Preface
It is well over thirty years since some of the early versions of this book were used in our
classes, and it is more than a quarter of a century since the first edition appeared in print. Nor-
mally, one would have expected users of the book to almost give it up as old-fashioned. Yet, un-
til very recently the questions the authors were frequently asked explained the rationale for the
added material in this edition, especially by new users: When will the Second Edition be out?
Over these past thirty years the size of the systems analyzed in stability studies, the scope
of the studies (including the kind of answers sought), the duration of the transients analyzed,
and the methods of solution may have varied, but central to all is that the proper system model
must be used. Such a model must be based on description of the physical system and on its be-
havior during the transient being analyzed.
This book has focused on modeling the power system components for analysis of the
electromechanical transient, perhaps with emphasis on the inertial transient. The one possible
exception reflects the concern of the time the book came into being, namely analysis of the lin-
ear system model for detection and mitigation of possible poorly damped operating conditions.
Since the 1970s, several trends made stability of greater concern to power system engi-
neers. Because of higher cost of money and delay of transmission construction because of envi-
ronmental litigations, the bulk power system has experienced more congestion in transmission,
more interdependence among networks, and so on. To maintain stability, there has been more
dependence on discreet supplementary controls, greater need for studying larger systems, and
analysis of longer transients. Since then, additional models were needed for inclusion in stabili-
ty studies: turbine governors, power plants, discrete supplementary controls, etc. Thus, the need
for modeling the power system components that make up mechanical torque has become more
important than ever. The authors think it is time to meet this need, as was originally planned.
Now that the electric utility industry is undergoing major restructuring, the question arises
as to whether the trend that started in the 1970s is likely to continue, at least into the near future.
Many power system analysts believe that the answer to this question is yes.
Since the revised printing of this book appeared, the electric utility industry has undergone
a significant restructuring, resulting in heavier use of the bulk power transmission for interre-
gional transactions. It is expected that new engineering emphasis will be given to what engi-
neers refer to as mid-term or long-term analysis. We believe that in the restructured environ-
ment, this type of analysis will continue be needed because there will be greater emphasis on
providing answers about system limitations to all parties involved in the various activities as
well as in the interregional transactions. Modeling of mechanical torque will be important in
conducting these studies.
The material on the "mechanical torque" presented in Chapters 10 through 13 and in Ap-
pendices F through J are the work of author Paul Anderson and he should be contacted regard-
ing any questions, corrections, or other information regarding these portions of the book. This
material is a bit unusual to include in a book on power system stability and control, but we have
recognized that a complete picture of stability and the supporting mathematical models cannot

Power System Stability
1.1 Introduction
Since the industrial revolution man's demand for and consumption of energy has
increased steadily. The invention of the induction motor by Nikola Tesla in 1888 sig-
naled the growing importance of electrical energy in the industrial world as well as its
use for artificial lighting. A major portion of the energy needs of a modern society is
supplied in the form of electrical energy.
Industrially developed societies need an ever-increasing supply of electrical power,
and the demand on the North American continent has been doubling every ten years.
Very complex power systems have been built to satisfy this increasing demand. The
trend in electric power production is toward an interconnected network of transmission
lines linking generators and loads into large integrated systems, some of which span en-
tire continents. Indeed, in the United States and Canada, generators located thousands
of miles apart operate in parallel.
This vast enterprise of supplying electrical energy presents many engineering prob-
lems that provide the engineer with a variety of challenges. The planning, construction,
and operation of such systems become exceedingly complex. Some of the problems
stimulate the engineer's managerial talents; others tax his knowledge and experience in
system design. The entire design must be predicated on automatic control and not on
the slow response of human operators. To be able to predict the performance of such
complex systems, the engineer is forced to seek ever more powerful tools of analysis and
synthesis.
This book is concerned with some aspects of the design problem, particularly the
dynamic performance, of interconnected power systems. Characteristics of the various
components of a power system during normal operating conditions and during dis-
turbances will be examined, and effects on the overall system performance will be
analyzed. Emphasis will be given to the transient behavior in which the system is de-
scribed mathematically by ordinary differential equations.
The transient following a system perturbation is oscillatory in nature; but if the sys-
tem is stable, these oscillations will be damped toward a new quiescent operating con-
dition. These oscillations, however, are reflected as fluctuations in the power flow over
the transmission lines. If a certain line connecting two groups of machines undergoes
excessive power fluctuations, it may be tripped out by its protective equipment thereby
disconnecting the two groups of machines. This problem is termed the stability of the
tie line, even though in reality it reflects the stability of the two groups of machines.
A statement declaring a power system to be "stable" is rather ambiguous unless
the conditions under which this stability has been examined are clearly stated. This in-
cludes the operating conditions as well as the type of perturbation given to the system.
The same thing can be said about tie-line stability. Since we are concerned here with
the tripping of the line, the power fluctuation that can be tolerated depends on the
initial operating condition of the system, including the line loading and the nature of the
impacts to which it is subjected. These questions have become vitally important with
the advent of large-scale interconnections. In fact, a severe (but improbable) distur-
bance can always be found that will cause instability. Therefore, the disturbances for
which the system should be designed to maintain stability must be deliberately selected.
Definition: If the oscillatory response of a power system during the transient period
following a disturbance is damped and the system settles in a finite time to a new
steady operating condition, we say the system is stable. If the system is not stable, it
is considered unstable.
This primitive definition of stability requires that the system oscillations be damped.
This condition is sometimes called asymptotic stability and means that the system con-
tains inherent forces that tend to reduce oscillations. This is a desirable feature in many
systems and is considered necessary for power systems.
The definition also excludes continuous oscillation from the family of stable sys-
tems, although oscillators are stable in a mathematical sense. The reason is practical
since a continually oscillating system would be undesirable for both the supplier and the
user of electric power. Hence the definition describes a practical specification for an ac-
ceptable operating condition.

I. In the United States the regional committees of the National Electric Reliability Council (N ERC)
specify the contingencies against which the system must be proven stable.
Power System Stability 7
ments of the two problems. In support of this viewpoint the following points are
pertinent.
First, the availability of high-speed digital computers and modern modeling tech-
niques makes it possible to represent any component of the power system in almost any
degree of complexity required or desired. Thus questionable simplifications or assump-
tions are no longer needed and are often not justified.
Second, and perhaps more important, in a large interconnected system the full
effect of a disturbance is felt at the remote parts some time after its occurrence, perhaps
a few seconds. Thus different parts of the interconnected system will respond to lo-
calized disturbances at different times. Whether they will act to aid stability is difficult
to predict beforehand. The problem is aggravated if the initial disturbance causes
other disturbances in neighboring areas due to power swings. As these conditions
spread, a chain reaction may result and large-scale interruptions of service may occur.
However, in a large interconnected system, the effect of an impact must be studied over
a relatively long period, usually several seconds and in some cases a few minutes. Per-
formance of dynamic stability studies for such long periods will require the simulation
of system components often neglected in the so-called transient stability studies.
As random power impacts occur during the normal operation of a system, this
added power must be supplied by the generators. The portion supplied by the different
generators under different conditions depends upon electrical proximity to the position
of impact, energy stored in the rotating masses, governor characteristics, and other
factors. The machines therefore are never truly at steady state except when at standstill.
Each machine is in continuous oscillation with respect to the others due to the effect of
these random stimuli. These oscillations are reflected in the flow of power in the trans-
mission lines. If the power in any line is monitored, periodic oscillations are observed
to be superimposed on the steady flow. Normally, these oscillations are not large and
hence not objectionable.
The situation in a tie line is different in one sense since it connects one group of
machines to another. These two groups are in continuous oscillation with respect to
each other, and th is is reflected in the power flow over the tie line. The situation may
be further complicated by the fact that each machine group in turn is connected to other
groups. Thus the tie line under study may in effect be connecting two huge systems. In
this case the smallest oscillatory adjustments in the large systems are reflected as sizable
power oscillations in the tie line. The question then becomes, To what degree can these
oscillations be tolerated?
The above problem is entirely different from that of maintaining a scheduled
power interchange over the tie line: control equipment can be provided to perform this
function. These controllers are usually too slow to interfere with the dynamic oscilla-
tions mentioned above. To alter these oscillations, the dynamic response of the com-
ponents of the overall interconnected system must be considered. The problem is not
only in the tie line itself but also in the two systems it connects and in the sensitivity of
control in these systems. The electrical strength (admittance) or capacity of the tie
cannot be divorced from this problem. For example, a 40-MW oscillation on a
400-MW tie is a much less serious problem than the same oscillation on a lOO-MW tie.
The oscillation frequency has an effect on the damping characteristics of prime movers,
8 Chapter 1
exciters, etc. Therefore, there is a minimum size of tie that can be effectively made from
the viewpoint of stability.

Power System Stability 9
When the impact is large, the speeds of all machines change so that they are
sensed by their speed governors. Machines under load frequency control will correct
for the power change. Until this correction is made, each machine's share will depend
on its regulation or droop characteristic. Thus the controlled machines are the ones re-
sponsible for maintaining the system frequency. The dynamics of the transition period,
however, are important. The key parameters are the governor dynamic characteristics.
In addition, the flow of the tie Jines may be altered slightly. Thus some machines
are assigned the requirement of maintaining scheduled flow in the ties. Supplementary
controls are provided to these machines, the basic functions of which are to permit each
control area to supply a given load. The responses of these controls are relatively slow
and their time constants are on the order of seconds. This is appropriate since the
scheduled economic loading of machines is secondary in importance to stability.
simulate each component by its transfer function. The various transfer function blocks
are connected to represent the system under study. The system performance may then
be analyzed by such methods as root-locus plots, frequency domain analysis (Nyquist
criteria), and Routh's criterion.
The above methods have been frequently used in studies pertaining to small systems
or a small number of machines. For larger systems the state-space model has been used
more frequently in connection with system studies described by linear differential equa-
tions. Stability characteristics may be determined by examining the eigenvalues of the
A matrix, where A is defined by the equation
x=Ax+Bu ( 1.1 )
where x is an n vector denoting the states of the system and A is a coefficient matrix.
The system inputs are represented by the r vector u, and these inputs are related mathe-
matically to differential equations by an n x r matrix B. This description has the ad-
vantage that A may be time varying and u may be used to represent several inputs
if necessary.
The system eq uations for a transient stabi lity study are usually non linear. Here the
system is described by a large set of coupled nonlinear differential equations of the form
x= f'(x, u, t) ( 1.2)
where f is an n vector of nonlinear functions.
Determining the dynamic behavior of the system described by (1.2) is a more diffi-
cult task than that of the linearized system of (1.1). Usually time solutions of the non-
linear differential equations are obtained by numerical methods with the aid of digital
computers, and this is the method usually used in power system stability studies.
Stability of synchronous machines is usually decided by behavior of their rotor angles,
as discussed in Section 1.4.1. More recently, modern theories of stability of nonlinear
systems have been applied to the study of power system transients to determine the
stability of synchronous machines without obtaining time solutions. Such efforts,
while they seem to offer considerable promise, are still in the research stage and not in
common use. Both linear and nonlinear equations will be developed in following
chapters.

The Elementary Mathematical Model
A stable power system is one in which the synchronous machines, when perturbed,
will either return to their original state if there is no net change of power or will acquire
a new state asymptotically without losing synchronism. Usually the perturbation causes
a transient that is oscillatory in nature; but if the system is stable, the oscillations will
be damped.
The question then arises, What quantity or signal, preferably electrical, would
enable us to test for stability? One convenient quantity is the machine rotor angle
measured with respect to a synchronously rotating reference. If the difference in angle
between any two machines increases indefinitely or if the oscillatory transient is not
sufficiently damped, the system is unstable. The principal subject of this chapter is the
study of stability based largely on machine-angle behavior.
2. 1 Swing Equation
The swing equation governs the motion of the machine rotor relating the inertia
torque to the resultant of the mechanical and electrical torques on the rotor; i.e., I
Jij = To Nvrn (2.1)
where J is the moment of inertia in kg- rn? of all rotating masses attached to the shaft,
() is the mechanical angle of the shaft in radians with respect to fixed reference, anda
To is the accelerating torque in newton meters (N m) acting on the shaft. (See Kim-
bark [1] for an excellent discussion of units and a dimensional analysis of this equa-
tion.) Since the machine is a generator, the driving torque T; is mechanical and the
retarding or load torque T, is electrical. Thus we write
(2.2)
which establishes a useful sign convention, namely, that in which a positive T; ac-
celerates the shaft, whereas a positive T, is a decelerating torque. The angular refer-
ence may be chosen relative to a synchronously rotating reference frame moving with

Another form of (2.4) that is sometimes useful is obtained by multiplying both sides
by W m , the shaft angular velocity in rad/s, Recalling that the product of torque T and
angular velocity W is the shaft power P in watts, we have
(2.5)
The quantity JW m is called the inertia constant and is denoted by M. (See Kimbark
(I] pp. 22-27 and Stevenson [2], pp. 336-40 for excellent discussions of the inertia
constant.) It is related to the kinetic energy of the rotating masses W k , where
Wi = (1/2)Jw~joules. Then Miscomputedas
Angular Momentum = M = JOO m = 2 Wk/oo m Js (2.6)
It may seem rather strange to call M a constant since it depends upon w, which
certainly varies during a transient. On the other hand the angular frequency does not
change by a large percentage before stability is lost. To illustrate: for 60 Hz, W m =
377 rad/s, and a 1% change in W m is equal to 3.77 rad/s, A constant slip of 1% of the
value of w", for one second will change the angle of the rotor by 3.77 rad. Certainly,
this would lead to loss of synchronism.
The equation of motion of the rotor is called the swing equation. It is given in
the literature in the form of (2.4) or in terms of power,
(2.7)
where M is in J. S, Om is in rad, W m is in rad/s, and P is in W.
In relating the machine inertial performance to the network, it would be more
useful to write (2.7) in terms of an electrical angle that can be conveniently related
to the position of the rotor. Such an angle is the torque angle ,0, which is the angle
between the field MM F and the resultant MM F in the air gap, both rotating at syn-
chronous speed. It is also the electrical angle between the generated EM F and the
resultant stator voltage phasors.
The torque angle 0, which is the same as the electrical angle O~, is related to
the rotor mechanical angle Om (measured: from a synchronously rotating frame) by
(2.8)
where p is the number of poles. (In Europe the practice is to write o~ = POm' where p is
the number of pole pairs.)
2. The subscript R is used to mean "rated" for all quantities including speed, which is designated as
WI in ANSI standards ANSI Y10.5, 1968. Hence WR = WI in every case.
The Elementary Mathematical Model 15
For simplicity we drop the subscript e and write simply 0, which is always under-
stood to be the electrical angle defined by (2.8).
From (2.7) and (2.8) we write
(2M/p)5 = (2M/p)w = Po W (2.9)
which relates the accelerating power to the electrical angle 0 and to the angular velocity
of the revolving magnetic field w.
In most problems of interest there will be a large number of equations like (2.9),
one for each generator shaft (and motor shaft too if the motor is large enough to
warrant detailed representation). In such large systems problems we find it convenient
to normalize the power equations by dividing all equations by a common three-phase
voltarnpere base quantity S B3. Then (2.9) becomes a per unit (pu) equation
(2.10)
where M, p, 0, and ware in the same units as before; but P is now in pu (noted by
the subscript u).
2.2 Units
It has been the practice in the United States to provide inertial data for rotating
machines in English units. The machine nameplate usually gives the rated shaft speed
in revolutions per minute (r /rnin). The form of the swing equation we use must be
in M KS units (or pu) but the coefficients, particularly the moments of inertia, will
usually be derived from a mixture of MKS and English quantities.
We begin with the swing equation in N m
(2J jp)~ = (2Jjp)w = To N m (2.11)
Now normalize this equation by dividing by a base quantity equal to the rated torque
at rated speed:
(2.12)
where SB3 is the three-phase V A rating and nR is the rated shaft speed in r Imino'
Dividing (2.11) by (2.12) and substituting f20/R InR for p, we compute
(J1r 2ni / 900wRSa3)w = TalTa = Tau pu (2.13)
where we have substituted the base system radian frequency WR = 21r fR for the base
frequency. Note that w in (2.13) is in rad/s and Tau is in pu.
The U.S. practice has been to supply J, the moment of inertia, as a quantity usually
called WR 2, given in units of Ibm- ft 2 The consistent English unit for J is slug- ft 2 or
WR /g where g is the acceleration of gravity (32.17398 ft/s"). We compute the cor-

The quantity H is often given for a particular machine normalized to the base VA rating
for that machine. This is convenient since these machine-normalized H quantities are
usually predictable in size and can be estimated for machines that do not physically
exist. Curves for estimating H are given in Figures 2.1 and 2.2. The quantities taken
from these curves must be modified for use in system studies by converting from the
machine base VA to the system base VA. Thus we compute
H sys = H mach (S BJmach/ S B3sys ) S (2.19)
The value of H mach is usually in the range of 1-5 s. Values for H sys vary over a much
wider range. With SB3syS = 100 MVA values of H sys from a few tenths of a second
(for small generators) to 25-30 s (for large generators) will often be used in the same
study. Typical values of J (in MJ) are given in Appendix D.

we compute, using the definition of the differential,
mechanical torque is adjusted accordingly. This occurs under normal operating condi-
tions and during disturbances.
To be stable under normal conditions, the torque speed characteristic of the turbine
speed control system should have a "droop characteristic"; i.e., a drop in turbine
speed should accompany an increase in load. Such a characteristic is shown in Fig-
ure 2.3(b). A typical "droop" or "speed regulation" characteristic is 5% in the United
States (4/~ in Europe). This means that a load pickup from no load (power) to full
load (power) would correspond to a speed drop of 5% if the speed load characteristic
is assumed to be linear. The droop (regulation) equation is derived as follows: from
Figure 2.3(b), Tm = Tmo + Tm~, and TmtJ. = -wtJ./R, where R is the regulation in rad/
Nvrn-s. Thus
T; = Tmo - (w - wR)/R Nv m (2.25)
Multiplying (2.25) by WR, we can write
Pm ~ TmWR = PmO - (wR/R)w~ (2.26)

where the pu regulation R; is derived from (2.28) or
R" ~ SsR/w~ pu (2.29)
As previously mentioned, R" is usually set at 0.05 in the United States.
We also note that the "effective" regulation in a power system could be appreciably
different from the value 0.05 if some of the machines are not under active governor
control. IfLSB is the sum of the ratings of the machines under governor control, and
L SSB is the sum of the ratings of all machines, then the effective pu regulation is
given by
(2.30)
Similarly, if a system base other than that of the machine is used in a stability
study, the change in mechanical power in pu on the system base PmAs" is given by
PmtJ.s" = - (SswtJ.u/SsBR,,) pu (2.31 )
A block diagram representing (2.28) and (2.31) is shown in Figure 2.4 where
K = SS/SsB
The droop characteristic shown in Figure 2.3(b) is obtained in the speed control
system with the help of feedback. It will be shown in Part III that without feedback
the speed control mechanism is unstable. Finally, we should point out that the steady-
state regulation characteristic determines the ultimate contribution of each machine
to a change in load in the power system and fixes the resulting system frequency
error.

During transients the discrepancy between the mechanical and electrical torques
for the various machines results in speed changes. The speed control mechanism for
each machine under active governor control will attempt to adjust its output accord-
ing to its regulation characteristic. Two points can be made here:
I. For a particular machine the regulation characteristic for a small (and sudden)
change in speed may be considerably different in magnitude from its overall average
regulation .
2. In attempting to adjust the mechanical torque to correspond to the speed change,
time lags are introduced by the various delays in the feedback elements of the speed
control system and in the steam paths; therefore, the dynamic response of the turbine
could be appreciably different from that indicated by the steady-state regulation
characteristics. This subject will be dealt with in greater detail in Part III.
A simpler mathematical model, which may be used for stability studies, divides the
electrical torque into two main components, the synchronous torque and a second com-
ponent that includes all other electrical torques. We explore this concept briefly as an
aid to understanding the generator behavior during transients.
3. A phasor is indicated with a bar above the symbol for the rrns quantity. For example if I is 'the

corresponding time quantity ;(t) by ;(t) = (R-e(VIle Jwt ) = VII cos (wt + 8) = (J> -I'(/e J8 ) .

the difference between direct and quadrature axis reluctances are overlooked in this
simple representation. But (2.32) is essentially correct for a round rotor machine at
steady state. Equation (2 .32) indicates that if E, V, and x are constant, Et/] is a
constant that we may designate as PM to write P = PM sin 0; and the power output of
the machine is a function only of the angle 0 associated with E, Note that E can be
chosen to be any convenient EM F, not necessarily the excitation voltage; but then the
appropriate x and 0 must be defined accordingly .
When a change in the network occurs suddenly, the flux linkage (and hence E') will
not change , but currents will be produced in the armature; hence other currents will be
induced in the various rotor circuits to keep this flux linkage constant. Both the arma-
ture and rotor currents will usually have ac and de components as required to match
the ampere -turns of various coupled coils. The flux will decay according to the effective
time constant of the field circuit. At no load this time constant is on the order of sev-
eral seconds, while under load it is reduced considerably but still on the order of one
second or higher.
From the above we can see that for a period of less than a second the natural char -
acteristic of the field winding of the synchronous machine tends to maintain constant
flux linkage and hence constant E' . Exciters of the conventional type do not usually
respond fast enough and their ceilings are not high enough to appreciably alter "this
picture. Furthermore, it has been observed that during a disturbance the combined
effect of the armature reaction and the excitation system is to help maintain constant
flux linkage for a period of a second or two. This period is often considered adequate
for determin ing the stability of the machine . Thus in some stability stud ies the assump-
tion is commonly made that the main field flux linkage of a machine is constant.
The main field-winding flux is almost the same as a fictitious flux that would create
an EMF behind the machine direct axis transient reactance. The model used for the
synchronous machine is shown in Figure 2.6, where x; is the direct axis transient
reactance.

