Excitation System Commissioning Procedures

摘要

Excitation system commissioning tests are performed on all new excitation systemsinstalled by the Bureau of Reclamation. In many cases, the system manufacturer is responsible for these tests; however, The Bureau of Reclamation must ensure that these tests are performed satisfactorily. Also, the excitation system parmeters must be adjusted for proper power system operation. The report lists the steps in the excitation test procedures that are performed by Reclamation's Controls and Automation Section as a part of the commissioning program or realignment service. It is intended as a reference for engineers who are interested in excitation system testing. The test sequence is not absolute; however, some tests must be performed before others. The sequence presented in the report is based on several field tests. The procedures documented in the report have been used successfully for testing excitation systems provided by many manufacturers.
