One of the most important concerns in generators is their launch. The performance characteristic of synchronous machines is determined by the amount of output voltage terminal of the generator in the overload state, this voltage value depends on the current of the magnetic field (startup current), and if this current changes, the characteristic of the generator's performance also changes.
The synchronous rotor to create an excitation field requires a direct controlled flow. The source of this current is an excitation system that sends the stimulus to a synchronous machine (generator). This system consists of a set of feeders, regulators, controls and protection devices.
The excitation system of synchronous machines has two main parts:
A) The power system, which includes equipment required to generate the required magnetic field of the synchronous motor rotor coil.
B) the control system, which has the task of controlling the amount of magnetic field current under normal operation conditions and in the event of an error occurring.
The excitation system is divided into three main types based on the source of magnetic field flux production:
1. Direct current stimulation systems
In this type of excitation system, direct current generators are used as a source of flow generation, which provide stimulation through brushes. The stimulus may be rotated either by an independent motor or by the generator axis or by self-stimulating or stimulating. In an independent stimulation state, the stimulation current of the excitation system is provided through an auxiliary stimulation system that has a permanent magnetic field. Of course, these kind of systems are old and nowadays static and alternating current systems are used. Some of these systems utilize amplifier voltage regulators.
2. Alternating current propulsion systems
In this type of excitation system, alternating current generators are used to create the required stimulation current in the main generator rotor coil. In this case, the oxidizer (stimulator) is usually located on the same main axis of the turbogenerator. Then the output of the diverging flow of the oxidizers is recirculated and the direct current generated is transmitted to the main generator's actuator coil. The rectifier system can either be stationary or rotary.
2.1. Systems with resident rectifier
If the rectifier system is stationary, the output of their direct current must be transmitted through brushes to the main generator's actuator coil. In the case of uncontrolled diode rectifiers, the alternating current controls the excitation excitation regulator, which, in turn, is responsible for controlling the output voltage of the oxide.
2.2. Systems with rotating rectifier
In these types of systems, due to the turning of the rectifiers, the use of brushes or charcoal is removed and the output of the direct current of the oxide directly to the generator is applied. The design of these kind of systems is known as the brushless excitation system.
Primary alternating current propulsion systems used a combination of magnetic and rotary amplifier systems as regulators, but most other systems use electronic amplifiers.
3. Static flow stimulation systems
In this method, the generator excitation current is supplied from an external source, usually an independent source of battery. For proper use and prolong battery life, after the generator is launched, the source is extracted from the circuit and the generator's own power Using electronic devices, it replaces power.
The purpose of this excitation system is to create an intelligent system with standard components in a form that offers superb reliability and perfect performance.
The actuator control control system is designed to be installed on steam generators and gas generators. The AVR control and control system, regardless of the type of stimulation, can be installed on a variety of static and dynamic propulsion systems. Due to the needs of the employer, it is also possible to customize this system for different units.
After nearly two decades of experience in the manufacture of various electronic cards, the Ahar Power Company has been able to acquire specialized knowledge and experience by producing various excitation and designing systems, such as making Tabriz, Kish, Petrochemicals, Bandar Abbas and others. In this field, for the first time in the country, it will know the design and construction of generator control and protection systems for steam and gas power plants. Designing and implementing all of the power and control systems of the system and its implementation as a DCS system are part of the company's technical capabilities in this regard. The hardware and topology of these systems are largely based on the Siemens DCS technology in Germany.