The constant voltage source Ell. is determined from the initial conditions, i.e.
pretransient conditions . During the transient the magnitude E is held constant, while
the angle 0 is considered as the angle between the rotor position and the terminal
voltage V.
Example 2.1
For the circuit of Figure 2.6 let V = 1.0 pu, x d = 0.2 pu. and the machine initially
operating at P = 0.8 pu at 0.8 PF.
Solution
Using Vas reference. V = I.OLQ
10 = 1.01-36.9 = 0.8 - jO.6
E = Ell. = 1.0 + jO.2(0.8 - jO.6)
= 1.12 + jO.16 = 1.1314 /'8.13
The magnitude of E is 1.1314. This will be held constant during the transient, although 8
may vary. The initial value of 8. called 80 , is 8 .13 .
24 Chapter 2
During the transient period, assuming that V is held constant, the machine power as
a function of the angle 0 is also given by a power-angle curve. Thus
P = (EVjXd) sin 0 = PMsino (2.33)
For the example given above PM = 1.1314/0.2 = 5.657.

Example 2.2
A two-pole synchronous machine is connected to an infinite bus with voltage V
through a reactance x as in Figure 2.5(a). The voltage E remains constant, and a small
change in speed is given to the machine (the rotor is given a small twist); i.e.,
W = Wo + fU(t), where u(t) is a unit step function. Let the resulting angle change be
06. Let the damping be negligible. Compute the change in angle as a function of time
and determine its frequency of oscillation.
Solution
From (2.10) we write M~/SB3 + P, = Pm. But we let fJ = 00 + fJ A such that ~ = ~A
and P, = PeO + Pe6 ; Pm is constant. Then M~6/SB3 + PeA = Pm - PeO = 0 since
50 = O. From (2.37) for small 06 we write Pe6 = Ps0 6 , where from (2.36) P, is the
synchronizing power coefficient. Then the swing equation may be written as

which has the solution of the form

Equation (2.38) indicates that the angular frequency of oscillation of the synchronous
machine with respect to the rest of the power system is given by vi PsS B3 / M. This fre-
quency is usually referred to as the natural frequency 'of the synchronous machine.
Thus we conclude that each machine oscillates with respect to other machines, each
coherent group of machines oscillates with respect to other groups of machines , and
so on. The frequencies of oscillations depend on the synch ro nizing power coefficients
and on the inertia constants.
2.7 System of One Machine against an Infinite Bus- The Classical Model
An infinite bus is a source of invariable frequency and voltage (both in magnitude
and angle). A major bus of a power system of very large capacity compared to the rating
of the machine under consideration is approximately an infinite bus. The inertia of
the machines in a large system will make the bus voltage of many high-voltage buses
essentially constant for transients occurring outside that system.
Consider a power system consisting of one machine connected to an infinite bus
through a transmission line. A schematic representation of this system is shown in
Figure 2.7(a).

(b ) equ ivalent circuit.
The equation of motion of the rotor of the finite machine is given by the swing
equation (2.7) or (2.10). To obtain a time solution for the rotor angle, we need to
develop expressions for the mechanical and the electrical powers. In thi s sect ion the
simplest mathematical model is used. This model, which will be referred to as the
classical model, requires the following assumptions:
I. The mechanical power input remains constant during the period of the transient.
2. Damping or asynchronous power is negligible.
3. The synchronous machine can be represented (electrically) by a constant voltage
source behind a transient reactance (see Section 2.5.1).
4. The mechanical angle of the synchronous machine rotor coincides with the electrical
phase angle of the voltage behind transient reactance.
5. If a local load is fed at the terminal voltage of the machine, it can be represented by
a constant impedance (or admittance) to neutral.
The period of interest is the first swing of the rotor angle 0 and is usually on the
order of one second or less. At the start of the transient, and assuming that the impact
initiating the tr ansient creates a positive accelerating power on the machine rotor , the
rotor angle increases. If the rotor angle increases indefinitely, the machine loses
synchronism and stability is lost. If it reaches a maximum and then starts to decrease,
the resulting motion will be oscillatory and with constant amplitude. Thus according
to this model and the assumptions used, stability is decided in the first swing. (If
damping is present the amplitude will decrease with time, but in the classical model
there is very little damping.)

Fig. VI Equivalent circuit for a system of one machine against an infinite bus.
The equivalent electrical circuit for the system is given in Figure 2.7(b) . In Fig-
ure 2.7 we define
V, = terminal voltage of the synchronous machine
V= VLQ = voltage of the infinite bus, which is used as reference
Xd = direct axis transient reactance of the machine
Z TL series impedance of the transmission network (including transformers)
Z, = equivalent shunt impedance at the machine terminal, including local
loads if any
By using a Y-~ transformation , the node representing the terminal voltage V, in
Figure 2.7 can be eliminated. The nodes to be retained (in addition to the reference
node) are the internal voltage behind the tran sient reactance node and the infinite bus.
These are shown in Figure 2.8 as nodes I and 2 respectively . Also shown in Figure 2.8
are the admitt ances obtained by the network reduction. Note that while three admit-
tance elements are obtained (viz., YI2, YIO , and Y20), Y20 is omitted since it is not needed
in the analysis . The two-port network of Figure 2.8 is conveniently described by the
equation
(4.40)
The driving point admittance at node I is given by YII = YI I Lfu = YI2 + Y IO where we
use lower case y's to indicate actu al adm ittances and cap ital Y' s for matrix element s.
The negative of the transfer admitt ance Jil2 between nodes \ and 2 defines the admittance
matrix element (1,2) or YI 2 = Y12 !J...u.. = - Y 12'
From elementary network theory we can show that the power at node \ is given by
PI = ffi.eEfr or
d
Now define Gil = YII COSOIi and 'Y = 012 - rr/2, then
PI = E 2G II + EVYI 2 sin (0 - 'Y) = Pc + PM sin (0 - 'Y) (2.41)
The relation between PI and 0 in (2.4\) is shown in Figure 2.9.
Examining Figure 2.9, we note that the power-angle curve of a synchronous
machine connected to an infinite bus is a sine curve displaced from the origin vertically
by an amount Pc, which represents the power dissipation in the equivalent network, and
horizontally by the angle 'Y, which is determined by the real component of the transfer
admittance Y12 In the special case where the shunt load at the machine terminal V,
is open and where the tran smission network is reactive , we can easily prove that
Pc = 0 and 'Y = O. In this case the power-angle curve becomes identical to that given
in (2.33).

Example 2.3
A synchronous machine is connected to an infinite bus through a transformer and
a double circuit transmission line, as shown in Figure 2.10. The infinite bus voltage
V = 1.0 pu. The direct axis transient reactance of the machine is 0.20 pu, the trans-
former reactance is 0.10 pu, and the reactance of each of the transmission lines is
0.40 pu, all to a base of the rating of the synchronous machine. Initially, the machine
is delivering 0.8 pu power with a terminal voltage of 1.05 pu. The inertia constant
H = 5 MJ jMV A. All resistances are neglected. The equation of motion of the ma-
chine rotor is to be determined.
Solution
The equivalent circuit of the system is shown in Figure 2.11. For this system:
YI2 = IjjO.5 = -j2 .0 Y;. = -j2 .0
YIO = 0 0" = -1rj2
f. 2 = j2.0 012 = 1rj2
therefore, Pc = 0 and "I = O.
The electrical power is given by
P, = PI = Pc + EVY'2sin(~ - "I) = EVY'2sin~ 2Esin~
Since the initial power is p.o = 0.8 pu, then E sin ~o = 0.4.
To find the initial conditions, we solve the network of Figure 2.11. We have the
terminal condition
v= 1.0 ~ pu ~ = 1.05 L!!., pu P, = 0.8 pu
To find the angle of V;, we write, since resistance is zero,
PeO = 0.8 = (VV,/x)sinlJ,o = (1.05jO.30)sinlJ,o
sin (}'o = 0.8/3.5 = 0.2286
()'o = 13.21
0
Thus E = 1.111 is a constant that will be unchanged during the transient, and the
initial angel is 00 = 21.09 = 0.367 rad. We also may write
0
From this simple example we observe that the resulting swing equation is non-
linear and will be difficult to solve except by numerical methods. We now extend the
example to consider a fault on the system.
Example 2.4
Develop the equation of motion of the system of Figure 2.11 where a fault is applied
at the sending end (node 4) of the transmission line. For simplicity we will consider
a three-phase fault that presents a balanced impedance of jO.1 to neutral. The network
now is as shown in Figure 2.12, where admittances are used for convenience.
Solution
By Y-Ll transformation we compute
YI2 = - j (3.333 x 5)/18.333] = - jO.909
and since ~2 = -YI2, then Y;2 = jO.909. The electrical power output of the machine
is now
P, = (0.909 x 1.111)sin I) = 1.010sin 0

d[2 = 37.7[0.8 - (1.010 x 0.368)J = 16.45 rad/s!
Now let us assume that after some time the circuit breaker at the sending end of
the faulted line clears the fault by opening that line. The network now will have a series
reactance of jO.70 pu, and the new network (with fault cleared) will have a new value of
transfer admittance, Yl2 = j 1.429 pu . The new swing equation will be

Example 2.5
Calculate the angle 0 as a function of time for the system of Examples 2.3 and
2.4. Assume that the fault is cleared in nine cycles (0.15 s).
Solution
The equations for 0 were obtained in Example 2.4 for the faulted network and for
the system with the fault cleared. These equations are nonlinear; therefore, time solu-
tions will be obtained by numerical methods. A partial survey of these methods is
given in Appendix B.
To illustrate the procedure used in numerical integration, the modified Euler
method is used in this example. This method is outlined in Appendix B.
First, the swing equation is replaced by the two first-order differential equations:
~ = w(l) - WR (2.42)
The time domain is divided into increments called t::.l . With the values of 0 and wand
their derivatives known at some time I, an estimate is made of the values of these vari-
ables at the end of an interval of time t::.l, i.e., at time 1 + t::.l. These are called
the predicted values of the variables and are based only on the values of 0(1), w(l),
and their derivatives. From the calculated values of 0(1 + t::.l) and w(l + t::.l), values
of the derivatives at 1 + t::.l are calculated. A corrected value of 0(1 + t::.l) and
w(l + t::.l) is obtained using the mean derivative over the interval. The process can
be repeated until a desired precision is achieved. At the end of this repeated prediction
and correction a final value of 0(1 + t::.l) and w(l + t::.l) is obtained. The process is
then repeated for the next interval. The procedure is outlined in detail in Chapter 10
of [8J. From Example 2.4 the initial value of 0 is sin - I 0.368, and the equation

for w is given by
The results of the numerical integration of the system equations, performed with the
aid of a digital computer, are shown in Figure 2.13. The time solution is carried out
for two successive peaks of the angle o. The first peak of 48.2 is reached at t = 0.38 s,
after which 0 is decreased until it reaches a minimum value of about 13.2 at t = 0.82 s,
and the oscillation of the rotor angle () continues.
For the system under study and for the given impact, synchronism is not lost (since
the angle 0 does not increase indefinitely) and the synchronous machine is stable.

Equation (2.49) gives the relative speed of the machine with respect to a reference
frame moving at constant speed (by the definition of the angle 0). For stability this
speed must be zero when the acceleration is either zero or is opposing the rotor motion.
Thus for a rotor that is accelerating, the condition of stab ility is that a value Om..
exists such that p.(Om.. ) ~ 0, and

If the accelera ting power is plotted as a function of 0, equation (2 .50) can be inter-

ure 2.14(a) where the net area under the P, versus 5 curve adds to zero at the angle
omaxsince the two areas A I and A 2 are equal and opposite. Also at 5max the accelerating
power, and hence the rotor acceleration, is negative. Therefore, the system is stable and
omax is the maximum rotor angle reached during the swing.
If the accelerating power reverses sign before the two areas A I and A 2 are equal,
synchronism is lost. This situation is shown in Figure 2.14(b). The area A 2 is smaller
than A I' and as 0 increases beyond the value where P, reverses sign again, the area
A 3 is added to A I. The limit of stability occurs when the angle omax is such that
Pa(omax) = 0 and the areas A I and A 2 are equal. For this case omax coincides with the
angle Om on the power-angle curve with the fault cleared such that P = Pm and
() > tr/2.
Note that the accelerating power need not be plotted as a function of o. We can ob-
tain the same information if the electrical and mechanical powers are plotted as a func-
tion of o. The former is the power-angle curve discussed in Section 2.7, and in many
studies Pm is a constant. The accelerating power curve could have discontinuities due to
switching of the network, initiation of faults, and the like.

To illustrate the critical clearing angle, a more severe fault is used with the same
system and switching arrangement. A three-phase fault is applied to the same bus with
zero impedance. The faulted power-angle curve has zero amplitude. The prefault and

4. The Y matrix for each network condition is calculated. The following steps are
usually needed:
a. The equivalent load impedances (or admittances) are connected between the load
buses and the reference node; additional nodes are provided for the internal gen-
erator voltages (nodes I, 2, ... , n in Figure 2.17) and the appropriate values of
; are connected between these nodes and the generator terminal nodes. Also,
simulation of the fault impedance is added as required, and the admittance matrix
is determined for each switching condition.
b. All impedance elements are converted to admittances.
c. Elements of the Y matrix are identified as follows: ~i is the sum of all the ad-
mittances connected to node i, and ;j is the negative of the. admittance between
node i and nodej.
5. Finally, we eliminate all the nodes except for the internal generator nodes and ob-
tain the V matrix for the reduced network. The reduction can be achieved by matrix
operation if we recall that all the nodes have zero injection currents except for the in-
ternal generator nodes. This property is used to obtain the network reduction as
shown below.

Example 2.6
The technique of solving a classical transient stability problem is illustrated by con-
ducting a study of the nine-bus system, the data for which is given in Figures 2.18 and
2.19 and Table 2.1. The disturbance initiating the transient is a three-phase fault
occurring near bus 7 at the end of line 5-7. The fault is cleared in five cycles (0.083 s) by
opening line 5-7.
For the purpose of this study the generators are to be represented by the classical
model and the loads by constant impedances. The damping torques are neglected. The
system base is 100 MVA.
Make all the preliminary calculations needed for a transient stability study so that
all coefficients in (2.56) are known.
Solution
The objective of the study is to obtain time solutions for the rotor angles of the gen-
erators after the transient is introduced. These time solutions are called "swing curves."
In the classical model the angles of the generator internal voltages behind transient
reactances are assumed to correspond to the rotor angles. Therefore, mathematically,
we are to obtain a solution for the set of equations (2.56). The initial conditions, de-
noted by adding the subscript 0, are given by w;o = 0 and 0;0 obtained from (2.57).
Preliminary calculations (following the steps outlined in Section 2.10.2) are:
l. The system base is chosen to be 100 MVA. All impedance data are given to this base.

load A: YL5 = 1.2610 - jO.5044
load B: YL6 = 0.8777 - jO.2926
load C: YL8 = 0.9690 - jO.3391
3. The generator internal voltages and their initial angles are given in pu by
E,~ = 1.0566/2.2717
E2 & = 1.0502/19.7315

4. The Y matrix is obtained as outlined in Section 2.10.2, step 4. For convenience bus
numbers I, 2, and 3 are used to denote the generator internal buses rather than the
generator low-voltage terminal buses. Values for the generator Xd are added to the
reactance of the generator transformers. For example, for generator 2 bus 2 will be
the internal bus for the voltage behind transient reactance; the reactance between

tThe line shunt susceptances are added to the loads.
bus 2 and bus 7 is the sum of the generator and transformer reactances (0.1198 +
0.0625). The prefault network admittances including the load equivalents are given
in Table 2.2, and the corresponding Y matrix is given in Table 2.3. The y' matrix for
the faulted network and for the network with the fault cleared are similarly obtained.
The results are shown in Tables 2.4 and 2.5 respectively.
5. Elimination of the network nodes other than the generator internal nodes by net-
work reduction as outlined in step 5 is done by digital computer. The resulting re-
duced Y matrices are shown in Table 2.6 for the prefault network, the faulted net-
work, and the network with the fault cleared respectively.
We now have the values of the constant voltages behind transient reactances for
all three generators and the reduced Y matrix for each network. Thus all coefficients
of (2.56) are available.
Example 2.7
For the system and the transient of Example 2.6 calculate the rotor angles versus
time. The fault is cleared in five cycles by opening line 5-7 of Figure 2.18. Plot the
angles <5 t , <5 2 , and <5 3 and their difference versus time.
Solution
The problem is to solve the set of equations (2.56) for n = 3 and D = O. All the
coefficients for the faulted network and the network with the fault cleared have been
determined in Example 2.6. Since the set (2.56) is nonlinear, the desired time solutions
for <5 1, <5 2, and <5) are obtained by numerical integration. A brief survey of numerical
integration of differential equations is given in Appendix B. (For hand calculations

in Figure 2.22 where we can see that the system is stable. The maximum angle difference
is about 85 . This is the value of 021 at t = 0.43 s. Note that the solution is carried
out for two "swings" to show that the second swing is not greater than the first for
either 021 or 0JI ' To determine whether the system is stable or unstable for the par-
ticular transient under study, it is sufficient to carry out the time solution for one
swing only. If the rotor angles (or the angle differences) reach maximum values and
then decrease, the system is stable. If any of the angle differences increase indefinitely,
the system is unstable because at least one machine will lose synchronism.
questionable whether the effect of the control equipment can be neglected during these
longer periods. Indeed there have been recorded transients caused by large impacts,
resulting in loss of synchronism after the system machines had undergone several oscil-
lations. Another aspect is the dynamic instability problem, where growing oscillations
have occurred on tie lines connecting different power pools or systems. As this situation
has developed, it has also become increasingly important to ensure the security of the
bulk power supply. This has made many engineers realize it is time to reexamine the
assumptions made in stability studies. This view is well stated by Ray and Ship-
ley [14]:
We have reached a time when it is appropriate that we appraise the state of the Art of Dynamic
Stability Analysis. In conjunction with this we must:
I. Expand our knowledge of the characteristic time response of our system loads to changes in
voltage and frequency-develop new dynamic models of system loads.
2. Re-examine old concepts and develop new ideas on changes in system networks to improve
system stability.
3. Update our knowledge of the response characteristics of the various components of energy
systems and their controls (boilers, reactors, turbine governors, generator regulators, field
excitation, etc.)
4. Reformulate our analytical techniques to adequately simulate the time variation of all of the
foregoing factors in system response and accurately determine dynamic system response.
Let us now make a critical appraisal of some of the assumptions made in the classi-
cal model:
I. Transient stability is decided in the first swing. A large system having many machines
will have numerous natural frequencies of oscillations. The capacities of most of the
tie lines are comparatively small, with the result that some of these frequencies are
quite low (frequencies of periods in the order of 5-6 s are not uncommon). It is
quite possible that the worst swing may occur at an instant in time when the peaks of
some of these nodes coincide. It is therefore necessary in many cases to study the
transient for a period longer than one second.
2. Constant generator main field-winding flux linkage. This assumption is suspect on two
counts, the longer period that must now be considered and the speed of many
modern voltage regulators. The longer period, which may be comparable to the
field-winding time constant, means that the change in the main field-winding flux
may be appreciable and should be accounted for so that a correct representation of
the system voltage is realized. Furthermore, the voltage regulator response could
have a significant effect on the field-winding flux. We conclude from this discussion
that the constant voltage behind transient reactance could be very inaccurate.
3. Neglecting the damping powers. A large system will have relatively weak ties. In
the spring-mass analogy used above, this is a rather poorly damped system. It is
important to account for the various components of the system damping to obtain a
correct model that will accurately predict its dynamic performance, especially in loss
of generation studies [8].
4. Constant mechanical power. If periods on the order of a few seconds or greater are
of interest, it is unrealistic to assume that the mechanical power will not change.
The turbine-governor characteristics, and perhaps boiler characteristics should be in-
cluded in the analysis.
5. Representing loads by constant passive impedance. Let us illustrate in a qualitative
manner the effect of such representation. Consider a bus having a voltage V to
which a load PL + jQL is connected. Let the load be represented by the static ad-
The Elementary Mathematical Model 47
Finally, in an interconnected system there is a master controller for each system . This
sends a unit dispatch signal (UDS) to each generator and adjusts this signal to meet the
load demand or the scheduled tie-line power. It is designed to be quite slow so that it
is usually not involved in a consideration of mechanical dynamics of the shaft. Thus in
most of our work we can consider the speed reference or governor speed changer
(GSC) position to be a constant. In an isolated system the speed reference is the desired
system speed and is set mechanically in the governor mechanism. as will be shown later.
In addition to the three control systems, three transfer functions are of vital im-
portance. The first of these is the generator transfer function. The generator equations
are nonlinear and the transfer function is a linearized approximation of the behavior of
the generator terminal voltage V, near a quiescent operating point or equilibrium state.
The load equations are also nonlinear and reflect changes in the electrical output quanti-
ties due to changes in terminal voltage v,. Finally. the energy source equations are a
description of the boiler and steam turbine or of the penstock and hydraulic turbine
behavior as the governor output calls for changes in the energy input. These equations
are very nonlinea r and have several long time constants.
To visualize the stability problem in terms of Figure 2.24 . we recognize immediately
that the shaft speed w must be accurately controlled since this machine must operate at
precisely the same frequency as all others in the system. If a sudden change in woccurs.
we have two ways of providing controlled responses to this change. One is through the
governor that controls the mechanical power Pm. but does so through some rather long
time constants. A second controlled response acts through the excitation system to con-
trol the electrical power p. . Time delays are involved here too. but they are smaller
than those in the governor loop. Hence much effort has been devoted to refinements in
excitation control.

