Development of Robust Excitation Controller for Synchronous Generator

Abstract:

This paper deals with the design and evaluation of robust excitation controller for a single-machine infinite-bus power system. The design of the regulator guarantees the stability of the closed loop system and ensures the output voltage is maintained within an acceptable threshold. In addition, it damps out local mode oscillations for small signal disturbances. The designed robust controller is also analyzed under change in step input and disturbance, which limits the heavy oscillations on the speed ω and voltage. Glover-McFarlane loop shaping algorithm is applied in designing the robust excitation controller. Two different techniques such as Optimal control and mixed sensitivity approach is used in this paper. The performance of the AVR was analyzed and compared with IEEE type2 Exciter.
