HARDWARE-IN-THE-LOOP SIMULATION OF THE SYNCHRONIZATION PROCESS OF POWER GENERATORS

摘要

Increasing automation of electric power systems has led to the development of fully automatic synchronization, which still generates great interest, despite a rich literature in the subject and numerous patents. Proper execution of automatic synchronization determines the accuracy and reliability of the electric power system. Automatic synchronizers manufactured by numerous producers all over the world must be tested. Widespread use of computers for control and adjustment in power plants and stations makes it reasonable to use them also for the tasks, which have been done by the automatic synchronizers. This involves the development of new measuring and computing algorithms, which will allow the computer to execute directly the testing process. This article presents a simulator used for these reasons and gives some results of experimental research with this simulator.