3.1 Introduction
This chapter reviews the behavior of an electric power system when subjected to
small disturbances. It is assumed the system under study has been perturbed from
a steady-state condition that prevailed prior to the application of the disturbance.
This small disturbance may be temporary or permanent. If the system is stable, we
would expect that for a temporary disturbance the system would return to its initial
state, while a permanent disturbance would cause the system to acquire a new operating
state after a transient period. In either case synchronism should not be lost. Under
normal operating conditions a power system is subjected to small disturbances at ran-
dom. It is important that synchronism not be lost under these conditions. Thus system
behavior is a measure of dynamic stability as the system adjusts to small perturbations.
We now define what is meant by a small disturbance. The criterion is simply that
the perturbed system can be linearized about a quiescent operating state. An example
of this linearization procedure was given in Section 2.5. While the power-angle rela-
tionship for a synchronous machine connected to an infinite bus obeys a sine law (2.33),
it was shown that for small perturbations the change in power is approximately propor-
tional to the change in angle (2.35). Typical examples of small disturbances are a small
change in the scheduled generation of one machine, which results in a small change in
its rotor angle 0, or a small load added to the network (say 1/ 100 of system capacity
or less).
In general, the response of a power system to impacts is oscillatory. If the oscil-
lations are damped, so that after sufficient time has elapsed the deviation or the change
in the state of the system due to the small impact is small (or less than some prescribed
finite amount), the system is stable. If on the other hand the oscillations grow in magni-
tude or are sustained indefinitely, the system is unstable.
'For a linear system, modern linear systems theory provides a means of evaluation
of its dynamic response once a good mathematical model is developed. The mathe-
matical models for the various components of a power network will be developed in
greater detail in later chapters. Here a brief account is given of the various phenomena
experienced in a power system subjected to small impacts, with emphasis on the qualita-
tive description of the system behavior.

lations on the tie lines connecting these groups of machines. This gives rise to the term
"tie-line oscillations."
In large interconnected power systems tie-line oscillations can become objectionable
if their magnitude reaches a significant fraction of the tie-line loading, since they are
superimposed upon the normal flow of power in the line. Furthermore, conditions may
exist in which these oscillations grow in amplitude, causing instability. This problem
is similar to that discussed in Section 3.2.1. It can be analyzed if an adequate math-
ematical model of the various components of the system is developed and the dynamic
response of this model is examined. If we are interested in seeking an approximate
answer for the magnitude of the tie-line oscillations, however, such an answer can be
reached by a qualitative discussion of the distribution of power impacts. Such a discus-
sion is offered here.
The system described by (3.4) is marginally stable (i.e., oscillatory) for Ps > O.
Its response is oscillatory with the frequency of oscillation obtained from the roots of
the characteristic equation (2H/WR)S2 + P, = 0, which has the roots
(3.6)
If the electrical torque is assumed to have a component proportional to the speed
change, a damping term is added to (3.4) and the new characteristic equation becomes
(2H/WR)S2 + (D/WR)S + Ps = 0 (3.7)
where D is the damping power coefficient in pu,
The roots of (3.7) are given by

UsuaJly (D/WR)2 < 8HPs / WR, and the roots are complex; i.e., the response is oscilla-
tory with an angular frequency of oscillation essentially the same as that given by
(3.6). The system described by (3.7) is stable for P, > 0 and for D > O. If either
one of these quantities is negative, the system is unstable.
Venikov [4) reports that a situation may occur where the .machine described by
(3.4) can be unstable under light load conditions if the network is such that ~o < "Y.
This would be the case where there is appreciable series resistance (see [4], Sec. 3.2).
From Chapter 2 we know that the synchronizing power coefficient P, is negative
if the spontaneous change in the angle ~ is .negative. A negative value of P, leads to
unstable operation.

this system is stable if K, - K2 KJ K4 > 0 and K2 KJ K4 > O.
The first of the above cr iteria st ates that the synchronizing power coefficient K,
must be greater than the dem agnetizing component of electrical power. The second
criterion is satisfied if the constants K2 , KJ , and K4 are positive. Venikov [4] points
out that if the transmission network has an appreciable series capacitive rea ctance, it is
possible that instability may occur. This would happen because the impedance factor
producing the constant K, would become negative.

power of a given machine due to the change in the angle between its internal EM F and

any bus, with all other bus angles held constant." (An implied assumption is that the
voltage at the remote bus is also held constant.) This expanded definition of the syn-
chronizing power coefficient will be used in Section 3.6.
Using the inertial model of the synchronous machines, we get the set of linearized
differential equations,
i = 1,2, .. . .n (3.25)

The set (3.26) is not a set of n-independent second-order equations, since ~oij = O.
Thus (3.26) comprises a set of (n - l)-independent equations.

where C 1, C2 , (jJ" and (jJ2 are constants.
Example 3.2
Consider the three-machine, nine-bus system of Example 2.6, operating initially in
the steady state with system conditions given by Figure 2.18 (load flow) and the com-
puted initial values given in Example 2.6 for E;&, i = I, 2, 3. A small 10-MW load
(about 3% of the total system load of 315 MW) is suddenly added at bus 8 by adding a
three-phase fault to the bus through a 10.0 pu impedance. The system base is 100 MYA.
Assume that the system load after t = 0 is constant and consists of the original load
plus the 10 pu shunt resistance at bus 8.
Compute the frequencies of oscillation that will result from this small disturbance.
Then compare these computed frequencies against those actually observed in a digital
computer solution. Assume there are no governors active on any of the three turbines.
Observe the system response for about two seconds.
Solution
First we compute the frequencies of oscillation. From (3.24)
PSi} = Vi ~(Bij cos O;jO - Gij sin 0ijo) "J Vi ~Bij cos O;jO
From Example 2.6 we find the data needed to compute PSij with the results shown in
Table 3.1.
Note that the oijO are the values of the relative rotor angles at t = 0-. Since these
are rotor angles, they will not change at the time of impact, so these are also the correct
values for t = 0+. This is also true of angles at load buses to which appreciable inertia
is connected. For loads that are essentially constant impedance, however, the voltage
angle will exhibit a step change.
Also from Example 2.6 we know Hi = 23.64, 6.40, and 3.01 for i = 1, 2, 3 respec-
tively. Thus we can compute the values of a ij from Example 3.1 as follows:
all = (wR/2)(Ps12/ H l + Ps 13/ H 1 + Ps31/ H 3 ) = 104.096
a l2 = (w R / 2)( Ps 32 / H 3 - Psn / HI) = 59.524
<l21 (w R/2)(Ps31/ H3 - P s21/H2) = 33.841
<l22 = (wR/2)(P s21/H2 + P s23/H2 + P s32/H3 ) = 153.460
Then
x2 = -(1/2)[ -(all + a22) v(all + a 22 )2 - 4(alla22 - al2a2.)]
-(1/2)[ -257.556 (66336 - 55841)112] = -77.555, -180
64 Chapter 3
Now we can compute the frequencies and periods shown in Table 3.2.
x j 8.807 j13.416
w rad/s 8.807 13.416
JHz 1.402 2.135
Ts 0.713 0.468
Thus two frequencies , about 1.4 Hz and 2.1 Hz, should be observed in the inter-
mach ine oscillations of the system . Th is can be approximately verified by an actual so-
lution of the system by d igital co mp uter. The results of such a solution are shown in
Figure 3.3, whe re absolute angles are given in Figure 3.3(a) and angle differences rela-
tive to ~I are given in Figure 3.3(b) . As might be expected, neither of the computed
frequencies is clearly observed since the response is a combination of the two frequen-
cies. A rough measurement of the peak-to-pe ak periods in Figure 3.3(b) gives per iods in
the neighborhood of 0.7 s.
Methods have been devised [3, II) by which a system such as the one in Example 3.2
can be transformed to a new frame of reference called the Jordan canonical form . In
Jo rdan form the different frequencies of oscillation are clearly separated . In the form of

Here we assumethat the power network has a very high XI R ratio such that the
conductances are negligible. The machines are represented by the classical model of
constant voltage behind transient reactance. We also assume that the network has been
reduced to the internal machine nodes (nodes 1,2, . . . .n of Figure 2.17) and the node k,
where the impact PL A is applied.
The immediate effect (assuming the network response to be fast) of the application
of PLA is that the angle of bus k is changed while the magnitude of its voltage Vk
is unchanged, or V k IOko becomes V k IOko + ou. Note also that the internal angles of
the machine nodes 01, 02' ... ,h. do not change instantly because of the rotor inertia .
3.6.1 Linearization
The equations for injected power (3.47) and (3.48) are nonlinear because of the
transcendental functions . Since we are concerned only with a small impact PL A , we
linearize these equations to find

These equations are valid for any time t following the application of the impact.

This is to be expected since we are assuming a nearly reactive network. We also note
that at node; PiA depends upon B cos OikO' In other words, the higher the transfer
susceptance Bik and the lower the initial angle OikO, the greater the share of the im-
pact "picked up" by machine i. Note also that PkA = - P LA, so the foregoing equa-
tions can be written in terms of the load impact as
L L
n n
It is interesting that at the instant of the load impact (i.e., at t = O~\ the source of
energy supplied by the generators is the energy stored in their magnetic fields and is
distributed according to the synchronizing power coefficients between i and k. Note
that the generator rotor angles cannot move instantly; hence the energy supplied by the
generators cannot come instantly from the energy stored in the rotating masses. This
is also evident from the first equation of (3.51); PiA depends upon Psik or Bik , which
depends upon the reactance between generator; and node k. Later on when the rotor
angles change, the stored energy in the rotating masses becomes important, as shown
below.
Equations (3.52) and (3.55) indicate that the load impact PLA at a network bus k
is immediately shared by the synchronous generators according to their synchronizing
power coefficients with respect to the bus k. Thus the machines electrically close to the
point of impact will pick up the greater share of the load regardless of their size.
Let us consider next the deceleration of machine; due to the sudden increase in its
output power PiA' The incremental differential equation governing the motion of
machine; is given by

Obviously, the shaft decelerates for a positive load P LA. The pu deceleration of ma-
chine i, given by (3.57), is dependent on the synchronizing power coefficient Psi/c and
inertia H;. This deceleration will be constant until the governor action begins. Note
that after the initial impact the various synchronous machines will be retarded at differ-
ent rates, each according to its size H; and its "electrical location " given by p s;/( .

Equation (3.60) gives the mean acceleration of all the machines in the system, which is
defined here as the acceleration of a fictitious inertial center.
We now investigate the way in which the impact PL4 will be shared by the various
machines. Note that while the system as a whole is retarding at the rate given by
(3.60), the individual machines are retarding at different rates. Each machine follows
an oscillatory motion governed by its swing equation. Synchronizing forces tend to
pull them toward the mean system retardation, and after the initial transient decays
they will acquire the same retardation as given by (3.60). In other words, when the
transient decays, dWit~/dl will be the same as dw4/dt as given by (3.60). Substituting
this value of dW;4/dl in (3.56), at I = I, > 1o,
Thus at the end of a brief transient the various machines will share the increase in
load as a function only of their inertia constants. The time II is chosen large enough
System Response to Small Disturbances 73
so that all the machines will have acquired the mean system retardation. At the same
time t I is not so large as to allow other effects such as governor action to take place.
Equation (3.61) implies that the H constants for all the machines are given to a common
base . If they are given for each machine on its own base, the correct powers are ob-
tained if H is replaced by HS B3/S'B' where SB3 is the machine rating and S,B is the
chosen system base.
Examining (3.56) and (3.61), we note that immediately after the impact PLA(i.e., at
t = 0+) the machines share the impact according to their electrical proximity to the
point of the impact as expressed by the synchronizing power coefficients. After a brief
transient period the same machines share the same impact according to entirely differ-
ent criteria, namely, according to their inertias.
Example 3.4
Consider the nine-bus, three-machine system of Example 2.6 with a small IO-MW
resistive load added to bus 8 as in Example 3.2. Solve the system differential equations
and plot PiA and WiA as functions of time . Compare computed results against the-
oretical values of Section 3.6.
11
Solution
A nominal IO-MW (0.1 pu) load is added to bus 8 by applying a three-phase fault
through a 10 pu resistance, using a library transient stability program. The resulting
power oscillations PiA, i = I, 2, 3, are shown in Figure 3.8 for the system operating
without governor action .
The prefault conditions at the generators are given in Table 3.1 and in Example 2.6.
From the prefault load flow of Figure 2.19 we determine that Vso = 1.016 and oso =
0.7". A matrix reduction of the nine-bus system, retaining only nodes I, 2, 3, and 8,
gives the system data shown on Table 3.3.

Note that the actual load pickup is only 9.1 MW instead of the desired 10 MW.
This is due in part to the assumption of constant voltage VI< at bus 8 (actually, the
voltage drops slightly) and to the assumed linearity of the system. If the computed
PiA are scaled down by 0.91, the results agree quite well with values measured from the
computer study. These values are also shown on the plot of Figure 3.8 at time t = 0+
and are due only to the synchronizing power coefficients of the generators with respect
to bus 8.
The plots of Pi~ versus time in Figure 3.8 show the oscillatory nature of the power
exchange between generators following the impact. These oscillations have frequencies
that are combinations of the eigenvalues computed in Example 3.2. The total, labeled
"L,Pi A , averages about 9.5 MW.

Another point of interest in Figure 3.8 is the computed values of P;t.(tl) that
depend entirely on the machine inertia. These calculations are made from
P;t.(td (HJ"LH;)PLt. = IOH;/(23.64 + 6.40 + 3.01) = IOH;/33 .05
7.15MW i = I
1.94 MW i = 2
0.91 MW i = 3
and the results are plotted in Figure 3.8 as dashed lines. It is fairly obvious that the
P;t.(t) oscillate about these values of P;t.(td. It is also apparent that the system has
little damping and the oscillations are likely to persist for some time . This is partly due
to the inherent nature of this particular system, but the same phenomenon would be
present to some extent on any system.
The second plot of interest is the speed deviation or slip as a function of time,
shown in Figure 3.9. The computer program provides speed deviation data in Hz and
these units are used in Figure 3.9. Note the steady deceleration with all units oscillating
about the mean or inertial center. This is computed as

- 1.513 X 10- 3 puis = -0.570 rad/s! = -0.0908 Hz/s
The individual machine speed deviations Wit. are plotted in Figure 3.9 and show graphi-
cally the intermachine oscillations that occur as the system slowly retards in frequency .
The mean deceleration of about 0.09 Hz/s is plotted in Figure 3.9 as a straight line.
If the governors were active. the speed deviation would level off after a few seconds
to a constant value and the osc illations would eventually decay . Since the governors
have a drooping characteristic. the speed would then continue at the reduced value as
76 Chapter 3
long as the additional load was present. If the speed deviation is great, signifying
a substantial load increase on the generators, the governors would need to be readjusted
to the new load level so that additional prime-mover torque could be provided .
Example 3.5
Let us examine the effect of the above on the power flow in tie lines . Consider a
power network composed of two areas connected with a tie line. as shown in Fig-
ure 3.10 . The two areas are of comparable size, say 1000 MW each . They are con-
nected with a tie line having a capacity of 100 M W. The tie line is carry ing a steady
power flow of 80 MW from area I to area 2 as shown in Figure 3.10 . Now let a load
impact Pu. = 10 MW (1% of the capacity of one area) take place at some point in
area I, and determine the di stribution of this added load immediately after its applica-
tion (t = 0+) and a short time later (t = t l ) after the initial transients have subsided.
Because o'f the proximity of the groups of machines in area I to the point of impact,
their synchronizing power coefficients are larger than those of the groups of machines
in area 2. If we define :LPsidareal = Psi, LP'idarea2 = P s2' then let us assume that P si =
2Ps2 '
80MW
---
P = 10 M W
LA
Solution
Since PsI = 2Ps2 , at the instant of the impact 2/3 of the IO-MW load will be sup-
plied by the groups of machines in area I, while 1/3 or 3.3 MW will be supplied by
the groups of machines in area 2. Thus 3.3 MW will appear as a reduction in tie-line
flow. In other words, at that instant the tie-line flow becomes 76.7 MW toward area 2.
At the end of the initial transient the load power impact Pes will be shared by the
machines according to their inertias. Let us assume that the machines of area I are

predominantly hydro units (with relatively small H), while the units of area 2 are of
larger inertia constants such that L:H;].re.2 = 2L:H;]are.1 where all H's are on a com-
mon base . The sharing of the load among the groups of machines will now become
6.7 MW contributed from area 2 and 3.3 MW from area 1. The tie -line flow will now
become 73.3 MW (toward area 2).
From the above we can see that in the situation discussed in this example a sudden
application of a 10-MW load caused the tie-line flow to drop almost instantly by
3.3 MW, and after a brief transient by 6.7 MW. The transition from 76.7-MW flow
to 73.3-MW flow is oscillatory, and power swings of as much as twice the difference
between these two values may be encountered . This situation is illustrated in Fig-
ure3.11.
The time t I mentioned above is smaller than the time needed by the various con-
trollers to adjust the system generation to match the load and the tie-line flow to meet
the scheduled flow .
Example 3.6
We now consider a slightly more complex and more realistic case wherein the area
equivalents in Figure 3.10 are represented by their Thevenin equivalents and the tie-
line impedance is given . The system data are given in Figure 3.12 in pu on a IOOO-MVA
base. The capacity of area I is 20,000 MW and that of area 2 is 14,000 MW . The inertia
constants of the machines in the two areas are about equal.
(a) Find the equations of power for PI and Pz
(b) Find the operating condition when PI = 100 MW. This would correspond ap -
proximately to a 100-MW tie-line flow from area I to area 2.

(d) Consider a sudden load addition to area 2, represented by the resistive load P4 tJ.

one third of the load P4~' at a later time t = t1 it picks up about 59% of the load and area
2 picks up the remaining 41%.
In general, the initial distribution of a load impact depends on the point of impact.
Problem 3.10 gives another example where the point of impact is in area I (bus 3).
In the above discussion many factors have been neglected, e.g., the effect of the
network transfer conductances, the effect of the reactive component of the load impact,
the fast primary controllers such as some of the modern exciters, the load frequency and
voltage characteristics, and others. Thus the conclusions reached above should be
considered qualitative and as rough approximations. Yet these conclusions are basically
sound and give a good "feel" for what happens to the machines arid to the tie-line
flows under the influence of small routine load changes.
If the system is made up of groups of machines separated by tie lines, they share
the impacts differently under different conditions. Hence they will oscillate with respect
to each other during the transient period following the impact. The power flow in the
connecting ties will reflect these oscillations.
The analysis given above could be extended to include governor actions. Following
an impact the synchronous machines will share the change first according to their
synchronizing power coefficients, then after a brief period according to their inertias.
The speed change will be sensed by the prime-mover governors, which will act to make
the load sharing according to an entirely different criterion, namely, the speed governor
droop characteristic. The transition from the second to the final stage is oscillatory
(see Rudenberg [7], Ch. 23). The angular frequency of these oscillations can be esti-
mated as follows. From Section 3.5.2, neglecting Pt!A' the change in the mechanical
power Pm A is of the form

Problems
3.1 A synchronous machine is connected to a large system (an infinite bus) through a long
transmission line. The direct axis transient reactance xj = 0.20 pu. The infinite
bus voltage is 1.0 pu. The transmission line impedance is Zline = 0.20 + jO.60 pu. The
synchronous machine is to be represented by constant voltage behind transient reactance

The Synchronous Machine
4.1 Introduction
In this chapter we develop a mathematical model for a synchronous machine for
use in stability computations. State-space formulation of the machine equations is used.
Two models are developed, one using the currents as state variables and another using
the flux linkages. Simplified models, which are often used for stability studies, are dis-
cussed. This chapter is not intended to provide an exhaustive treatment of synchronous
machine theory. The interested reader should consult one of the many excellent refer-
ences on this subject (see [I ]-[9]).
The synchronous machine under consideration is assumed to have three stator
windings, one field winding, and two amortisseur or damper windings. These six wind-
ings are magnetically coupled. The magnetic coupling between the windings is a function
of the rotor position. Thus the flux linking each winding is also a function of the rotor
position. The instantaneous terminal voltage v of any winding is in the form,
v = l:,ri L~ (4.1)
where A is the flux linkage, r is the winding resistance, and i is the current, with posi-
tive directions of stator currents flowing out of the generator terminals. The notation
2: indicates the summation of all appropriate terms with due regard to signs. The
expressions for the winding voltages are complicated because of the variation of A with
the rotor position.
4.2 Park's Transformation
A great simplification in the mathematical description of the synchronous machine
is obtained if a certain transformation of variables is performed. The transformation
used is usually called Park"s transformation [10, II]. It defines a new set of stator
variables such as currents, voltages, or flux linkages in terms of the actual winding vari-
ables. The new quantities are obtained from the projection of the actual variables on
three axes; one along the direct axis of the rotor field winding, called the direct axis;
a second along the neutral axis of the field winding, called the quadrature axis; and the
third on a stationary axis. Park's transformation is developed mathematically as fol-
lows.'
I. The transformation developed and used in this book is not exactly that used by Park [10, II] but is
more nearly that suggested by Lewis [12], with certain other features suggested by Concordia (discussion to
(12)) and Krause and Thomas [13).

