Dynamics with Brain Works

The excitation system of a synchronous generator enables to supply the energy of a drive engine (turbine) to the power grid. Therefore high priority is assigned to the reliability and availability in case of system choice of excitation systems. That goes particularly for: the supply of self-sufficient, regulated direct current for the rotor enabling synchronising by exact voltage regulation the support of the grid operation through reactive power regulation the increase of the block and network availability by intelligent limiters and additional automatic controllers Your Target Reduction of the maintenance work at AVR and rotating pilot exciters Minimisation of spare part storing Optimisation of the existing operation and control
....

Nowadays rotary pilot exciters are being replaced more and more by thyristor excitation systems. In case of still economically justifiable maintenance of pilot exciters and when there is no high requests on the regulation dynamics and on the improvement of the efficiency, the operation performance improvement can be achieved by exchanging an existing voltage regulator with a modern, digital multi-function automatic controller.

The renewal of the excitation system achieves a quantity of advantages for the operation: Improvement of efficiency Higher availability of the system by: - fewer outages Actual Value Sensing
Single or three-phase voltage sensing, with active and reactivecurrent compensation for high initial response and stability during no-load, isolated and parallel operation.

- more rapid trouble-shooting by diagnostic possibilities - improved regulation characteristics - intelligent regulator limiters (generator stays within its limit values) - reduced maintenance actions Higher control comfort by: - improved overview during operation locally

Success integrated.

Machine Configurations
With DC exciter machine: Low exciter output ratings, positive and negative field and rotor voltages possible.

- graphic visualisation on PC - increase of functionality of the logic possible - higher test- and controllability - communication via Ethernet Fewer pollution, dust and mechanical problems by removal of exciter converter or the DC-pilot exciter Modern design With new installations you have all advantages mentioned from beginning.

With AC exciter machine: Low exciter output ratings, positive rotor voltages possible, no carbon brushes, therefore no pollution. Static excitation: Positive and negative rotor voltages ensure high response, on account of direct access to rotor; the same thyristor set can also be used for dynamic braking.
