THYNE1 Model for Power System Stability Studies
The excitation system has an external supply voltage which can either be modeled as a constant
voltage source VSup or a shunt field connection with VSup = VT feeding the excitation transformer with
a ratio of KT. The amplification of the rectifier (diode bridge) is KF. Hence, the IGBT chopper con-
verter allows for a maximum output voltage of UE,max = KF KT in p.u. and a minimum of UE,min = 0. If the
control output is negative, i.e. VCT<0, the free-wheeling circuit becomes active and a negative output
voltage UE can be applied. The free-wheeling resistance is modeled as KFW in p.u.
Depending of the type size of the THYNE1 the internal de-excitation resistor has the following val-
ues: THYNE1-8 Ampere: RFW=15 Ohm, THYNE1-15 Ampere: RFW=8,2 Ohm, THYNE1-25 Ampere:
RFW=5 Ohm. KFW =RFW/Rag were RFW is the THYNE1-free wheel resistor in Ohms an RFag is the air gap
resistance at defined reference temperature, in Ohms. The exciter air-gap field resistance is de- rived
from the exciter air-gap field current and exciter air-gap field voltage. Note for for tests with very small
field current (see last page of this document). For some special tests the free-wheeling resistor can
be set to zero ohms.
The re-normalization factor KN is used to calculate from the generator per unit system (no-load air-
gap) to the excitation per unit system (nominal power factor).

The block diagram of the thermal limiter is illustrated in Figure 6. Two separate time constants for the
delayed signals of the stator current and field current as well as the hysteresis can be chosen. The
controller is an integrator with two different time constants, i.e. TI1 for raising or lowering if the limiter
becomes active and TI2 for resetting the limiter. The corresponding parameters can be found in Table
11.

THYNE1 Model for Power System Stability Studies
The IEEE 421.5-2016 AC9C model can be used to represent the math model implemented in THYNE1. The
THYNE1 facto KN for the nomralisation to nominal field current is not usedin the IEE representation. Also VPU in
the THYNE1 representation must be used to calculate the IEE model parameter KPR, KIR and KDR. The IEEE
model and thecorresponding text is cited in this chapter ([6] ReferenceIEEE 421.5-2016 page33-3). The IEEE model
is availablein SIEMENSPSSE simulation softwaresince PSSVersion 34.4 or the module cataloguecan typically be
updated. The PSSEmodel nameis AC9CU1. The IEEE model ‘‘ Vc’’ input in PSSEhasvariablename‘‘ Ecomp’’.
The block diagram of the excitation system AC9C from IEEE421.5-2016 is shown in Figure 8.
The AC9C model may be applied to excitation systems consisting of an ac alternator with either stationary or rotating
rectifiers (Glaninger- Katschnig, Nowak, Bachle, and Taborda [5]). The user-selected logic switch SW1determines if
the power source of the controlled rectifier is derived from terminal voltage and current (position ‘‘ A’’) or is
independent of the terminal voltage (position ‘‘ B’’). The function FEX1 is the same function FEX shown in
Annex D, but the input to the functions IN1 and IN2 should be the exciter field current VFE instead of the
generator field current IFD. Depending on the actual implementation of the potential and current source, the
contribution factor is either multiplied or summed to the power stage output.
Themodel consists of a PID type voltageregulator followed by a PI current regulator in cascade. The
model is based on IEC 60034-16-1991 Part 2 E.5 [3]. Both regulator blockshavenon-windup limits.
The compensated terminal voltage VC (see IEEE 421.5-2016 Figure 2), the power system stabilizer (PSS) output sig-
nal VS, and the voltage reference value VREF are applied to the summing point at the input to the voltage regulator.
Thelimiter signals, from the overexcitation limiter VOELand theunderexcitation limiter VUEL, aretypically
summedinto the input of thecurrent regulator.
Thepower stagecontrol characteristic is represented by the gain KA. Thetime constant TA representsthe
time delay caused by the gate control unit and the power stage. The power stage consists either of a
thyristor converter bridge or achopper converter.
Theparameter SCTis provided to allow theselection of the power stagetype, either a thyristor or a chopper
converter. In the logic shown in Figure 8, if the parameter SCTis different than 0, it represents a thyristor
converter. When the parameter SCTis set to 0 it represents a chopper converter, and the negative voltage
field forcing limit is dependent on the free wheel factor KFW.
The free wheel factor KFW can be calculated as in the following Equation:
KFW =RFW/Rag
Where
RFag is the exciter air-gap field resistance, at a defined reference temperature, in ohms
Theexciter air-gap field resistanceis derived from the exciter air-gap field current and exciter air-gap field
voltage.
The user-selected logic switch SW1determines if the power source of the controlled rectifier is derived
from terminal voltage and current (position ‘‘ A’’) or is independent of the terminal voltage (position ‘‘ B’’ ).
Thefunctions FEX1 and FEX2are the sameasfunction FEXshown in Annex D. Theinput to thefunctions IN1
and IN2 is theexciter field current VFE instead of the generator field current IFD.
Depending on theactual implementation of the potential and current source, thecontribution factor is either
multiplied or summed to the power stage output. The summation component (VB2) corresponds to a
compound power source derived from generator terminal current via a separate series diode bridge. It can
be disabled by setting the parameter KI2 equal to zero. The lower limit applied to the signal VI was
introduced to prevent a possibledivision by zero in the calculation of IN2. Thereare at least two possibilities
that could lead to such division by zero: theparameter KI2 is equal to zero or the simulation correspondsto
an open-circuit condition, so IT = 0.

For some model validation tests very small field currents may be applied.
Following hardware modifications can be carried out.
Such modifications may only be performed be specialized personal.
After the tests the original condition has to be established.
The number of windings on the “HAL effect sensor” for the field current measurement can be increased to
provide a “nominal” value for the HAL sensor and the voltage regulator and a practical signal resolution.
The de-excitation resistor can to be increased or de-creased to provide a realistic negative field voltage for de-
excitation during normal operation. For that purpose the unit has to be opened. One pole of the inner de-
excitation resistor has to be disconnected an isolated and an external resistor can be installed. It is dangerous
to operate the unit without the connected external discharge resistor because this can produce over voltages.
Also the resistance has to be adapted so that it can dissipate the energy and over voltages during operation.
If such changes are carried out they shall be marked on the THYNE1 unit.

In the following the parameter representation used in SIEMENS PSSE Version 34.3 is shown. The model is
based on IEE421.5-2016 AC9C. The parameters are identical to the IEEE model. It shall be noted the parame-
ters in THYNE1 deviate by the factor KN from the THYNE1 math model representation of figure 2, because the
parameters in THYNE1 are based on the nominal field current. THYNE1 is using a common proportional ampli-
fication (VPU with KDU and TNU) for the voltage regulator, which can be recalculated to the IEEE/PSSE repre-
sentation of KPR, KIR and KDR. VSCLCUM, VUELSCL, VOELSCL, although shown in the model diagram as
per IEEE 421.5 standard, these they are not used in the PSSE model. For OEL, UEL and SCL flag options, the
ICON value can be 1 through 3 with description as follows:, a. 1: Position (a), b. 2: Position (b), c. 3: Position (c)
3. For PSS flag options, the ICON value can be 1 or 2 with description as follows: 1: Position (a), b. 2: Position
(b).