We define the d axis of the rotor at some instant of time to be at angle 0 rad with
respect to a fixed reference position, as shown in Figure 4.1 . Let the stator pha se cur-
rents ia , i b , and i, be the currents leaving the generator terminals. If we "p roject " these
currents along the d and q axes of the rotor, we get the relations
iq u is (2/3)[ia sin 0 + ib sin (0 - h 13) + i, sin (0 + h 13)
idu is (2/3)[iacosO + ibcos(O - h/3) + iccos(O + h/3) (4.2)
We note that for convenience the axis of phase a was chosen to be the reference
position, otherw ise some angle of displacement between phase a and the arbitrary
reference will appear in all the above terms .
The effect of Park's transformation is simply to transform all stator quantities from
phases a, b, and c into new variables the frame of reference of which moves with the
rotor. We should remember, however, that if we have three variables i a , i b , and
i., we need three new variables. Park 's transformation uses two of the new variables
as the d and q axis components. The third variable is a statio na ry current, which is
proportional to the zero-sequence current. A multipl ier is used to simplify the numeri-
cal calculations. Thus by definition

The main field-winding flux is along the direction of the d axis of the rotor. It produces
an EMF that lags this flux by 90. Therefore the machine EMF E is primarily along the
rotor q axis . Consider a machine having a constant terminal voltage V. For generator
The Synchronous Machine 85
action the phasor E should be leading the phasor V. The angle between E and V is the
machine torque angle () if the phasor V is in the direction of the reference phase
(phase a).
At t = 0 the phasor V is located at the axis of phase a, i.e., at the reference axis
in Figure 4.1. The q axis is located at an angle 0, and the d axis is located at 8 =
{) + 1r /2. At t > 0, the reference axis is located at an angle WR t with respect to
the axis of phase a. The d axis of the rotor is therefore located at
(4.6)
where WR is the rated (synchronous) angular frequency in rad/s and () is the synchronous
torque angle in electrical radians.
Expressions similar to (4.3) may also be written for voltages or flux linkages; e.g.,
VOdq = PVabl' (4.7)
If the transformation (4.5) is unique, an inverse transformation also exists wherein we
may write
iabc = p-l i Odq (4.8)
The inverse of (4.5) may be computed to be
and we note that p-l = P', which means that the transformation P is orthogonal.
Having P orthogonal also means that the transformation P is power invariant, and we
should expect to use the same power expression in either the a-b-c or the O-d-q frame
of reference. Thus
p = vaia + vbib +, Veil' = v~bciabe = (P-IVOdq)'(P-liOdq)

and where L j le = Li, in all cases. Note the subscript convention in (4.11) where lower-
case subscripts are used for stator quantities and uppercase subscripts are used for rotor
quantities. Prentice [14] shows that most of the inductances in (4.11) are functions of
the rotor position angle (J. These inductances may be written as follows
LaD = L Da = M DCOS 8 H
Lbo = L Db = MDcos(fJ - 21r/3) H
LcD = L Dc = MDcos(fJ + 21r/3) H (4.17)
and finally, from phase windings to damper winding Q we have
L aQ =' L Qa = M Q sin (J H
L bQ = L Qb = M Q sin (} - 21r/3) H
L cQ = L Qc = MQsin(} + 21r/3) H (4.18)
The signs on mutual terms depend upon assumed current directions and coil orienta-
tion.

In (4.20) >"d is the flux linkage in a circuit moving with the rotor and centered on the
d axis. Similarly, >"q is centered on the q axis. Flux linkage >"0 is completely uncoupled
from the other circuits, as the first row and column have only a diagonal term.
It is important also to observe that the inductance matrix of (4.20) is a matrix of
constants. This is apparent since all quantities have only one subscript, thus conforming
with our notation for constant inductances. The power of Park's transformation is that
it removes the time-varying coefficients from this equation. This is very important.
We also note that the transformed matrix (4.20) is symmetric and therefore is physically
realizable by an equivalent circuit. This was not true of the transformation used by
Park [10,11], where he let 'Odq = Q'abc with Q defined as

where k = ~ as before. A great deal of information is contained in (4.39).
First, we note that the zero-sequence voltage is dependent only upon io and 10 This
equation can be solved separately from the others once the initial conditions on i o
are given. The remaining five equations are all coupled in a most interesting way.
They are similar to those of a passive network except for the presence of the speed
voltage terms. These terms, consisting of wA or wLi products, appear unsymmetrically
and distinguish this equation from that of a passive network. Note that the speed
voltage terms in the d axis equation are due only to q axis currents, viz., i q and i Q Simi-
larly, the q axis speed voltages are due to d axis currents, i d, iF, and t. Also observe
that all the terms in the coefficient matrices are constants except w, the angular velocity.
This is a considerable improvement over the description given in (4.23) in the a-b-c
frame of reference since nearly all inductances in that equation were time varying. The
price we have paid to get rid of the time-varying coefficients is the introduction of speed
voltage terms in the resistance matrix. Since w is a variable, this causes (4.39) to be
nonlinear. If the speed is assumed constant, which is usually a good approximation,
then (4.39) is linear. In any event, the nonlinearity is never great, as w is usually
nearly constant.
4.7 Per Unit Conversion
The voltage equations of the preceding section are not in a convenient form for en-
gineering use. One difficulty is the numerically awkward values with stator voltages in
the kilovolt range and field voltage at a much lower level. This problem can be solved
by normalizing the equations to a convenient base value and expressing all voltages in
pu (or percent) of base. (See Appendix C.)
An examination of the voltage equations reveals the dimensional character shown
in Table 4.1, where all dimensions are expressed in terms of a v-i-t (voltage, current,
time) system. [These dimensions are convenient here. Other possible systems are
The Synchronous Machine 93
FLtQ (force, length, time, charge) and M LtJJ (mass, length, time, permeability).] Ob-
serve that all quantities appearing in (4.39) involve only three dimensions. Thus if we
choose three base quantities that involve all three dimensions, all bases are fixed for all
quantities. For example, if we choose the base voltage, base current, and base time, by
combining these quantities according to column 4 of Table 4.1, we may compute base
quantities for all other entries. Note that exactly three base quantities must be chosen
and that these three must involve all three dimensions, v, i, and t.
Before proceeding further, let us examine the effect of this choice on the d and q axis
quantities.
First note that the three-phase power in pu is three times the pu power per phase
(for balanced conditions). To prove this, let the rms phase quantities be V~ V and
ItJ..A. Thethree-phasepoweris3Vlcos(a -,,)W. Thepu power P3q, is given by
(4.41)
where the subscript u is used to indicate pu quantities. To obtain the d and q axis
quantities, we first write the instantaneous phase voltage and currents. To simplify the
expression without any loss of generality, we will assume that va(t) is in the form,
u, = Vmsin(O + a) = VIVsin(O + a) V
u, = V2Vsin(lJ + a - 2tr/3) V
V c = V2Vsin(lJ + a + 2tr/3) V (4.42)
Vo o
V3Vsina V (4.43)
Vq V3 Vcosa
In pu
(4.44)
Similarly,
V qu = V3Vucosa (4.45)
Obviously, then
2
Vdu + vqu2 = 3 V II2 (4.46)
The above results are significant. They indicate that with this particular choice of the
base voltage, the pu d and q axis voltages are numerically equal to V3 times the pu
phase voltages.
Similarly, we can show that if the rms phase current is f!J.. A, the corresponding d
and q axis currents are given by,
V3/sin'Y A (4.47)
To check the validity of the above, the power in the d and q circuits must be the
same as the power in the three stator phases, since P is a power-invariant transfor-
mation.
PJt!' = iduvt/u + iquvqu = 3 lu Jt:(sin a sin l' + cos a cos 1')
= 3 f u Jt: cos (a - 1') pu (4.49)
We now develop the relations for the various base quantities. From (4.40) and
Table 4.1 we compute the following:
where we use the subscript u to indicate pu. Later, when there is no danger of ambiguity
in the notation, this subscript is omitted.

2. In the system used here v~u + v;u = 3 V~, while in the other system v~u + v;u =
V~, where Vu is the pu terminal voltage.
The system used here is more appealing to some engineers than that used by the
manufacturers [9,12]. However, since the manufacturers' base system is so common,
there is merit in studying both.

From the no-load magnetization curve, the value of field current corresponding to the

L md = L d - -.e d = (6.341 - 0.5595) 10- 3 = 5.79 X 10- 3 H
To obtain M F , we use (4.11), (4.16), and (4.23). At open circuit the 'mutual in-
ductance L aF and the flux linkage in phase a are given by
L aF = M F cos f) Aa = iFMFcos f)
The instantaneous voltage of phase a is va = iFwRMFsin (), where WR is the rated syn-
chronous speed. Thus the peak phase voltage corresponds to the product iFwRMF.
From the air gap line of the no-load saturation curve, the value of the field current at
rated voltage is 365 A. Therefore,
M F = 8660V!/(377 x 365) = 89.006 x 10- 3 H
kM F = V3f2 x 89.006 X 10- 3 = 109.01 X 10- 3 H
Then k F = kM F/ L md = 18.854.
Then we compute, from (4.55)-(4.57),
f F8 = 6158.4/18.854 = 326.64 A
M F 8 = 18.854 x 3.73 x 10- 3 = 70.329 X 10- 3 H

2. The choice of symbol for the EMF due to iF is not clearly decided. The American National Stan-
dards Institute (A N SI) uses the sym bol E1 (16). A new proposed standard uses Eo! (17). The International
Electrotechnical Commission (I EC), in a discussion of [17], favors Eq for this voltage. The authors leave
this voltage unsubscripted until a new standard is adopted.
The Synchronous Machine 99
Since MF and WR are known constants for a given machine, the field current corresponds
to a given EM F by a simple scaling factor. Thus E is the stator air gap rms voltage in
pu corresponding to the field current i, in pu.
We can also convert a field flux linkage AF to a corresponding stator EM F. At
steady-state open circuit conditions AF = LFiF, and this value of field current iF' when
multiplied by wRM F , gives a peak stator voltage the rrns value of which is denoted by
E;. We can show that the d axis stator EM F corresponding to the field flux linkage AF
is given by

By the same reasoning a field voltage uF corresponds (at steady state) to a field cur-
rent UF/'F' This in turn corresponds to a peak stator EMF (uF/rF)wRMF. If the rrns
value of this EM F is denoted by EFD , the d axis stator EM F corresponds to a field volt-
age UF or

These normalized equations are in a form suitable for solution in the time domain with
time in seconds. However, some engineers prefer to rid the equations of the awkward
l/wR that accompanies every term containing a time derivative. This may be done by
normalizing time. We do this by setting

where we have omitted the Vo equation, since we are interested in balanced system con-
ditions in stability studies, and have rearranged the equations to show the d and q cou-
pling more clearly. It is important to notice that (4.74) is identical in notation to (4.39).
This is always possible if base quantities are carefully chosen and is highly desirable, as
the same equation symbolically serves both as a pu and a "system quantity" equation.
Using matrix notation, we write (4.74) as
v = -(R + wN) i - L i pu (4.75)
where R is the resistance matrix and is a diagonal matrix of constants, N is the matrix
of speed voltage inductance coefficients, and L is a symmetric matrix of constant in-
ductances. If we assume that the inverse of the inductance matrix exists, we may write
i = -L- ' (R + wN)i - L-'v pu (4.76)
This equation has the desired state-space form. It does not express the entire system be-
havior, however, so we have additional equations to write.
Equation (4.76) may be depicted schematically by the equivalent circuit shown in

Figure 4.3. Note that all self and mutual inductances in the equivalent circuit are con-
stants, and pu quantities are implied for all quantities, including time. Note also the
presence of controlled sources in the equivalent. These are due to speed voltage terms
in the equations.
Equation (4.74) and the circuit in Figure 4.3 ditTer from similar equations found in
the literature in two important ways. In this chapter we use the symbols Land M for
self and mutual inductances respectively. Some authors and most manufacturers refer
to these same quantities by the symbol x or X. This is sometimes confusing to one
learning synchronous machine theory because a term XI that appears to be a voltage
may be a flux linkage. The use of X for L or M is based on the rationale that w is nearly
constant at 1.0 pu so that, in pu, X = wL - L. However, as we shall indicate in the
sections to follow, w is certainly not a constant; it is a state variable in our equations,
and we must treat it as a variable. Later , in a linearized model we will let w be ap-
proximated as a constant and will simplify other terms in the equations as well.
For convenience of those acquainted with other references we list a comparison of
these inductances in Table 4.2. Here the subscript notation kd and kq for D and Q reo
spectively is seen. These symbols are quite common in the literature in reference to the
damper windings .

and the coefficient matrix is seen to contain w in 12 of its 25 terms. This gives some idea
of the complexity of the equations.
(4.82)
where all the terms in the swing equation, including time and angular speed, are in pu.
Beginning with (4.79) and substituting

we have for the normalized swing equation

2H dwu = T pu (4.87)

It would be tempting to normalize the swing equation on a per phase basis such
that all terms in (4.79) are in pu based on So rather than S03. This could indeed be
done with the result that all values in the swing equation would be multiplied by three.
This is not done here because it is common to express both Tm and T, in pu on a three-
phase base. Therefore, even though So is a convenient base to use in normalizing the
generator circuits, it is considered wise to convert the generator terminal power and
torque to a three-phase base S03 to match the basis normally used in computing the
machine terminal conditions from the viewpoint of the network (e.g., in load-flow stud-
ies). Note there is not a similar problem with the voltage being based on Vo, the
phase-to-neutral voltage, since a phase voltage of k pu means that the line-to-line volt-
age is also k pu on a line-to-line basis.

where the superscript t indicates the transpose of 'abc. But from (4.8) we may write
iabc = p-l iOdq with a similar expression for the voltag,e vector. Then (4.91) becomes
(4.92)
For simplicity we will assume balanced but not necessarily steady-state conditions.
Thus Vo = io = 0 and
Pout = vdid + vqiq (balanced condition) (4.93)
Substituting for o, and vq from (4.36),
Pout = (id~d + iq~q) + (iq~d - id~q)W - r(i~ + i~) (4.94)
Concordia [I] observes that the three terms are identifiable as the rate of change of
stator magnetic field energy, the power transferred across the air gap, and the stator
ohmic losses respectively. The machine torque is obtained from the second term,

to relate AAD and AAQ to the state variables. The state variables are Ad, AF , AD, Aq, AQ ,
w, and o. The forcing functions, are vd , vq,vF , and Tm This form of the equations is
particularly convenient for solution where saturation is required, since saturation affects
only AAD and AAQ.

The system described by (4.138) is in the form = f(x, u, t). Again the description x
of the system is not complete since vd and vq are functions of the currents and will de-
pend on the external load connections. The 7 x 7 matrix on the right side of (4.138)
contains state variables in several terms, and this matrix form of the equation is not an
appropriate form for solution. It does, however, serve to illustrate the nonlinear nature
of the system.

plished by computing a saturation function to adjust (4.120) and (4.121) at all times to
reflect the state of the mutual inductances. As a practical matter, the q axis inductance
L AQ seldom saturates, so it is usually necessary to adjust only ')..AO for saturation.
The procedure for including the magnetic circuit saturation is given below (18). Let
the unsaturated values of the magnetizing inductances be L AOO and L AQO' The compu-
tations for saturated values of these inductances follow.
For salient pole machines,
(4.139)
where K. is a saturation factor determined from the magnetization curve of the machine.
For a round-rotor machine, we compute, according to [16]
LAO = K,L ADO L AQ = K.L AQO
K. = f(')..) A = (A~O + A~Q)1/2 (4.140)
To determine K. for the d axis in (4.139), the following procedure is suggested. Let
the magnetizing current, which is the sum of ;d + ;F + ;0, be ;M' The relation be-
tween ')..AO and ;M is given by the saturation curve shown in Figure 4.7. For a given
value of ')..AO the unsaturated magnetizing current is ;MO' corresponding to L AOO'
while the saturated value is ;MS' The saturation function K. is a function of this mag-
netizing current, which in turn is a function of ')..AO '
To calculate the saturated magnetizing current ;MS' the current increment needed to
satisfy saturation, ;MfJ. = ;MS - ;MO' is first calculated . Note that saturation be-
gins at the threshold value AAOT corresponding to a magnetizing current ;MT' For flux
linkages greater than ')..AOT the current ;MfJ. increases monotonically in an almost expo -
nential way. Thus we may write approximately
(4.141)
where A. and 8. are constants to be determined from the actual saturation curve.
Knowing ;MfJ. for a given value of AAO, the value of ;MS is calculated, and hence
K. is determined. The solution is obtained by an iterative process so that the relation
>"AoK.(X AO) = LAooiMS is satisfied.
where x is a vector of order seven (five currents, wand {) for the current model, or five
flux linkages, wand {) for the flux linkage model), and v is a vector of voltages that
includes Vd , vq , and vF
Assuming that VF and T; are known, the set (4.142) does not completely describe
the synchronous machine since there are two additional variables Vd and vq appear-
ing in the equations. Therefore two additional equations are needed to relate u, and
u, to the state variables. These are auxiliary equations, which mayor may not increase
the order of the system depending upon whether the relations obtained are algebraic
equations or differential equations and whether new variables are introduced. To ob-
tain equations for v, and u, in terms of the state variables, the terminal conditions
of the machine must be known. In other words, equations describing the load are
required.
There are a number of ways of representing the electrical load on a synchronous
generator. For example, we could consider the load to be constant impedance, con-
stant power, constant current, or some composite of all three. For the present we re-
quire a load representation that will illustrate the constraints between the generator
voltages, currents, and angular velocity. These constraints are found by solving the net-
work, including loads, given the machine terminal voltages. For illustrative purposes
here, the load constraint is satisfied by the simple one machine-infinite bus problem
illustrated below.

whether in M KS units or pu due to our choice of P and base quantities. Note also that
there are two nonlinearities in (4.149). The first is due to the speed voltage term, the
wLti product. There is also a nonlinearity in the trigonometric functions of the first
term.

The system described by (4.154) is now in the form of (4.37), namely, = f(x, u, t), x
where x' = [i d iF ioiq 'o w 0].
The function f is a nonlinear function of the state variables and I, and u contains
the system driving functions, which are VF and Tm The loading effect of the transmis-
sion line is incorporated in the matrices i, L, and N. The infinite bus voltage Vao appears
in the terms K sin')' and K cos ')'. Note also that these latter terms are not driving
functions, but rather nonlinear functions of the state variable o.
Because the system (4.154) is nonlinear, determination of its stability depends upon
finding a suitable Liapunov function or some equivalent method. This is explored in
greater depth in Part II I.

Immediately after the voltage is applied, the flux linkages AF and AD are still zero,
since they cannot change instantly. Thus at t = 0+

Therefore

The subtransient inductance is defined as the initial stator flux linkage per unit of
stator current, with all the rotor circuits shorted (and previously unenergized). Thus

(4.174)
In a machine with damper windings, after a few cycles from the start of the transient
described in this section, the damper winding current decays rapidly to zero and tile
effective stator inductance is the transient inductance.
If the phase of the impressed voltages in (4.164) is changed by 90 (va = vT V
sin (J), u, becomes zero and vq will have a magnitude of vJ V.
Before we examine the q axis inductances, some clarification of the circuits that may
exist in the q axis is needed. For a salient pole machine with amortisseur windings a q
axis damper circuit exists, but there is no other q axis rotor winding. For such a ma-
chine the stator flux linkage after the initial subtransient dies out is determined by es-
124 Chapter 4
sentially the same circuit as that of the steady-state q axis flux linkage. Thus for a
salient pole machine it is customary to consider the q axis transient inductance to be the
same as the q axis synchronous inductance.
The situation for a round rotor machine is different. Here the solid iron rotor pro-
vides multiple paths for circulating eddy currents, which act as equivalent windings
during both transient and subtransient periods. Such a machine will have effective q
axis rotor circuits that will determine the q axis transient and subtransient inductances.
Thus for such a machine it is important to recognize that a q axis transient inductance
(much smaller in magnitude than L q ) exists.
Repeating the previous procedure for the q axis circuits of a salient pole machine,
(4.175)
or
iQ = -(k M Q/LQ)iq (4.176)
Substituting in the equation for Aq ,
Aq Lqiq + kMQi Q (4.177)
or
Aq = [L q - (kM Q )2j L Q ]i q ~ L;'iq (4.178)
where L;' is the q axis subtransient inductance
L~I = L q - (kM Q)2/ L Q = Lq - L~Q/LQ (4.179)
We can also see that when iQ decays to zero after a few cycles, the q axis effective in-
ductance in the "transient period" is the same as L q Thus for this type of machine
(4.180)
Since the reactance is the product of the rated angular speed and the inductance and
since in pu WR = I, the subtransient and transient reactances are numerically equal to
the corresponding values of inductances in pu.
We should again point out that for a round rotor machine L;' < L; < L q To
identify these inductances would require that two q axis rotor windings be defined. This
procedure has not been followed in this book but could be developed in a straight-
forward way [21, 22].

This is the d axis open circuit subtransient time constant. It is denoted open circuit
because by definition the stator circuits are open.
When the damper winding is not available or after the decay of the subtransient
current, we can show that the field current is affected only by the parameters of the
field circuit; i.e.,
(4.188)
The time constant of this transient is the d axis transient open circuit time constant
TdO, where
(4.189)
Kimbark [2] and Anderson [8] show that when the stator is short circuited, the cor-
responding d axis time constants are given by
Td " "L"/L'
= T dO d d (4.190)
Td = TdoLd/ t., (4.191)
A similar analysis of the transient in the q axis circuits of a salient pole machine
shows that the time constants are given by
(4.192)
Tq " = T qO"L"/L
q q (4.193)
For a round rotor machine both transient and subtransient time constants are present.
Another time constant is associated with the rate of change of direct current in the
stator or with the envelope of alternating currents in the field winding, when the ma-
chine is subjected to a three-phase short circuit. This time constant is To and is given
by (see [8], Ch. 6)
To = L 2 /r (4.194)
where L 2 is the negative-sequence inductance, which is given by
L2 = (L d + L q)/2 (4.195)
Typical values for the synchronous machine constants are shown in Tables 4.3, 4.4,
and 4.5.

