  • Patent number: 10020763
    Abstract: A power generation system is provided in which, when a static frequency converter (SFC) is connected to synchronous generator's armature windings, an AC exciter performs AC excitation by allowing a d-axis winding and a q-axis winding of the AC exciter to configure d-q orthogonal axes; and, at the time of steady-state operation of the synchronous generator, an alternating current(s) supplied from an electric power source is rectified by a thyristor excitation device, and also the AC exciter thereby performs DC excitation by connecting the d-axis winding and the q-axis winding in series with each other.

  • Patent number: 6847184
    Abstract: An excitation controller controls excitation of a synchronous machine, which is connected to a power transmission system through a transformer, so that a high-side voltage of the transformer is maintained at a target voltage with high accuracy. An output terminal target voltage of the synchronous machine is set to precisely compensate for a voltage drop in the transformer, corresponding to the transformer phase angle variation. To achieve this result, the excitation controller detects an output terminal voltage and an output current of the synchronous machine and calculates active and reactive currents of the output current, sets the output terminal target voltage of the synchronous machine from the active and reactive currents, the high-side voltage of the transformer, and the reactance of the transformer, and controls excitation of the synchronous machine to compensate for the voltage drop in the transformer corresponding to phase angle variation of the transformer.
