Individual Channel Design for Synchronous Generators

Abstract

In this paper a novel control strategy for a real synchronous generator is presented. It is based on linear, diagonal, low order, minimum-phase, fixed, and stable controllers. The controller was obtained via individual channel design (ICD), a framework that allows analysis and synthesis of multivariable control systems by means of classical techniques based on the Bode and Nyquist plots. The generator is part of a one machine – infinite bus system. A linearised model around an operating point in a rotating coordinate frame is used. The theoretical principles behind this control strategy are summarised for completeness. The results using this novel control strategy are obtained throughout simulations in MATLAB®.

Synchronous Generators Modeling and Control Using the Framework of Individual Channel Analysis and Design: Part 1

“…Key features of the models used are highlighted. ICAD, as the control strategy for OMIB systems, has been reported by Fadlalmoula et al (1998) and Ugalde-Loo et al (2005), with preliminary work on the suitability of the various synchronous generator order models available for analysis in the work of Ugalde-Loo et al (2006), with more conclusive results presented in this paper. Control system design and stability and structural robustness assessment are addressed in the second part of this paper.…”

“…The work of Liceaga-Castro et al (2005b presents ICAD as an induction motor control scheme and a flux generator model has been used in the control of an OMIB system by Ugalde-Loo et al (2005).…”

Synchronous Generators Modeling and Control Using the Framework of Individual Channel Analysis and Design: Part 1

“…On the quest for an alternative analysis tool which does not suffer from lack of physical transparency but which would still be applicable to large-scale systems, a classical oriented framework introduced by O'Reilly and for multivariable systems, termed Individual Channel Analysis and Design (ICAD), has been applied to OMIB systems and other contrived power systems dynamic problems, as shown in the work of Fadlalmoula et al (1998), Edwards et al (2000), and Dudgeon et al (2000). The work of Liceaga-Castro et al (2005b presents ICAD as an induction motor control scheme and a flux generator model has been used in the control of an OMIB system by Ugalde-Loo et al (2005).…”