The above equations may be in pu or in MKS units. This follows, since the choice
of the rotor base quantities is based upon equal flux linkages for base rotor and stator
currents. From the stator equation (4.36) and rearranging,
(4.200)
or from (4.199) and (4.200)
~d = -(r/Ld)Ad + (rLAD/LjLF)AF - WA q - Vd pu (4.201 )
From (4.58) we define

vIJe; = (k M FuAFu/ L Fu)[WR (M FBIFB / VB)
or in pu

Now, from (4.201) and (4.203) we compute
~d = -(r/Ld)'Ad + (r/L d)V3E; - WA q - Vd pu (4.204)
In a similar way we compute Aq from (4.36), substituting for iq from (4.199) to write
Xq = -(r/Lq)Aq + WA q - uq pu (4.205)
Note that in (4.204) and (4.205) all quantities, including lime, are in pu. For the
field voltage, from (4.36) VF = rFiF + ~F pu, and substituting for iF from (4.199),
VF = rF[-(LAD/L;LF)Ad + (Ld/LdLF)AFl + ~F pu (4.206)

Now we derive the torque equation. From (4.95) Ter/J = iqAd - idAq. Substituting for
i d and iq , from (4.199) we get
Equations (4.213)-(4.215), (4.219), and (4.220) along with the torque equation
(4.218) describe the E; model. It is a fifth-order system with "free" inputs EFD
and Tm The signals Vd and Vq depend upon the external network.
Block diagrams of the system equations are found as follows. From (4.213) we

then

Also, from WR M Fi F = vf2E in Section 4.7.4 we can show that
iFLAo = YJE pu (4.226)
Now from (4.212), (4.203), (4.226) , and (4.225)
E = (Ld/Ld)E~ - [(Ld - L;)/Ld)A d (4.227)
Substituting (4.227) into (4.215) ,
(4.228)
For the treatment of saturation, Young (19) suggests the modification of (4.227) to the
form
(4.229)
where E A corresponds to the additional field current needed to obtain the same EMF
on the no-load saturation curve. This additional current is a function of the saturation
index and can be determined by a procedure similar to that of Section 4.12.4.
Another method of treating saturation is to consider a saturation function that de-
pends upon E~ ; i.e., let E A= fA (E~). This leads to a solution for E~ amounting to a
negative feedba ck term and provides a useful insight as to the effect of saturation (see
(20) and Problem 4.33) .
Equations (4.229) and (4.228) can be represented by the block diagram shown in
Figure 4.11. We note that if saturation is to be taken into account, the portion of Fig-
ure 4.9 that produces the signal E~ should be modified according to the Figure 4.11 .
Example 4.5
Determine the numerical constants of the E~ model of Figures 4.9 and 4.10, using
the data of Examples 4.1 and 4.2. It is also given that L; = 0.185 pu and L d = 0.245 pu.
Solution
From the given data we compute the time constants required for the model.
From this we may also compute the short circuit subtransient time constant as
r;' = T;~ L;'/L; = r~(0.185/0.245) = 0.023 s = 8.671 rad
The fictitious time constants T)"d and T)..q are computed as
T)"d = L;/r = (0.245)(3.73 x 10- 3)/1.542 x 10- 3 = 0.593 s = 223.446 rad
T)..q = Lq/r = 6.] 18 x ]0- 3/1.542 x 10- 3 = 3.967 s = 1495.718 rad
This large time constant indicates that A q will respond relatively slowly to a change in
terminal conditions.
The various gains needed in the model are as follows:
L;/Ld = 0.245/1.7 = 0.114
(L d - L;)/L; = (1.7 - 0.245)/0.245 = 3.939
I/L; - I/L q = 1/0.245 - 1/1.64 = 3.473
I/L; = 4.08
l/T)"d = 1/0.593 WR = 0.00447
Note the wide range of gain constants required.
(4 .235)
The voltages e;' and e;' are the d and q axis components of the EMF e" produced
by the subtransient flux linkage, the d and q axis components of which are given by
(4.230). This EM F is called the voltage behind the subtransient reactance.
Equations (4.234) when transformed to the a-b-c frame of reference may be repre-
sented by the equivalent circuit of Figure 4.12 . If quasi-steady-state conditions are
assumed to apply at any instant, the relations expressed in (4 .234) may be represented
by the phasor diagram shown in Figure 4.13. In this diagram the q and d axes represent
the real and imaginary axes respectively. "Projections" of the different phasors on these
axes give the q and d components of these ph asors. For example the voltage E" is repre-
sented by the phasor E" shown. It s components are E;' and Ed respectively . From
the abo ve we can see that if at any instant the terminal vo ltage and current of the ma-
ch ine are known , the voltage E" can be determined . Also if Ed and E; are known, E"
can be calcul ated; and if the current is also known, the terminal vo ltage can be deter-
mined.
We now develop the dynami c model for the subtransient case. Substituting (4.230)
into (4.134) , we compute

Similarly, from (4.36) we have

which may be written as

Now from (4.246), (4.247), (4.231), (4.192), and (4.257) we get the differential equation
(4.258)
The voltage equation for the field circuit comes from (4.36)
(4.259)
which can be put in the same form as (4.228)
TdO i; = E FD - E (4.260)
where E is given by (4.248).
Equations (4.256), (4.258), and (4.260) give the time rate of change >---D' e;, and
E; in terms of i D, ed' and E. The auxiliary equations (4.245), (4.248), and (4.254) re-
late these quantities to id and iq , which in turn depend upon the load configuration. The
voltage e;' is calculated from (4.243).
To complete the model, the torque equation is needed. From (4.95),
T,q, = i q Ad - id >---q
By using (4.230) and recalling that in this model it is assumed that L:; = L;',
(4.261)

Example 4.6
Use the machine data from Examples 4.1-4.5 to derive the time constants and gains
for the E" model.
Solution
The time constant T:!O == 0.03046 s == 72.149 rad is already known from Exam-
ple 4.5. For the E" model we also need the following additional time constants.
From (4.192) the q axis subtransient open circuit time constant is
T~~ == LQ/rQ == 1.423 x 10- 3 / 18.969 x 10- 3 == 0.075 s == 28.279 rad
which is about twice the d axis subtransient open circuit time constant.
We also need the d axis transient open circuit time constant. It is computed from
(4.189) .
TdO == LF/rF == 2.189/0 .371 == 5.90 s == 2224.25 rad
Note that this time constant is about 30 times the subtransient time constant in the d

compared to that associated with r;o.
To compute the gains, the constant x;

4.15.3 Neglecting "A" and 'A, for a cylindrical rotor machine-the two-axis model
In the two-axis model the transient effects are accounted for, while the subtransient
effects are neglected [18]. The transient effects are dominated by the rotor circuits,
which are the field circuit in the d axis and an equivalent circuit in the q axis formed
by the solid rotor. An additional assumption made in this model is that in the stator
voltage equations the terms ~d and ~q are negligible compared to the speed voltage terms
and that w " J WR = 1 pu.
The machine will thus have two stator circuits and two rotor circuits. However, the
number of differential equations describing these circuits is reduced by two since ~d and
Xq are neglected in the stator voltage equations (the stator voltage equations are now
algebraic equations).
The stator transient flux linkages are defined by

The voltages e; and e; are the q a nd d components of a voltage e' behind tr ansient re-

e; e;
that since and a re d and q axis stator voltages, they represent v'3 times the equiva-
lent stator rms voltages. For example, we can verify that = v'JE;, as given by e;
(4 .203). Also, in this model the voltage e' , which corresponds to the transient flux link-
ages in the machine, is not a constant. Rather, it will change due to the changes in the
flux linkage of the d and q axi s rotor circuits.
We now develop the differential equations for the voltages and The d axis e; e;.

4.15.4 Neglecting amortisseur effects and Xd and Xli terms-the one-axis model
This model is sometimes referred to in the literature as the one-axis model. It is
similar to the model presented in the previous section except that the absence of the Q
circuit eliminates the differential equation for Ed or ej (which is a function of the
current iQ ) . The voltage behind transient reactance e' shown in Figure 4.16 has only

The simplified model used in Section 4.15.2 (voltage behind subtransient reactance)
is to be used in the system of one machine connected to an infinite bus through a trans-
mission line discussed previously in Section 4.13. The system equations neglecting
saturation are to be developed.
Solution
F or the case where saturation is neglected, the system equations are given by
(4.263)-(4.268). This set of differential equations is a function of the state variables e:J,
AD, E;,w, and 0 and the currents id and i q Equation (4.266) expresses as a linear e;'
combination of the variables and ADo E;
For the mathematical description of the system to be complete, equations for id and
iq in terms of the state variables are needed. These equations are obtained from the
load constraints.

The inductance versus frequency plot given In Figure 4.21 is nothing more than the
amplitude portion of the familiar Bode plot with the amplitude given in pu rather than
in decibels. The transfer functions plotted in Figure 4.21 can be approximated by the
superposition of multiple first-order asymptotic approximations. If this is done, the
break frequencies should give the constants of (4.304). The machine constants thus ob-
tained are given in the third column of Table 4.6. If, however, the machine constants
obtained from the standard data are used to obtain the breakpoints for the straight-line
approximation of the amplitude-frequency plots, the approximated curve does not pro-
vide a good fit to the experimental data. For example, the d axis time constant 'da of the
machine, as obtained by standard methods, is 4.3 s. If this is used to obtain the first
break frequency for log [1 j( I + T~OS)], the computed break frequency is
Ij,~o = Ij4.3 = 0.2326 radjs = 0.00062 pu (4.305)
The break point that gives a better fit of the experimental data corresponds to a
frequency of 0.1282 radjs or 0.00034 pu. Since the amplitude at this frequency is the
reciprocal of the d axis transient time constant, this corresponds to an adjusted value,
denoted by T~6, given by
'~6 = I j O. I282 = 7.8 s (4.306)
Reference [24] notes that the proper ajustment of T~o, T;O' and L; are all particu-
larly important in stability studies.
A study conducted by the Northeast Power Coordinating Council [26] concludes
that, in general, it is more important in stability studies to use accurate machine data
than to use more elaborate machine models. Also, the accuracy of any dynamic ma-
chine model is greatly improved when the so-called standard machine data are modified
to match the results of a frequency analysis of the solid iron rotor equivalent circuit.
At the time of this writing no extensive studies have been reported in the literature to
support or dispute these results.
Finally, a comparison of these results and the machine models presented in this
chapter are in order. The full model presented here is one of the models investigated in
the NPCC study [26] for solid rotor machines. It was found to be inferior to the more
146 Chapter 4
elaborate model based on two rotor windings in each axis. This is not surprising since
the added detail due to the extra q axis amortisseur should result in an improved simula-
tion. Perhaps more surprising is the fact that the model developed here with F, D, and
Q windings provided practically no improvement over a simpler model with only F and
Q windings. Furthermore, with the F-Q model based on time constants 7~0 and 7;0'
larger digital integration time steps are possible than with models that use the much
shorter time constants Td~ and T;~, as done in this chapter.
As a general conclusion it is apparent that additional studies are needed to identify
the best machine data for stability studies and the proper means for testing or estimating
these data. This is not to imply that the work of the past is without merit. The tra-
ditional models, including those developed in this chapter, are often acceptable. But.
as in many technical areas, improvements can and are constantly being made to pro-
vide mathematical form ulations that better describe the physical apparatus.

from the Q transformation of Problem 4. t
4.18 Show that the choice of a common time base in any coupled circuit automatically forces
the equality of VA base in all circuit parts and requires that the base mutual inductance be
the geometric mean of the self-inductance bases of the coupled windings; i.e.,
Sl8 = S28 M 128 = (L I8L28 ) ' / 2

slots/pole/phase, 3 phases, 6 slots/pole, 12 slots, 5/6 pitch. Sketch the slots and show two
coils of the phase a winding, coil I beginning in slot 1 (0) and coil 2 beginning in slot
7 (180). Label coil t sal-fa, (start a, and finish at) and coil 2 sa2-ja 2. Show the position
of Nand S salient poles and indicate the direction of pole motion.

notation, looking in at the coil ends, the direction of currents at time to, where at to
t, = Imax ib = - ( 1/2) I max ic = - ( 1/ 2) I max
Plot the M M F as positive when radially outward + t, enters sa I and + ib enters sb, but
+i c enters jc., Assume the MMF changes abruptly at the center line of the slot. The
M M F wave should be a stepwise sine wave. Is it radially outward along d or q?
4.23 Verify (4.138).

(4.141), given two different values of the variables AAD' i M O , and i M S '

AAD 1.20, (i M S - 1.2iMO)/1.2i M o = 0.40

1.2 0. Let AADT = 0.8 0.

The Simulation
of Synchronous Machines
5. 1 Introduction
This chapter covers some practical considerations in the use of the mathematical
models of synchronous machines in stability studies. Among these considerations are
the determination of initial conditions, determination of the parameters of the machine
from available data, and construction of simulation models for the machine.
In all dynamic studies the initial conditions of the system are required. This in-
cludes all the currents, flux linkages, and EM F's for the different machine circuits. The
number of these circuits depends upon the model of the machine adopted for the study.
The initial position of the rotor with respect to the system reference axis must also be
known. These quantities will be determined from the data available at the terminals
of the machine.
The machine models used in Chapter 4 require some data not usually supplied by
the manufacturer. Here we show how to obtain the required machine parameters from
typical manufacturer's data. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to the construc-
tion of simulation models for the synchronous machine. Both analog and digital
simulations are discussed.
or at steady state
iD = iQ = 0 (5.3)
Using (5.1) we may write the stator voltage equation from (4.74) as
(5.4)
From (4.5) with balanced conditions, Vo = O. Therefore, from (4.9) we may compute
Va = V273(VdCOSO + vq sin 8) (5.5)
where by definition 0 = WRt + 0 + 11"/2. Then from (5.4) and (5.5)
Va = V273[-(ri d + wLqiq)cos(wRt + 0 + 11"/2)
+(-riq + + () +
wLdid + kMFwiF)sin(U.'Rt 11"/2)]
V273[-(ri d + wLqiq)cos(wRt + 0 + 11"/2)
+ (-riq + wLdi d t kMFwiF)coS(WRt + 0)] (5.6)
At steady state the angular speed is constant, w = WR, and wL products may be de-
noted as reactances, or
(5.7)
From (4.226) we also identify
(5.8)
where E is the stator equivalent EMF corresponding to iF. Using phasor notation,'
the V2 multiplier of (5.6) is conveniently used to define the rms voltage phasor
where the superior bar indicates a total phasor quantity in magnitude and angle (a com-
plex number).
By using the relation j = 1Min (5.9),
Note that in this equation Va and E are stator rms phase voltages in pu, while id
and iq are de currents obtained from the modified Park transformation. The choice
of this particular transformation introduced the factor 1/V3 in the equation. To
simplify the notation we define the rms equivalent d and q axis currents as
t, ~ id /V3 t, ~ iq /V3 (5.11)
The stator current t, expressed as a phasor will have the two rectangular components
I q and I d Thus if the phasor reference is the q axis,
Ia = (Iq + jId) e j~ ( 5.12)
I. We define the phasor A = Ae j a as a complex number that is related to the corresponding time do-
main quantity a(/) by the relation a(l) = <Jl.e, (V2Ae JCI1 t ) = V2A cos (wI + a).

are given (i.e., if Va' fa' and the angle between them are known), construction of
the phasor diagram requires some manipulation of (5.15). However, an alternate pro-
cedure for locating the position of the q axis is illustrated in Figure 5.2, where it is
assumed that Va' fa' and the power factor angle are known. Starting with J:: (used
here as reference) the voltage drop rl; is drawn parallel to t.. Then the voltage
drop jxqTa is added (this is a phasor perpendicular to Ta). The end of that phasor (qa
in Figure 5.2) is located on the q axis. This can be verified by noting that the d axis
component of the phasor jXq~ is x q 4,
which is similar to that shown in Figure 5.1. Its
q axis component however is xqTd , which is different from that shown in Figure 5.1.
Thus to locate the phasor E in Figure 5.2, we add the phasor (x, - x q )Id to the phasor
e.;
5.3 Machine Connected to an Infinite Bus through a Transmission Line
To illustrate more fully the procedure for finding the machine steady-state condi-
tions, we solve the simple problem of one machine connected to an infinite bus through
a transmission line. Although this one-machine problem is far simpler than actual
systems, it serves well to illustrate the procedure of finding initial conditions for any
machine. As we shall see later, this simple problem helps us concentrate on concepts
without becoming engulfed in details.
The differential equations for one machine connected to an infinite bus through a
transmission line with impedance Z, = R, + jwRL e is given by (4.149). Under bal-
anced steady-state conditions with zero derivatives, (4.149) becomes
Vd = - vI3 V~ sin (0 - a) + Reid + wLei q
vq = V1v~ cos(o - a) + Reiq - wLei d (5.16)
Substituting for Vd and vq from (5.4) into (5.16),
-rid - wLqiq = - vl3vao sin(o - a) + Reid + wLei q
-riq + wLdi d + kMFwi F = vl3Vaocos(5 - a) + Reiq - wLeld
By using (5.7) and (5.11) and rearranging the above equations, we compute
E = Vao cos (0 - a) + (r + Re)/q - (x, + Xe)l d
o= - Vao sin(o - a) + (r + Re)ld + (x, + Xe}l q (5.17)
where X e = wL e Equations (5.17) represent the components of the voltages along
the q and d axes respectively. The phasor diagram described by these equations is
shown in Figure 5.3, where the phasor representing the infinite bus voltage Vao , with
the q axis as reference, is given by
(5.18)
Note that Figures 5.1 and 5.2 can be combined since the same q and d axes, the
same EM F E, and the same current I, are applicable to both. Thus in Figure 5.3 the
machine terminal voltage components Vd and ~ can be obtained using (5.15). An
alternate procedure would be to start with the phasor Vao in Figure 5.3, then add the
voltage drop ReIq - Xeld in the q axis direction and the voltage drop ReId + Xel, in
the d axis direction to obtain the phasor ii:,.
Again remember that in Figure 5.3 both I d and V~d are shown as negative quanti-
ties. The remarks concerning the location of the q axis starting from V~ and I,
are also applicable here.

5.4 Machine Connected to an Infinite Bus with Local Load at Machine Terminal
The equations that relate the infinite bus voltage V. to the stator equivalent EM F
E are given by (5 .17) . Note that this form of the equations does not give the machine
terminal voltage explicitly. Since the terminal voltage is a quantity of considerable
interest, we seek a solution in wh ich Vd and Vq are given explicitly. One convenient
method is to add a local load at the machine terminals, as shown in Figure 5.4.
For the system shown in Figure 5.4, the steady-state equations for the machine
voltages, EM F's, and currents are the same as given by (5.14), (5.15), and (5.12) re-
spectively. Equations (4.149), which at steady-state conditions are the same as (5 .16),
are still applicable except that the currents id and iq should be replaced by the currents
i'd and i,q . These are the d and q axis components of the transmission line current i,.
In other words, with the q axis as a reference,

currents and flux linkages can readily be determined once these basic quantities are
known .
In the case of a synchronous machine connected to an infinite bus the same pro-
cedure is followed if the conditions at the machine term inals are given. The voltage
of the infinite bus is then determined by subtracting the appropriate voltage drops to
the machine terminal voltage v.,.
If the terminal conditions at the infinite bus are given as the boundary conditions,
the position of the q axis is determined by a procedure similar to the above . The
machine d and q axis currents and voltages and the machine terminal voltage can then
be determined . This is illustrated in Examples 5.1 and 5.2 .
Case 2: Machine terminal conditions Va. l, and power factor are known .
From la, Va. and the power factor the position of the quadrature axis is deter-
mined (see Figure 5.2). From this information Id Vd , Iq , and Vq can be found. Also E
can be calculated from (5.13). From (5.36) and (5.37) the phasor 1 can be constructed .
The infinite bus voltage can then be determined by drawing Rdld + Xqlq parallel to the
d axis and Rqlq - x.t,
parallel to the q axis, as shown in Figure 5.7. Thus j7" and the
angle 0 - a are found, from which we can determine V.,d and V.,q . The current I, is
determined from (5.25), and the power at the infinite bus is given by 3(V"d/'d + V.,q/,q).
Case 3: Conditions at infinite bus are known.
From j7,.. T" and Z. the machine terminal voltage Va is calculated. Then from V
and ZL we can determine TL From TL and 7,. T" is found . Now the conditions at the
terminals of the machine are known and the complete phasor diagram can be con-
structed.

