investigation into the use of elg for stand alone power system frequency control
abstract
the use of elg for stand alone power system frequency control is investigated in this
thesis. characteristics of a stand alone power system with pcr-elg are presented.
dynamic simulation of the system is developed using simulink/simpowersystems
and is verified by comparing the simulation results with experimental results in the
literature. the simulation results show that terminal waveforms of the synchronous
machine with controller rectifier load are highly distorted. pulses in phase voltage
caused by negative current through thyristors affect rectifier control if appropriate
snubber/filter is not imposed. based on the simulation results, pcr-elg control with
feedback loop is designed. the control results are compared with those of the system
having only normal governing and excitation systems. the results show that
pcr-elg can provide much better frequency control for a stand alone power system
than normal governing and excitation control.
