Funding entity Alstom

Alstom has developed a dynamic excitation module technology. This module is added to static excitation systems fed from generator terminals to improve the generator stability in case of network faults. This project will include the development of a reduced-scale test bank and will provide support to Alstom in the simulation of the machine behaviour. It will also study the large disturbance stability mechanisms of synchronous machines and the design of advanced control schemes of the dynamic excitation module.

Research topics:
• *Stability: large disturbance stability, tuning of frequency loadshedding schemes, excitation control, small disturbance stability, tuning of power system stabilizers, identification of AVR and governor models