5.6 Examples
The procedures described are illustrated by several examples where different initial
conditions are given.
Example 5./
The machine described in Examples 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 is to be examined at rated
power and 0.85 PF lagging conditions (nameplate loading) . The terminal voltage is
1.0 pu. Calculate the steady -state operating conditions. If this machine is connected
by a transmission line of 0.02 + j0.40 pu impedance to a large system, find the infinite
bus voltage .
Solution
From previous examples and the prescribed boundary conditions the following
data are available:
Xd = 1.700 pu v. = 1.000 pu
xq = 1.640 pu R. = 0.02 pu
r = 0 .001096 pu L. = 0.4 pu
F; = cos cP = 0.850 Z. = 0.4005/87.138
From the given power, power factor , and voltage we compute
I a = 1.0/0.85 = 1.176 pu
The angle cP is computed from F, as cP = COS-I 0.85 = 31.788 . Then from (5.40)
I, = I, cos cP = 1.000 I, = I, sin cP = -0.620
From (5.42) and Figure 5.6
1.00 x 1.64 - 0.001096 x 0.620
(0 - (3) = arctan 1.000 + 0 .620 x 1.64 + 1.00 x 0 .001096
arctan 0 .8126 = 39.096
and 0 - {3 + cP = 31.788 + 39.096 = 70.884 = angle by which Ia lags the q axis.
Then from (5.44)
160 Chapter 5
Now using (5.8) in pu, iF = v1 E/LAD where, from Example 4.1, LAD = 1.55 pu.
Then
iF = (v1 x 2.666)/1.55 = 2.979 pu
The currents iD and iQ are both zero. The flux linkages are given in pu by
Ad = Ldid + k M FiF = 1.70( - 1.925) + (1.55)(2.979) = 1.345
AAD = (id + iF) k M F = (2.979 - 1.925)( 1.55) = 1.634
Aq = Lqiq = 1.64 x 0.667 = 1.094
AAQ = k M Qiq = 1.49 x 0.667 = 0.994
AF = kMFid + LFiF = 1.55(-1.925) + (1.651)(2.979) = 1.935
AD = k M Did + M Rif = 1.55(2.979 - 1.925) = 1.634 = AAO
AQ = kMQiq = 0.994 = AAQ
As a check we calculate the electrical torque Te , which should be numerically equal to
the three-phase power in pu.
Tet/J = iq Ad - id Aq
= 0.667 x 1.345 + 1.925 x 1.094 = 3.004
Then T, = 1.001 pu.
If we subtract the three-phase 12r losses, we confirm the generated power to be
exactly P = T, .- ,[~ = 1.000. We also calculate the infinite bus voltage for this
operating condition. We can write V = ~ - Ze J:. lXl
Thus we have Voo = 0.828 pu, and {3 - a = 27.899 = the angle by which ~ leads

Example 5.2
Let the same synchronous machine as in Example 5.1 be connected to an infinite
bus through a transm ission line hav ing R, = 0.02 pu, and L, = X, = 0.4 pu . The in-
finite bus voltage is 1.0 pu. The machine loading rema ins the same as before
(P = 1.0 pu at 0.85 PF) .
The boundary conditions given in this example are "mixed"; i.e., the voltage is
known at one point (the infinite bus), while the power and reactive power are known at
a different po int (the machine terminal) . A slight modification of the procedure of
Example 5.1 is needed .
Solution
A good approximation is to assume that the power at the infinite bus is the same as
at the machine terminals by neglecting the ohmic power loss in the transmission line
(since R, is small) . A better approximation is to assume a power loss in the transmis-
sion line based on some estimate of current (say 1.0 pu current).
Let I~ R, = (1.00)2 (0.020) = 0.02 pu. Then the power at the infinite bus is 0.980
pu and the component of the current in phase with V~ is I, = 0.980 pu . The angle 8
between I, and V", is given by
tan 8 = Ix/I, = 1.020 I,
The angle 13 between Va and V", is given by an equation similar to (5.42), viz.,
tan {3 = XiI, + R,Ix 0 .392 + 0.02/x
V", - XlIx + R,I, 1.020 - OAlx
The power factor angle at the machine terminal rJ> is given by
rjJ = {3 +8= COS -I 0.85 = 31.788
These angles are shown in Figure 5.8, with V", used as reference; i.e., a = O. Then
tan rJ> = tan (COS -I 0.85) = 0.620 . Using the identity
tan rJ> = (tan (3 + tan 8)/( I - tan (3 tan 8)
we compute
0.620 = -1.0201 x + (0.392 + 0.02l x)/(1.020 - OAlx )
1+ [1.020(0.392 + 0.02l x)/x]j(1.020 - OAl x )
from which we get I, = -0.217 pu .

Solution
The internal machine currents, flux linkages, and voltages are the same as in
Example 5.1. Thus, in pu,

E = 2.666
From the local load information
IlL I = 0.4/(1.0 x 0.8) = 0.5 pu
Therefore lL = 0.4 - jO.3 pu.
We can also determine that, in pu,
RL = 1.6 ZL = 2.0
Thus we compute from (5.34)
AI = (1.6 x 0.1 + 1.2 x 0.4)/(2.0)2 = 0.16
A2 = (1.6 x 0.4 - 1.2 x 0.1)/(2.0)2 = 0.13
Then

Rq = 0.1 + 0.001096 x 1.16 - 0.13 x 1.64 = -0.119

Xq = 0.4 + 1.64 x 1.16 + 0.001096 x 0.13 = 2.303
From (5.37)
Vood = - Voo sin (8 - a) = -(-1.112)(-0.1197) - (0.385)(2.303) + (0.13)(2.666)

be chosen quite arbitrarily. Once it is chosen, however, it should not be changed during
the course of the study. In addition, during the study it will be assumed that this refer-
ence frame is maintained at synchronous speed.
Consider the ith machine. Let its terminal voltage phasor Va; be at an angle 13;
with respect to the arbitrary reference frame, and let the q axis be at an angle 0; with
respect to the same reference. Note that 13; is determined from the load-flow study data,
while 0; is the desired initial angle of the machine q axis, which indicates the rotor
position. The difference between these two angles (0; - 13;) is the load angle or the
angle between the q axis and the terminal voltage.
From the load-flow data we can determine for each machine the component I, of
the terminal current in phase with the terminal voltage and the quadrature component
Ix. By using an equation similar to (5.42), we can determine the angle 0; - P; for
this machine. Then by adding the angle P;, we get the angle 0;, which is the initial
rotor angle of machine i.
From Va; and 0; we can determine Iq;, Id ;, Vd ;, and Vq;, which can be used in (5.14)
or (5.15) to determine E;. Then from (5.7) iF; can be determined. The flux linkages
can also be calculated once the d and q components of fa are known.
Parameters: Of the several reactances supplied, the values of primary interest here
are the so-called unsaturated reactances. They are usually given in pu to the base of the
machine three-phase rating, peak-rated stator voltage to neutral, peak-rated stator cur-
rent, and with the base rotor quantities chosen to force reciprocity in the nonreciprocal
Park's transformed equations. This is necessary because of the choice of Park' trans-
formation Q (4.22) traditionally used by the manufacturers. The following data are
commonly supplied.

Also the stator pu inductances are known from the corresponding reactance values.
Th us Ld , L;, L;', t.; L;, L;', L 2 , t.; and {d are known.
Rotor base quantities: If {d in pu is known, then LAD in pu is determined from
LAD = L, - {d' the corresponding value of LAD in H is then calculated. The mutual
field-to-stator inductance M F in H is determined from the air gap line on the no-load
saturation curve as VIVo = woM FiF, where iF is the field current that gives the rated
voltage in the air gap line.
The base rotor quantities are then determined from (4.55) and (4.56); the base
mutual inductance M FB is calculated from (4.57).
Rotor per unit quantities: Calculation of the rotor circuit leakage inductances is
made with the aid of the equivalent circuits in Figure 5.10. The field-winding leakage
inductance {F is calculated from Figure 'i. IO(a) by inspection:

The same procedure is repeated for the q axis circuits.

where {q {d and {Q is determined from Figure 5.11 by inspection:
L;' = t q + {QLAQ/({Q + L AQ) (5.55)
from which we can obtain
tQ = LAQ[(L;' - {q)/(L q - L;')] (5.56)
and the self-inductance of the q axis amortisseur is given by
LQ = LA Q + t Q (5.57)
Resistances: The value used for the stator winding resistance should be that which
corresponds to the generator operating temperature at the rated load. If this data is not
available, a temperature rise of 80-1 OOC is usually assumed, and the winding resistance
is calculated accordingly. Thus for copper winding the stator resistance for 100C tem-
perature rise is given by
'125 = '25 [(234.5 + 125)/(234.5 + 25)] n (5.58)
The same procedure can be used to estimate the field resistance at an assumed operating
temperature. However, other information is available to estimate the field resistance.
From (4.189) we compute

where T~O is given in pu time. The damper winding resistances may be estimated from
the subtransient time constants. From (4.187) and (4.190) the d axis subtransient time
constant is given by

Since all the inductances in (5.60) are known, 'D can be determined. Similarly, from
(4.192) and (4.193) rQ can be found,

To place the matter in the proper perspective, recall that the state-space model of a
synchronous machine connected to an infinite bus is a set of seven first-order, non-
linear differential equations. When the equations for the excitation system (for VF) and
the mechanical torque (for Tm ) are also added, the system is typically described by 14
differential equations. Complete representation of only one synchronous machine with
its controls would occupy the major part of a large-size analog computer. Thus while
the analog computer is well adapted for the study of synchronous machine dynamics,
it is usually limited to problems involving one or two machines with full representation
or to a small number of machines represented by simplified models [2,3,4,5].
The model most suited for analog computer representation is the flux linkage
model. Thus the equations developed in Section 4.12 are used for the analog simula-
tion. The differential equations will be modified, however, to avoid differentiation. For
example the state-space equation of the variable Xi is
Xi = J;(x,u,t} (5.62)
where xj ' j = 1,2, ... , n, are the state variables, and u., k 1,2, ... .r, are the driv-
ing functions.

note that signals are added by using the appropriate setting for the potentiometers
associated with the various amplifiers and integrators scaled to operate within the
analog computer rating. This scaling is best illustrated by an example, and in Example
5.6 the scaling is given in detail for the simulation of the synchronous machine.
The initial conditions may be calculated from the steady-state equations (as in
Examples 5.1--5.3), and these values may be used to initialize the integrators. However,
the analog computer may be used to compute these initial conditions. To initialize the
system for analog computation, the following procedure is used. The integrator for the
speed is kept at hold position, maintaining the speed constant. The integrators for the
flux linkages are allowed to operate with the torque Tm at zero. This builds the flux
linkages to values corresponding to the no-load conditions. The load T; is then applied
with the speed integrator in operation. The steady-state conditions thus reached cor-
respond to initialization of the system for transient studies.
Example 5.6
The synchronous machine discussed in Examples 4.1-4.3, 5.1, and 5.2 is to be simu-
lated on an analog computer. The operating conditions as stated in Example 5.1
represent the steady-state conditions. The system response to changes in vF and Tm is
to be examined.
Solution
The data for the synchronous machine and transmission line in pu is given by:
L, = 1.700 LMD = 0.02838
Lq = 1.640 L MQ = 0.02836
L D = 1.605 r = 0.001096
LQ = 1.526 'F = 0.00074
LAD = 1.550 'D = 0.0131
LA Q = 1.490 'Q = 0.0540
LF = 1.651 R = 100.0
t d = {,q = 0.150 R, = 0.02
t F = 0.101
{D = 0.055 H = 2.37 s
t Q = 0.036 T~o = 5.90 s
L(' = 0.400 Vex> = 0.828
The additional data needed is T; = 1.00 pu and EFD = 2.666. Note that EFD = E in
the steady state. This value of EFD with the proper scaling is introduced into the in-
tegrator for ~F'
As explained in Section 5.9.5, the analog computer is made to initialize itself by
allowing the integrators to reach the steady-state conditions in two steps. In the first
step EFD is applied with T; = 0 and W = WR = constant. Then Tm is switched on
with all integrators, including the W integrator, in operation.
The basic connection diagrams for the analog simulation are given in Figures 5.12
5.17. The overall connection diagram is shown in Figure 5.18. In that figure the analog
unit numbers and the scaling factors for the various signals are given; e.g., the scaling
factor for ~F is 10, which is given in parentheses. The time scaling used is 20. The
settings of the various potentiometers and the scaling are listed in Table 5.1.

Fig .5.19 Response of a machine initially at 90~~ load and 90% excitation to a 20% step change in excita-
tion .
The steady-state conditions reached by the analog computer are listed in Table 5.2.
They are compared with the values computed in Example 5.1.
Figures 5.19-5.21 show the following analog computer outputs: the change in the
exciter voltage Em, the mechanical torque Tm</>, the electromagnetic torque T,</>, the
field flux linkage AF , the stator d axis current i d , the terminal voltage error V'6' the
angular velocity error w 6 , and the rotor angle o. The results of the simulation are
shown in Figures 5.19-5 .23, where all plotted quantities are given in pu. Example 5.1 is
used as a base for the computer runs. Thus a 10% change in EFD is 0.2666, which is
10% of the nominal value computed in Example 5.1. Sim ilarly, 10% Tm 4> is 0.3 pu, and
zero V,6 corresponds to a terminal voltage V, of v'3 pu (or V, = 1.0).

Fig .5 .20 Response of a machine initially at 100% load (Example 5.1 cond itions) to a 10% increase in Tm
followed by a 10% increase in E FD to assure stable operation .
Figure 5.19 shows the response of the loaded machine to a 20% change in EFD The
generator is initially loaded at 90% of rated load (Tm<l> = 2.7). Note that the response
to this change in EFD does not excite an oscillatory response except for a small, well-
damped oscillation in w 6 The terminal voltage responds nearly as a first-order system
with a time constant of about 4 s (rdO = 5.9 s).
Figure 5.20 shows the system response to 10% step changes in both T'; and EFD The
system is initially in exactly the condition calculated in Example 5.1 with computer
voltages given in Table 5.2. A 10% increase in T'; is the first disturbance. This excites a
well-damped oscillatory response, particularly in T., i d , v" w, and ~ (as well as other
variables that are not plotted). A good degree of damping is evident. However, this

overload on the system results in a gradual increase in (; with time, which if not arrested
will cause the machine to fall out of step. Repeated runs of the system have indicated
that corrective action is required before (; reaches about 95 . The corrective action
chosen was a 10% increase in EFD This quickly restores the system to a stable operating
state at about the same angle (; as the initial angle, but at a higher >"F than the initial
value.
Figure 5.21 is similar to 5.20 except that the increments of T; and EFD are each 20% .
fhe system is initially at 9U~~ load and 90% E FD(0 .9 x 2.666 = 2.399) . Then a 20% step

by the rapid increase in (; and the drop in terminal voltage. A 20% increase in Em is

applied at about the time 0 reaches 100, and the system is quickly restored to a stable
operating state. Finally, the excess load and excitation are removed .
Figure 5.22 shows a plot in the phase plane, or W A versus 0, for exactly the same dis-
turbances as shown in Figure 5.20. The system "spirals" to the right, first very fast and
later very slowly, following the 10% increase in Tm Just prior to loss of synchronism a

10%, increase in Ero causes the system to return to about the original 0, following along
the lower traje ctory .
Figure 5.23 shows an example of a stable phase-plane trajectory. The system is

A 10%, increase in Tm causes the system to oscillate and to seek a new stable value of o.

value of 0 in the stable case.

in Figure 5.24. There are several proven methods for performing the actual numerical
integration, some of which are presented in Appendix E. Our concern in this book is
not with numerical methods, although this is important. Our principal concern is the
mathematical model used in the simulation. A number of models are given in Chap-
ter 4. We shall use the flux linkage model of Section 4.12 to illustrate a digital pro-
gram for calculating synchronous machine behavior in a numerical exercise.
S G -- A Ge BGvA (5.82)
where VA = V, - 0.8. Since at open circuit '>-..AO = v'3v" we can also compute satura-
tion in terms of '>-..AO'
(5 .83)
This is appealing since '>-..AO = (id + iF + io)L Ao and LAo is the only inductance that
saturates appreciably.
If SGI and SG2 a re given, these values can be substituted into (5.82) to solve for the
saturation parameters A G and BG From (5 .81) and (5.82) we write
0.2BG 0.4BG
SGI = A Ge I .2SG2 = A Ge (5.84)
Rearranging, we compute
In(I.2SGdAG) = OABG (5 .85)
Then
or
A G = Sbl/I.2SG2 (5 .86)
This result may be subst ituted into (5.85) to compute
tive value in this voltage range. The exponential function thus gives a reasonably
accurate estimate of saturation for any voltage.
From (5.81) we can write for any voltage level,
SG = (iF - ki FO)/ki FO (5.88)
where iF is the field current required to produce an open circuit voltage ~, including
the effect of saturation. If the air gap line has a slope (resistance) R we have ~ =
RkiFo Then, from (5.81)
Example 5.7
Determine the constants A G and BG needed to compute saturation by means of the
exponential definition, given the following data from the saturation curve.
~ = 1.0 pu SGI = 30 A
~ = 1.2 pu SG2 = 120 A
The field current corresponding to ~ = 1.0 on the air gap line is i FO = 365 A.
Solution
From (5.81) we compute in pu
SGI = 30/365 = 0.08219 120/1.2(365) = 0.27397
Then from (5.86)
AG = (0.08219)2/1.2(0.27397) = 0.0205
and from (5.87)
BG = Sin [1.2(0.27397/0.08219] = 6.9315

linkage model for one machine against an infinite bus using the machine data of the

Solution
An essential part of the computer program is a routine to compute the initial condi-
tions . As noted in Examples 5.1-5 .3. this computation depends upon the bound ary
conditions that are specified. The boundary conditions chosen for this example are
those of Example 5.3, viz., P a nd V, at the generator terminals. The FORTRAN
coding for this section of the program is included in the portion of the program listing
in Figure 5.26 called INITIAL. Note that the statement of the problem does not give
any explicit numerical boundary condition. This is one of the advantages of a. com-
puter program ; once it is written and verified. problems with different boundary condi-
tions but of the same type can be solved with ease. The boundary conditions specified
in Figure 5.26 give P = 1.00 (PG EN), V, = 1.17 (YT), and V", = 1.00 (YIN F).
I. Make a preliminary estimate of hAD (hAD is named WADS in the program ; W being
used for hand S meaning "saturated").
(5.90)
we compute an estimate of the new currents. This estimate is not exact because the
value of AAD used in (5.91) is the value computed at the start of the last dt,
whereas the flux linkages Ad . Af, and AD are the integrated new values. Thus i MD
computed by (5.91) does not correspond to point A of Figure 5.27, but to some new
point B. Since hAD is a function of the currents and of saturation, we must find the
correct new AAD iteratively . We do this by changing our estimated hAD slightly
until i MD agrees with AAD on the saturation curve, or until points A and B of Figure
5.27 coincide.
3. To estimate the new AAD. we compute the saturation function SGD = f(hAD) in the
Fig .5.27 Saturation curve for the magnet izing ind ucta nce LAD.

usual way, using (5.83). Then we compute AO and AN, defined in Figure 5.27,
Then the error measured on the air gap line is AE = AN - AO' and the error mea-
sured on the saturation curve is approximately
AA = AE/(I + SGD)
Now define a new AAD to be GAO' defined as GAD = AAD + AA' Then we compute
GAD = AAD + (AN - Ao)/(I + SGo) = LADiMD/(1 + SGD)
4. Now we test GAD to see if it is significantly different from AAD; i.e., we compute
I GAD - AAD I~ f
where f is any convenient precision index, such as 10- 4 If the test fails, we esti-
mate a new AAD from
new AAD ~ FAD = AAD - h(G AD - AAD)
where h is chosen to be a number small enough to prevent overshoot; typically,
h = 0.01. Now the entire procedure is repeated, returning to step I with the AAD =
FAD, finding new currents, etc. As the process converges, we will know both the new
current and the new saturated value of AAO'
The second part of the program computes the integrands of all equations in prepa-
ration for integration (integration is indicated in the program by the macro INTGTL).
The computer program for updating the integrands is shown in Figure 5.28.
The computed output of several variables to a step change in Tm and EFD is
shown in Figures 5.29-5.40. Computer mnemonics are given in Table 5.3. In both
cases, the step input is applied at t = TST ART = 0.2 s.

in Table 5.1 that will be affected.

Linear Models of
the Synchronous Machine
6. 1 Introduction
A brief review of the response of a power system to small impacts is given in Chap-
ter 3. It is shown that when the system is subjected to a small load change, it tends
to acquire a new operating state. During the transition between the initial state and
the new state the system behavior is oscillatory. If the two states are such that all
the state variables change only slightly (i.e., the variable Xi changes from XiO to
XiO + XiA where XiA is a small change in Xi)' the system is operating near the initial
state. The initial state may be considered as a quiescent operating condition for the
system.
To examine the behavior of the system when it is perturbed such that the new and
old equilibrium states are nearly equal, the system equations are linearized about the
quiescent operating condition. By this we mean that first-order approximations are
made for the system equations. The new linear equations thus derived are assumed to
be valid in a region near the quiescent condition.
The dynamic response of a linear system is determined by its characteristic equation
(or equivalent information). Both the forced response and the free response are de-
cided by the roots of this equation. From a point of view of stability the free response
gives the needed information. If it is stable, any bounded input will give a bounded
and therefore a stable output.
The synchronous machine models developed in Chapter 4 have two types of non-
linearities: product nonlinearities and trigonometric functions. The first-order approxi-
mations for these have been illustrated in previous chapters and are outlined below.
As an example of product nonlinearities, consider the product x.x., Let the state
variables X; and Xj have the initial values X;o and x.. Let the changes in these variables
be XiA and XjA' Initially their product is given by XiOXjO' The new value becomes
(X;O + X;A)(XjO + xjA ) = XiOXjO + XiOXjA + XjOXiA + X;AXjA
The last term is a second-order term, which is assumed to be negligibly small. Thus
for a first-order approximation, the change in the product x.x, is given by
(6.1 )
We note that xjo and X;o are known quantities and are treated here as coefficients, while
and XjA are "incrementa)" variables.
XiA
208
linear Models of the Synchronous Machine 209
At the occurrence of a small disturbance, i.e., after 1 16, the states will change
slightly from their previous positions or values. Thus
(6.5)
In expanding (6.7) all second-order terms are neglected; i.e., terms of the form
Xi!~XjA are assumed to be negligibly small. The system (6.7) becomes

When the machine is loaded, certain terms in these matrices change from the
numeric values given to reflect the impedance of the connecting system. For example,
when loaded through a transmission line to a large system, r, l-. and L, change

Note that the only driving functions in the system (6.29) are the field voltage V F 4
and the mechanical torque Tm 4 Initially, the machine is spinning at synchronous
speed and is delivering some known power to the infinite bus. A change in either
VF or T; will cause the system to seek a new operating point, and this change is
usually accompanied by damped oscillations of the variables.

