes reactive power steps must be avoided in the normal operation of
the generator in order to avoid the observed torque steps.

The oscillations observed previously on the torque and on the currents are also
observed on the speed.

6. Conclusion

A synchronous machine classical model was used to simulate different situations


before and after synchronisation with the electrical grid.
A voltage regulator for the field excitation of the synchronous generator was
designed. This controller has to guarantee stable operation of the generator
under various conditions including faults.
Simulation results show the good performance of the controller. With the
already existing controller the machine is kept stable during extreme conditions
like torque steps and reactive power variations. Faulty conditions were also
simulated.
Further studies will investigate the effects of faulty conditions on the
mechanical drive train caused by high electromechanical torque and its
harmonics and of the distribution line and the transformer on the performance
of the machine under voltage drops.
