Small-Signal Modeling and Parameter Optimization Design for Photovoltaic Virtual Synchronous Generator

Adaptive Control Design for a Synchronous Generator

The operating point of a power system changes to an unknown point with an unknown change in the mechanical input power. In this paper, a nonlinear adaptive controller is designed for excitation system of the generator based on the backstepping control technique, in order to achieve transient stability enhancement, in the presence of uncertainties in mechanical power. The designed controller gua...

Design of High-Efficiency and Low-Cost Six-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator for Direct-Drive Small-Scale Wind Power Application

Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) have a huge potential for direct-drive wind power applications. Therefore, optimal design of these generators is necessary to maximize their efficiency and to reduce their manufacturing cost and total volume. In this paper, an optimal design of a six-phase 3.5 KW direct-drive PMSG to generate electricity for domestic needs is performed. The aim of ...

PMU-Based Matching Pursuit Method for Black-Box Modeling of Synchronous Generator

This paper presents the application of the matching pursuit method to model synchronous generator. This method is useful for online analysis. In the proposed method, the field voltage is considered as input signal, while the terminal voltage and active power of the generator are output signals. Usually, the difference equation with a second degree polynomial structure is used to estimate the co...

Synchronous Generator Model Identification and Parameter Estimation From Operating Data

A novel technique to estimate and model parameters of a 460-MVA large steam turbine generator from operating data is presented. First, data from small excitation disturbances are used to estimate linear model armature circuit and field winding parameters of the machine. Subsequently, for each set of steady state operating data, saturable inductances and are identified and modeled using nonlinea...