Example 6.3
Find the eigenvalues of the A matrix of the linearized system of Example 6.2.
Examine the stability of the system. Generator loading is that of Example 5.2.
Solution
To perform the computation of the eigenvalues for the A matrix obtained in Ex-
ample 6.2, a digital computer program is used. The results are given below,
AI = -0.0359 + jO.9983 As = -0.0016 + jO.0289
A2 = -0.0359 - jO.9983 A6 = -0.0016 - jO.0289
A3 = -0.0991 A7 = -0.0007
A4 = -0.1217
All the eigenvalues are given in rad/rad, Note that there are two pairs of complex
eigenvalues. The pair As and A6 correspond to frequencies of approximately 1.73 Hz;
they are damped with a time constant of 1/(0.0016 x 377) or 1.66 s. This complex
pair and the real pole due to A7 dominate the transient response of the system. The
other complex pair corresponds to a very fast transient of about 60 Hz, which is
damped at a much faster rate. This is the 60-Hz component injected into the rotor
circuits to balance the M MF caused by the stator de currents. Note also that the
real parts of all the eigenvalues are negative, which means that the system is stable
under the conditions assumed in the development of this model, namely small perturba-
tion about a quiescent operating condition.
Example 6.4
Repeat the above example for the system conditions stated in Example 5.1.
Solution
A procedure similar to that followed in ExampJes 6.2 and 6.3 gives the following

For a system of one machine connected to an infinite bus through a transmission
line, the load equations are given by (4.157) and (4.158). These are then linearized to
give
where
and R = r + Re and K = V3 VQO' The linearized equations of the system are (6.33),
(6.34), (6.36), and (6.37)-(6.40) and 8A = WA. In matrix form we write
TA=:CA+D (6.41 )
where the matrices T, C, and 0 are similar to those defined in Section 4.13.3 for the
nonlinear model.
If the state equations are written out in the form of(6.41) and compared with the
nonlinear equations (4.159)-(4.162), several interesting observations can be made.
First, we can show that the matrix T is exactly the same as (4.160). The matrix C is
similar, but not exactly the same as (4.161). If we writeC as
dFD qQ wo

___ L __ -.l __

C = C4 ,
I C, ,
I C6
---J----;--
C7 : C s : C9
linear Models of the Synchronous Machine 219
with partitioning as in (4.161), we can observe that C" Cs, and C9 are exactly the
same as in the nonlinear equation. Submatrices C2 and C4 are exactly as in (4.161) if w
is replaced by W00 Submatrices C3 , C6 , C7 , and C, are considerably changed, however,
and C3 and C6 , which were formerly zero matrices, now become
- XqO v1 V oo cos (00 - a)

C

where a is the angle of V:lO and 00 is the initial angle of the q axis, each measured from
the arbitrary reference.
We may write matrices C7 and C, as

where AADO and AAQO are the initial values of AAD and AAQ respectively. Finally, we note
the new D matrix to be
D = [0 vFa 0: 0 0: Tma/T j 0]' (6.45)
Assuming that the inverse of T exists, we can premultiply both sides of (6.42) by
T- 1 to obtain
(6.46)
which is of the form
x= Ax + Bu (6.47)
The matrices A and B will have constant coefficients, which are dependent upon the
quiescent operating conditions.
Note that the matrices A and B will not be the same here as in the current model.
Since the choice of the state variables is arbitrary, there are many other equations that
could be written. The order of the system does not change, however, and there are still
seven degrees of freedom in the solution.
Example 6.5
Obtain the matrices T, C, and A of the flux linkage model for the operating condi-
tions discussed in the previous examples.

AdO = 1.676
AFo = 2.200

Note that some of the elements of the matrices C, and C, in this example are somewhat
different from those in Example 4.4 since the resistance R is not the same in both ex-
amples.
The A matrix is given by
The eigenvalues of this matrix are the same as those obtained in Example 6.3 and cor-
respond to the loading condition of Example 5.2.
For the operating condition of Example 5.1 we obtain the same matrix T. For this
operating condition the initial conditions in pu are given by AdO = 1.345~ AFO = 1.935,
ADO = 1.634, Aqo = 1.094, AQo = 0.994, K cos (00 - a) = 0.5607, and K sin (00 - a) =
1.3207.
The matrix C for the operating conditions of Example 5.1 is given by
o 0 0: 0 0: 1000 0
The eigenvalues obtained are the same as those given in Example 6.4 and correspond to
the loading condition "f Example 5.1.

V3EFD = wRkMFvF/'F
Using the above definitions and TdO defined by (4.189), we get from (6.49) in the s do-
main
E FD = (1 + T;os)E; - (Xd - X;)/d (6.50)
where /d = i d / -v1 and s is the Laplace transform variable. Also using the above
definition for E;, we can arrange the second equation in (6.48) to give

linear Models of the Synchronous Machine 223
where E is as defined in Section 4.7.4. Note that (6.50) and (6.51) are linear.
From (4.149) and (4.74) and from the assumptions made in the simplified model,
we compute u, and uq for infinite bus loading to be
Ud = - WRLqi q = - V1 Vex> sin (0 - a) + R~id + wRL~iq
uq = WRLdid + wRkMFiF = V3 vex> cos(o - a) + Rti q - wRL~id (6.52)
Linearizing (6.52),
o= -R~iq6 + (x, + Xt )id6 + wRkMFiF6 + [K sin (00 - a)]06
o= - R~i.1J1 - (x, + X~)iqJ1 + [K cos (00 - a)] 06 (6.53)
where K = V3vex> and Voo is the infinite bus voltage to neutral.
Rearranging (6.51) and (6.53),
-(x~ + X~)ldJ1 + R~lqJ1 = ;6 + [Vex> sin (00-a)]oJ1
R~ldJ1 + (x, + X~)lqJ1 = [Vex> cos (00 - a)loA (6.54)
Solving (6.54) for Id6 and Iq6' we compute
ld6] = K/ [-(X q + Xt) e, cos (00- a) - (Xq + Xt) sin (0 0- a)] [;6 J (6.55)
[ Iq6 R~ (X~ + Xe ) cos (00 - a) + R, sin (00 - a) Vex> 06
where
K/ = 1/[R; + (x, + X~) (x~ + X e ) ] (6.56)
We now substitute ld into an incremental version of (6.50) to compute
E FD 4 = (1/K3 + T~O S)E~4 + K4 84 (6.57)
where we define (in agreement with [2])
1/ K) = 1 + K/(Xd - x~)(Xq + Xe )
K4 = VooK/(x d - x~)[(Xq + Xe)sin(oo - a) - Recos(oo - a)] (6.58)
Then from (6.58) and (6.57) we get the following s domain relation
(6.59)
[Note that (6.59) differs from (3.10) because of the introduction here of E FD rather than
uF . ] From (6.59) we can identify that K) is an impedance factor that takes into account
the loading effect of the external impedance, and K4 is related to the demagnetizing ef-
fect of a change in the rotor angle; i.e.,

We should point out the similarity between the constant K, in (6.67) and the synchroniz-

We can tabulate the data from Example 5.1 as follows.

We note that for this example the constant K) is greater in magnitude than in Ex-
ample 6.6. The constant K , corresponds to the synchronizing power coefficient dis-
cussed in Chapter 2. The greater value in this example is indicative of a lower loading
condition or a greater ability in this case to transmit synchronizing power.
K 2 = 0.759810.4047[(0.02)2 + (2.04)2] + (2.474)(0.02)1 = 1.3174

TeA = 1.4479 00 + 1.3174 E'~A
~A = 0.02940/:1 + 0.5257 E;/:1
Examining the values of the constants K, through K6 for the loading conditions of
Exam pies 6.6 and 6.7, we note the following:
I. The constant K3 is the same in both cases. From (6.57) and (6.58) we note that K3
is an impedance factor and hence is independent of the machine loading.
2. The constants K K2 , K 4 , and K 6 are comparable in magnitude in both cases,
"
while K, has reversed sign. From (6.58), (6.67), and (6.71) we note that these con-
stants depend on the initial machine loading.
The cases studied in the above examples represent heavy load conditions. Certain
effects are clearly demonstrated. In the heavier loading condition of Example 6.6, K5
has a value of -0.0409, and in the less severe loading condition of Example 6.7 its
value is 0.0294. This is rather significant, and in Chapter 8 it will be pointed out that
in machines with voltage regulators, the system damping is affected by the constant Ks.
If this constant is negative, the voltage regulator decreases the natural damping of the
system (at that operating condition). This is usually compensated for by the use of sup-
plementary signals to produce artificial damping.
From Examples 6.6 and 6.7 we note that the demagnetizing effect of the armature
reaction as manifested by the E;A dependence is quite significant. This effect is more
pronounced in relation to the change in the terminal voltage.
To illustrate the demagnetizing effect of the armature reaction, let EFD~ = 0; then
E;A = [K 3K4/(1 + K 3 T~OS)]O/:1 (6.74)
and substituting in the expression for Te /:1 we get,
TeA = [K 1 - K 2K3K4/(1 + K 3 T~OS)]OA (6.75)
The bracketed term is the synchronizing torque coefficient taking into account the
effect of the armature reaction. Initially, the coefficient K, is reduced by a factor
K2K4/T~O'
Similarly, substituting in the expression for J!;A'
Jt; A = [ Ks - K3 K4 K6 / (I + K3 T ~o s)] 0A ( 6.76)
The second term is usually much larger in magnitude than K s' and initially the
change in the terminal voltage is given by
V,A],=o = -(K4K6/T~O)OA (6.77)

The effects of the machine loading on the constants K, K 2 , K 4 , Ks. and K 6 are
studied in reference [3] for a one machine-infinite bus system very similar to the system
in the above examples except for zero external resistance. The results are shown in Fig-
ure 6.1 .
To illustrate the difference between the two models, the same system in Example 6.7
is solved by the classical model.

Using the classical model discussed in Chapter 2, solve the system of Example 6.7.

Solution
The network used in the classical model is shown in Figure 6.2. The phasor
E= E L! is the constant voltage behind transient reactance. Note that the angle {) here
is not the same as the rotor angle 0 discussed previously; it is the angle of the fictitious
voltage E. The phasors ~ and Vac are the machine terminal voltage and the in-
finite bus voltage respectively.
For convenience we will use the pu system used (or implied) in Chapter 2, i.e.,
based on the three-phase power. Therefore,
E = E fl- = 1 + jO.O + (0.020 + jO.645)(0.980 - jO.217)
= 1.3186/28.43
The synchronizing power coefficient is given by
To compare with the value of K, in Example 6.7 we note the difference in the pu sys-
tem, K, = 1.448. Thus the classical model gives a larger value of the synchronizing
power coefficient than that obtained when the demagnetizing effect of the armature re-
action is taken into account.
To obtain the linearized equation for V" neglecting R, we get

Excitation Systems
Three principal control systems directly affect a synchronous generator: the boiler
control, governor, and exciter. This simplified view is expressed diagramatically in
Figure 7.1, which serves to orient our thinking from the problems of representation of
the machine to the problems of control. In this chapter we shall deal exclusively with
the excitation system, leaving the consideration of governors and boiler control for
Part III.

the governor controls the torque or the shaft power input and the excitation system con-
trols Eg , the internally generated EMF.
Example 7.1
Consider the generator of Figure 7.2 to be operating at a lagging power factor with
a current I, internal voltage Eg , and terminal voltage V . Assume that the input power is
held constant by the governor. Having established this initial operating condition, as-
sume that the excitation is increased to a new value Assume that the bus voltage E; .
is held constant by other machines operating in parallel with this machine, and find the
new value of current l ', the new power factor cos 0: and the new torque angle <5 ~
Solution
This problem without numbers may be solved by sketching a phasor diagram . In-
deed, considerable insight into learning how the control system functions is gained by
this experience.
The in itial operating condition is shown in the phasor diagram of Figure 7.3.
Under the operating conditions specified, the output power per phase may be expressed
in two ways : first in terms of the generator terminal conditions
P = VI cos 0 (7.1 )
and second In terms of the power angle, with saliency effects and stator resistance
neglected,
P = (EgVjX) sin <5 (7 .2)
In our problem P and V are constants. Therefore, from (7 .1)
/ cos 0 = k, (7.3)
where k, is a constant. Also from (7 .2)
Eg sin <5 k2 (7.4)
where k 2 is a constant.

Figure 7.4 shows the phasor diagram of Figure 7.3, but with k, and k2 shown graph-
ically. Thus as the excitation is increased, the tip of Eg is constrained to follow the
dashed line of Figure 7.4, and the tip of I is similarly constrained to follow the vertical
dashed line . We also must observe the physical law that requires that phasor IX and
phasor TIie at right angles. Thus we construct the phasor diagram of Figure 7.5, which
shows the "before and after" situation . We observe that the new equilibrium condition
requires that (I) the torque angle is decreased, (2) the current is increased, and (3) the
power factor is more lagging; but the output power and voltage are the same.
By similar reasoning we can evaluate the results of decreasing the excitation and of
changing the governor setting. These mental exercises are recommended to the student
as both interesting and enlightening.

Note that in Example 7.1 we have studied the effect of going from one stable op-
erating condition to another. We have ignored the transient period necessary to accom-
plish this change, with its associated problems-the speed of response, the nature of the
transient (overdamped, underdamped , or critically damped), and the possibility of
saturation at the higher value of Eg These will be topics of concern in this chapter.
Exciter power
source
any system. In many present-day systems the exciter is a de generator driven by either
the steam turbine (on the same shaft as the generator) or an induction motor. An in-
creasing number are solid-state systems consisting of some form of rectifier or thyristor
system supplied from the ac bus or from an alternator-exciter.
The voltage regulator is the intelligence of the system and controls the output of
the exciter so that the generated voltage and reactive power change in the desired way.
In earlier systems the "voltage regulator" was entirely manual. Thus the operator ob-
served the terminal voltage and adjusted the field rheostat (the voltage regulator) until
the desired output conditions were observed. In most modern systems the voltage regu-
lator is a controller that senses the generator output voltage (and sometimes the current)
then initiates corrective action by changing the exciter control in the desired direction.
The speed of this device is of great interest in studying stability. Because of the high
inductance in the generator field winding, it is difficult to make rapid changes in field
current. This introduces considerable "lag" in the control function and is one of the
major obstacles to be overcome in designing a regulating system.
The auxiliary control illustrated in Figure 7.6 may include several added features.
For example, damping is sometimes introduced to prevent overshoot. A comparator
may be used to set a lower limit on excitation, especially at leading power factor opera-
tion, for prevention of instability due to very weak coupling across the air gap. Other
auxiliary controls are sometimes desirable for feedback of speed, frequency, accelera-
tion, or other data [I].

voltage . Two additional features of the system in Figure 7.8 are the damping trans-
former and current compensator. The damping transformer is an electrical "dash pot"
or antihunting device to damp out excessive action of the moving plunger . The current
compensator feature is used to control the division of reactive power among parallel
generators operating under this type of control. The current transformer and compen-
sator resistance introduce a voltage drop in the potential circuit proportional to the line
current. The pha se relationship is such that for lagging current (positive generated
reactive power) the voltage drop across the compensating resistance adds to the voltage
from the potential transform er . Thi s causes the regulator to lower the excitation voltage
for an increase in lagging current (increa se in reactive power output) and provides a
drooping characteristic to assure that the load reacti ve power is equall y divided among
the parallel machine s.
The next level of complication in excitation systems is the main exciter and pilot

exciter system shown in Figure 7.9. This system has a much faster response than the
self-excited main exciter, since the exciter field control is independent of the exciter
output voltage. Control is achieved in much the same way as for the self-excited case.
Because the rheostat positioner is electromechanical, the response may be slow com-
pared to more modern systems, although it is faster than the self-excited arrangement.
The two systems just described are examples of older systems and represent direct,
straightforward means of effecting excitation control. In terms of present technology
in control systems they are primitive and offer little promise for really fast system re-
sponse because of inherent friction, backlash , and lack of sensitivity.
The first step iii sophistication of the primit ive systems was to include in the feed-
back path an amplifier that would be fast acting and could magnify the voltage error
and induce faster excitation changes. Graduall y, as generators have become larger and
interconnected system operation more common, the excitation control systems have be-
come more and more complex . The following sections group these modern systems ac-
cording to the type of exciter [3).

involved.
Another example of an alternator-rectifier system is shown in Figure 7.13 . This sys-
tem is unique in that it is brush less; i.e., there is no need for slip rings since the alterna-
tor-exciter and diode rectifiers are rotating with the shaft. The system incorporates a
pilot permanent magnet generator (labeled PMG in Figure 7.13) with a permanent mag-
net field to supply the (stationary) field for the (rotating) alternator-exciter. Thus all
coupling between stationary and rotating components is electromagnetic. Note, how-
ever, that it is im possible to meter any of the generator field quantities directly since
these components are all moving with the rotor and no slip rings are used .

adjust the SCR firing angle to change the excitation level, and this involves essentially
no time delay. This requires a somewhat larger alternator-exciter than would otherwise
be necessary since it must have a rating capable of continuous operation at ceiling
voltage . In slower systems, ceiling voltage is reached after a delay, and sustained opera-
tion at that level is unlikely .

This scheme is depicted in Figure 7.16 [3J . Again the basic self-excited main generator
scheme is evident. Here, however , the voltage regulator controls a second rectifier sys-
tem (called the " Trinistat power amplifier" in Figure 7.16) to achieve the desired ex-
citation control. Note that the system is entirely static and can be inherently very fast,
the only time constants being those of the reactor and the regulator.

Fig. 7.22 Exciter ceiling voltage as a function of response ratio for a high initial response excitation sys-
tem. IEEE. Repr inted from IEEE Trans.. vol. PAS-88. Aug. 1969.)
The time D.l = 0 .5 was chosen because this is about the time interval of older "quick-
response" regulators between the recognition of a step change in the output voltage
and the shorting of field rheostat elements. Buildup rather than build-down is used be-
cause there is usually more interest in the response to a drop in terminal voltage, such
as a fault condition. In dynamic operation where the interest is in small, fast changes,
build-down may be equally important.
Equation (7 .5) is an adequate definition if the voltage response is rather slow, such
as the one shown in Figure 7.21. It has been recognized for some time, however, that
modern fast systems may reach ceiling in 0.1 s or less, and extending the triangle aed
out to 0.5 s is almost meaningless. This is discussed in reference [3), and a new defini-
tion is introduced (Def', 1.05) that replaces the 0.5-s interval Oe in Figure 7.21 by an
interval Oe = 0.1 s for "systems having an excitat ion voltage response time of 0.1 s or
less" [the voltage response time (Def. 3.16) is the time required to reach 95% of ceiling).
A comparison of three systems, each attaining 95~~ ceiling voltage in 0.1 s, is given in
Figure 7.22 (3) and shows how close the O.I- s response is to the ideal system, a step
function .
age level faster than a similar exciter with a lower ceiling voltage simply because it
saturates at a higher value. This is an important consideration in comparing types
and ratings of both conventional and solid state exciters as shown in Table 7.2.
In adopting a pu system for the exciter, there is no obvious choice as to what base
voltage to use. Some possibilities are (also see [2]): (A) exciter rated voltage, (8) rated
load field voltage, (C) rated air-gap voltage (the voltage necessary to produce rated
voltage on the air gap line of the main machine in the case of a dc generator exciter),
and (D) no-load field voltage. The IEEE [3] recommends the use of system B, the rated
load field voltage. Consider, as an example, an exciter rated at 250 V. For this rating
some typical values of other defined voltages are given in Figure 7.23. The pu system A

of Figure 7.23 has little merit and is seldom used. System 8 is often used. System C
is often convenient since, with rated air gap voltage as a base, pu exciter voltage, pu field
current, and pu synchronous internal voltage are all equal under steady-state conditions
with no saturation. System D is not illustrated in Figure 7.23 and is seldom used.
Time , s
curve shown in Figure 7.24 . Here the curve is the response to a step change in one of
the system variables, such as the terminal voltage. This response, based on that of a
second-order system, is a reasonable one on which to base time domain specifications
since many systems tend to exhibit two "least-damped" poles that give a response of
this general shape at so me value of gain [20,21) . Three quantities describe this re-
sponse: the overshoot, the rise time, and the settling time .
The overshoot is the amount that the respon se exceeds the steady-state response-
in Figure 7.24, at pu.
The rise time is the time for the response to rise from 10 to 90% of the stead y-state
response.
The settling time is the time required for the response to a step function to stay
with in a certain percentage of its final value. Sometimes it is given as the time re-
qu ired to arrive at the final va lue after first o vershooting this va lue . The first defin ition
is preferred .
The damping ratio is that value for a second-order system defined by in the ex- r
pression
(7.7)
and is related to the values a, and a2 of two successi ve overshoots [231 . The natu-
ral resonant frequency W n is also of interest and may be given as a specification .
In the case of the second-order system (7.7), the response to a step change of a driv-
ing variable is
c(t ) = 1 - e-r"n1Icosw,t + [r/(l - r2) sin w, t l (7.8)
where
(7 .9)
r
When = 0 , the system is oscillatory; when r
= 0 .7, it has very little overshoot (about
5%) . Critical damping is said to occur when = 1.0. r
In dealing with an exciter being forced to ceiling due to a step change in the voltage
r
regulator control, the system is often "overdarnped"; i.e. , > I. In this case the voltage
rise is more "sluggish," as shown in Figure 7.25. Here the overshoot is zero, the settling
time is T, (i .e., the time for the response to settle within k of its final value), a nd the
rise time is T R Reference [19) suggests testing an excitation system to determine the
response, such as in Figure 7.25. Then determine the area under this curve for 0.5 sand
use this as a specification of respon se in the time domain . For newer, fast systems
reference [3) suggests simulation of the excitation as preferable to actual testing since
on some systems certain parameters are unavailable for measurement [8,9) .

short out a rheostat section, the response is quite fast. In some cases, high-speed relays
are used to permit faster excitation changes. These devices were considered quite suc-
cessful, and nearly all large units installed between about 1930 and 1945 had this type
of control. Many are still in service.
Another type of indirect-acting regulator that has seen considerable use employs a
polyphase torque motor as a voltage-sensitive element [27]. In such a device the output
torque is proportional to the average three-phase voltage. This torque is balanced
against a spring in torsion so that each value of voltage corresponds to a different
angular position of the rotor. A contact assembly attached to the rotor responds by
closing contacts in the rheostat as the shaft position changes. A special set of contacts
closes very fast with rapid rotor accelerations that permit faster than normal response
due to sudden system voltage changes. The response of this type of regulator is fairly
fast, and much larger field currents can be controlled than with the direct-acting regu-
lator. This is due to the additional current "gain" introduced by the pilot exciter-
main exciter scheme. The contact type of control, however, has inherent deadband
and this, coupled with mechanical backlash, constitutes a serious handicap.

field circuit can be controlled either manually by energizing a relay whose contacts
bypass the rotating amplifier or automatically, with the amplifier providing a feedback
of the error voltage to increase or decrease the field current.
The control characteristic may be better understood by examining Figure 7.26. The
field rheostat is set to intersect the saturation curve at a point corresponding to rated
terminal voltage, i.e., the exciter voltage required to hold the generated voltage at rated
value with full load. Under this condition the rotating amplifier voltage is zero.
Now suppose the generator load is reduced and the generator terminal voltage be-
gins to rise. The voltage sensing circuit (described later) detects this rise and causes
the rotating amplifier to reduce the field current in the exciter field . This reduces the
exciter voltage, which in turn reduces iF' the generator field current. Thus the shaded
area a bo ve the set point in Figure 7.26 is called the buck voltage region . A similar
reasoning defines the area below the set point to be the boost voltage region .
Rotating amplifier systems have a moderate response ratio, often quoted as about
0 .5 (e .g. , see Appendix D) . The speed of response is due largely to the main exciter time
constant, which is much greater than the amplidyne time constant. The ceiling voltage
is an important factor too, exciters with higher ceilings having much faster response
than exciters of similar design but with lower ceiling voltage (see [17] for a discussion of
this topic) . The voltage rating of the rotating amplifier in systems of this type is often
comparable to the main exciter voltage rating, and the voltage swings of the amplifier
change rapidly in attempting to regulate the system [24].
a
ec
Saturable
core
Load
Basically, the magnetic amplifier is similar to that shown in Figure 7.27 [33]. The
current flowing through the load is basically limited by the very large inductance in the
saturable core main windings . As the core becomes saturated, however , the current
jumps to a large value limited only by the load resi st ance . By applying a small (low-
power) signal to the control winding, we control the firing point on each voltage (or
current) cycle, and hence the average load current. This feature , of controlling a large
o utp ut current by means of a small control current, is the essence of any amplifier .
The fact that this amplifier is ver y nonlinear is of little concern .
One type of regulator that use s a magnetic amplifier is shown in block diagram
form in Figure 7.10 [4). Here the magnetic amplifier is used to amplify a voltage error
signal to a power level satisfactory for supplying the field of a rotating amplifier. The
rotating amplifier is located in series with the exciter field in the usual boost-buck con-
nection. One important feature of this system is that the magnetic amplifier is relatively
insensitive to variation s in line voltage and frequency, making this type of regulato r
favorable to remote (especially hydro) locations.
Another application of magnetic amplifiers in voltage regulating systems, shown in
Figure 7.11 [6). has several features to distinguish it from the previous example. First,
the magnetic amplifiers and reference are usually supplied from a 420-Hz system sup-
plied by a permanent-magnet motor-generator set for maximum security and reliability.
The power amplifier supplies the main exciter directly in this system . Note, however,
that the exciter must have two field windings for boo st or buck corrections since mag-
netic amplifiers are not reversible in polarity . The main exciter also has a self-excited,
rheostat-controlled field and can continue to operate with the magnetic amplifiers out of
service.
The magnetic amplifier in the system of Figure 7.11 consists of a two-stage push-
pull input amplifier that, with l-mW input signals, can respond to maximum output in
three cycles of the 420-Hz supply . The second stage is driven to maximum output
when the input stage is at half-maximum . and its transient response is also about
three cycles . The figures of merit [34) are about 200/cycle for the input stage and
SOO/cycle for the output stage. This compares with about Soo/s for a conventional
pilot exciter. The power ampl ifier has a figure of merit of ISOO/cycle with an overall
delay of less than 0 .0 I s. (The figure of merit of an amplifier has been defined as the
ratio of the power amplification to the time constant. It is shown in [34) that for static
magnetic ampl ifier s it is equal to one-half the ratio of power output to stored magnetic
energy .)
Reference [6] reviews the operating experience of a magnetic amplifier regulator in-
stallation on one SO-MW m achine in a plant consisting of seven units totaling over
300 MW, only two units of which are regulated . The experience indicates that. since
254 Chapter 7
the magnetic amplifier regulator is so much faster than the primitive rheostatic regula-
tor, it causes the machine on which it is installed to absorb much of the swing in load,
particularly reactive load. In fact, close observation of operating oscillograms, when
operating with an arc furnace load, reveals that both exciter voltage and line currents
undergo rapid fluctuations when regulated but are nearly constant when unregulated.
This is to be expected since the regulation of machine terminal voltage to a nearly
constant level makes this machine appear to have a lower reactance, hence it absorbs
changes faster than its neighbors. In the case under study, the machine terminal volt-
age was regulated to 0.25~{)' whereas a 1% variation was observed with the regulator
disconnected [6].
7.5.5 Solid-state regulators
Some of the amplification and comparison functions in modern regulators consist
of solid-state active circuits [3). Various configurations are used depending on the
manufacturer, but all have generally fast operation with no appreciable time delay com-
pared to other system time constants. The future will undoubtedly bring more applica-
tions of solid-state technology in these systems because of the inherent reliability, ease
of maintenance, and low initial cost of these devices.

where AE = flux linkages of the main exciter field, Wb turns
R = main exciter field resistance, n
i = current, A
up = pilot exciter voltage, V
Excitation Systems 255
It is helpful to think in terms of the field flux ifJ E rather than the field flux linkages. If
we assume the field flux links N turns, we have
NE + Ri = up (7.11)
The voltage of the pilot exciter up may be treated as a constant [16] . Thus we have an
equation in terms of i and ifJ E with all other terms constant. The problem is that ide-
pends on the exact location of the operating point on the saturation curve and is not
linearly related to uF Furthermore, the flux ifJE has two components, leakage flux and
armature flux, with relative magnitudes also depending on saturation . Therefore, (7.11)
is nonlinear.
Since magnetization curves are plotted in terms of uF versus i, we replace ifJ E in
(7.11) by a term involving the voltage ordinate UF o Assuming the main exciter to be run-
ning at constant speed, its voltage UF is proportional to the air gap flux ifJa ; i.e.,
(7.12)
The problem is to determine how ifJa compares with ifJE ' The field flux has two com-
ponents, as shown in Figure 7.29. The leakage component, comprising 10-20% of the
total, traverses a high-reluctance path through the air space between poles. It does not
link all N turns of the pole on the average and is usually treated either as proportional
to ifJa or proportional to i. Let us assume that ifJ-f. is proportional to ifJa (see [16] for a
more detailed discussion), then

where C is a constant. Also, since
(7.14)
we have
Following the same logic regarding the fluxes as before, we may write the nonlinear
equation
(7 .18)
for the self-excited case where TE is the same as in (7 .16).
In a similar way we establish the equation for the self-excited exciter with boost-
buck rotating amplification as shown in Figure 7 .31. Writing the voltage equation with
the usual assumptions,
(7.19)
Kimbark [16] suggests four methods of solution for (7.16)-(7.19). These are
(I) formal integration, (2) graphical integration (area summation), (3) step-by-step inte-
gration (manual), and (4) analog or digital computer solution . Formal integration re-
quires that the relationship between uF and i, usually expressed graphically by means of
the magnetization curve, be known explicitly . An empirical relation, the Frohlich equa-
tion (35)
VF = ailtb + i) (7.20)
may be used, or the so-called modified Frohlich equation
UF = ui/(b + i) + ci (7.21)
can be tried. In either case the constants a, b, and c must be found by cut-and-try
techniques. If this is reasonably successful, the equations can be integrated by separa-
tion of variables.
Method 2, graphical integration, makes use of the saturation curve to integrate the
equations. This method, although somewhat cumbersome, is quite instructive. It is
unlikely, however, that anyone except the most intensely interested engineer would
choose to work many of these problems because of the labor involved. (See Kim-
bark [16], Rudenberg (20), and Dahl (35) for a discussion of this method.)
Method 3, the step-by-step method (called the point-by-point method by some
authors [16,35]), is a manual method similar to the familiar solution of the swing equa-
tion by a stepwise procedure [36]. In this method, the time derivatives are assumed
constant over a small interval of time, with the value during the interval being de-
pendent on the value at the middle of the interval.
Method 4 is probably the method of greatest interest because digital and analog
computers are readily available, easy to use, and accurate. The actual methods of com-
putation are many but, in general, nonlinear functions can be handled with relative
ease and with considerable speed compared to methods 2 and 3.
In this chapter the buildup of a dc generator will be computed by the formal inte-
gration method only. However, an analog computer solution and a digital computer
technique are outlined in Appendix B.
To use formal integration, a nonlinear equation is necessary to represent the satura-
tion curve. For convenience we shall use the Frohlich equation (7.20), which may be
solved for i to write
i = buF/(a - uF ) (7.22)
We illustrate the application of (7.22) by an example.
Example 7.2
A typical saturation curve for a separately excited generator is given in Figure 7.32.
Approximate this curve by the Frohlich equation (7.22).
Solution
By examination of Figure 7.32 we make the several voltage and current observa-
tions given in Table 7.3.
Since there are two unknowns in the Frohlich equation, we select two known points
on the saturation curve, substitute into (7.20) or (7.22), and solve for a and b. One ex-
perienced in the selection process may be quite successful in obtaining a good match.
To illustrate this, we will select two pairs of points and obtain two different solutions.

This gives us the modified formula
UF = 359;/(; - 21.95) + 48; (7.25)
Equation (7.25) is not plotted on Figure 7.32 but is a better fit than either of the other

This equation may be solved by separation of variables. Rearranging algebraically,
we write
dt = [TE(a - vF)/(av p - hv F)] dVF (7.27)
where we have defined for convenience, h = up + bR. Integrating (7.27),
(t - to)1T E = (I 1h)( V F - UFO) - (a bR 1h2) In [(a vp - hUF)1(aUp - hUFO)] (7.28)
This equation cannot be solved explicitly for UF, so we leave it in this form.
Example 7.4
Using the result of formal integration for the separately excited case (7.28), compute
the V F versus t relationship for values of t from to I s and find the voltage response
ratio by graphical integration of the area under the curve. Assume that the following
constants apply and that the saturation curve is the one found in Example 7.2, solu-
tion 2.
N = 2500 turns Up = 125 V R = 34 n
(J = 1.2 k = 12,000 UFO = 90 V

Solution
First we compute the various constants involved. From (7.16)
TE = No l k = (2500)(1.2)/12,000 = 0.25 s

From Figure 7.33, by graphical construction we find the triangle acd, which has the
same area as that under the UF curve abd. Then from (7.5) with cd = 27.9 V, as shown
in the figure, the response ratio = 27.9,/90(0.5) = 0.62.

Example 7.5
Compute the self-excited buildup for the same exciter studied in Example 7.4.
Change the final resistance (field resistance) so that the self-excited machine will achieve
the same ceiling voltage as the separately excited machine. Compare the two buildup
curves by plotting the results on the same graph and by comparing the computed re-
sponse ratios.
Solution
The ceiling voltage is to be 110.3 V, at which point the current in the field is 3.68 A
(from the Frohlich equations). Then the resistance must be R = 110.3/3.68 = 30 n.
Solving (7.31) with this value of R and using Frohlich parameters from Example 7.4,
we have the results in Table 7.5 and the solution curve of Figure 7.34. The response
ratio = 15.4/90(0.5) = 0.342 for the self-excited case.

Example 7.6
Compute the boost-buck buildup for the exciter of Example 7.4 where the ampli-
fier voltage is assumed to be a step function at t = to with a magnitude of 50 V. Com-
pare with previous results by adjusting the resistance until the ceiling voltage is again
110.3 V. Repeat for an amplifier voltage of 100V.
Solution
With a ceiling voltage of 110.3 V and an amplifier voltage of 50 V, we compute with
vF =0, Ri'X) = V F + V R = 160.3. This equation applies as long as vR maintains its
value of 50 V. This requires that i ; again be equal to 3.68 A so that R may be computed
as R = 160.3/3.68 = 43.6 n. This value of R will insure that the ceiling voltage will
again be 110.3 V. Using this R in (7.34) results in the tabulated values given in Table
7.6. Repeating with V R = 100 V gives a second set of data, also tabulated, in which
R = 57.20.
These results are plotted in Figure 7.35. Note that increasing the amplifier voltage
has the effect of increasing the response ratio. In this case changing V R from 50 to 100 V
gives a result that closely resembles the separately excited case. In each case the re-
sponse ratio (RR) may be calculated as follows:
RR (v R 50) = 2cd/Oa = 2(24.15)/90 = 0.537
RR (v R = 100) = 2c'd/Oa = 2(29)/90 = 0.645

compared with the solution of (7.26) given in Appendix B, shown in Figure B .9.
Adjusting potentiometers k, and k 2 quickly provides the "best fit" solution shown
in Figure 7.38, which is a graph made directly by the computer. Having adjusted k, and
k 2 for the best fit, the potentiometer settings are read and the factors m and n computed .
In a similar way linear approximations can be found for the self-excited and boost-buck
connections .

essentially a small series iFR drop . In rotating dc machines the effect is greater, since
in addition to the iFR drop there is also the brush drop , the drop due to armature reac-
tion, and the drop due to armature inductance. (Dahl [35) provides an exhaustive treat-
ment of this subject and Kim bark [16) also has an excellent analysis.)
We can analyze the effect of load current in a dc machine as follows. First, we
recognize that the armature inductance is small, and at the relatively slow rate of
buildup to be experienced this voltage drop is negligible. Furthermore, if the machine
has interpoles, we may neglect demagnetizing armature reaction . However, we do have
to estimate the effect of cross-magnetizing armature reaction, which causes a net de-
crease in the air gap flux. Thus, the net effect of load is in the resistance drop (including
brush drop) and in the decrease in flux due to cross-magnetizing armature reaction.
To facilitate analysis, we assume the load current iF has a constant value. This
means the iFR drop is constant, and the armature reaction effect depends on the value
of current in the field, designated i in our notation. The combined effect is determined
most easily by test, a typical result of which is shown in Figure 7.39. To the load

saturation curve is added the resistance drop to obtain a fictitious curve designated
"distortion curve." This curve shows the voltage generated by air gap flux at this value
of iF as a function of i, and it differs from the no-load saturation curve by an amount
due to armature reaction . The magnitude of this difference is greatest near the knee of
the curve .
Kimbark (16) treats this subject thoroughly and is recommended to the interested
reader . We will ignore the loading effect in our analysis in the interest of finding a
reasonable solution that is a fair representation of the physical device. As in all en-
gineering problems, certain complications must be ignored if the solution is to be
manageable.
The slip ring voltage corresponding to 1.0 pu EFD is not the same base voltage as
that chosen for the field circuit in normalizing the synchronous machine. From (4.55)
we have
V FB = VBIB/I FB = SB/IFB V
This base voltage is usually a very large number (163 kV in Example 4.1, for example).
The base voltage for EFD , on the other hand, would be on the order of 100 V or so.
Simply stated, the exciter base voltage and the synchronous machine base for the field
voltage differ, and a change of base between the two quantities is required. The re-
quired relationship is given by (4.59), which can be written as

This condition is shown in F igure 7.41 where the choice of curve depends on the mag-
nitude of x be ing gre ater than the dead zone Kx ' Note that any change in x from the
equ ilibrium position is a measure of the error in the te rm inal vo ltage magnitude. This
control action is design ated the " raise-lo wer mode" of operation. It results in a slow
excitation change, responding to a change in V, large enough to exceed the threshold

of this control action is shown in Figure 7.42 .

changing the selling of R H As the rheostat is reset, the position x returns to the thres-
hold region I x I < K, and the motor stops, leaving R H at the value finally reached .
At any instant the total resistance R is given by
R QR + Ro - KMt (raise)
R QR + Ro + KMt (lower) (7045)
Thus the exact R depends on the integration time and on the direction of rotation of the
rheostat motor. In (7 .45) and Figure 7AI, Ro is the value of RH retained following the
last integration . This value is constrained by the physical size of the rheostat so that
for any time t, R min < (R o KMt) < R max
The foregoing d iscussion pertains to the raise-lower mode only. Referring again to
Figure 7040, a second possible mode of operation is recognized . If the x deflection is
large enough to make the QL or QR contacts, the fixed field resistors R QL or R QR are
switched into or out of the field respectively, initiating a quick response in the exciter.
This control scheme is shown in Figure 7043 as an added quick control mode to the
original controller. The quick raise-lower mode is initiated whenever I x I > Kv ' with

The function SE is nonlinear and can be approximated by any convenient nonlinear

to the system error (see Def. 2. J2. J). Most of the excitation control systems in use today
are of this type. Here we shall analyze one system. the familiar boost-buck system,
since it is typical of this kind of excitation system .
Consider the system shown in Figure 7. J0 where the feedback signal is applied to
the rotating ampl ifier in the exciter field circuit. Reduced to its fundamental compo-
nents, this is shown in Figure 7.46. We analyze each block separately .
Potential transformer and rectifier. One possible connection for this block is that
shown in Figure 7.47. where the potential transformer secondaries are connected to
bridged rectifiers connected in series. Thus the output voltage Vdc is proportional to
the sum or average of the rms values of the three phase voltages. If we let the average
rms voltage be represented by the symbol v,. we may write
(7 .51)
where K R is a proportionality constant and TR is the time constant due to the filtering
or first-order smoothing in the transformer-rectifier assembly . The actual delay in this
system is small, and we may assume that 0 < TR < 0 .06 s.
Voltage regulator and reference (comparator). The second block compares the volt-
age J'dc against a fixed reference and supplies an output voltage v..
called the er-
ror voltage, which is proportional to the difference; i.e.
v. = k( VREF - J'dc) (7 .52)
This can be accomplished in several ways. One way is to provide an electronic differ-
ence amplifier as shown in Figure 7.48. where the time constant of the electronic ampli-
fier is usually negligible compared to other time delays in the system. There is often
an objection, however, to using active circuits containing vacuum tubes, transistors, and
the associated electronic power supplies because of reliability and the need for replace-
a .....- - - - r---------hn
ment of aging components. This difficulty could be overcome by having a spare ampli-
fier with automatic switching upon the detection of faulty operation .
Another solution to the problem is to make the error comparison by an entirely
passive network such as the nonlinear bridge circuit in Figure 7.49. Here the input
current id< sees parallel paths t, and i 6 or id< = t, + i 6 But since the output is con-
nected to an amplifier, we assume that the voltage gain is large and that the input cur-
rent is negligible, or i, = O. Under this condition the currents i. and i6 are equal.
Then the output voltage V. is
(7 .53)
The operation of the bridge is better understood by examination of Figure 7.50
where the v-i characteristics of each resistance are given and the characteristic for the
total resistance R L + R N seen by i, and i6 is also given. Since i. = i6 , the sum of volt-
age drops VL and vN is always equal to ~<, the applied voltage. If we choose the non-
linear elements carefully, the operation in the neighborhood of VREF is essentially lin-
ear; i.e., a deviation VA above or below VREF results in a change i A in the total current,
which is also displaced equally above and below i REF Note that the nonlinear resistance
shown is quite linear in this critical region. Thus we may write for a voltage devia-
tion VA'
(7.54)
where k L > k N Combining (7 .54) and (7.53), we compute
V. = -(k L - kN)V A = -k VA (7 .55)
But for a deviation VA' Vd< VREF + VA' which may be incorporated into (7.55) to write
(7.56)
We note that (7 .56) has the same block diagram representation as the difference ampli-
fier shown in Figure 7.48(b), where we set T = 0 for the passive circuit.

A natural question to ask at this point is, What circuit element constitutes the volt-
age reference? Note that no external reference voltage is applied . A closer study of
Figure 7.50 will reveal that the linear resistance R L is a convenient reference and that
two identical gang-operated potentiometers in the bridge circuit would provide a con-
venient means of setting the reference voltage.
The nonlinear bridge circuit has the obvious advantage of being simple and entirely
passive. If nonlinear resistances of appropriate curvature are readily available, this
circuit makes an inexpensive comparator that should have long life without component
aging.
The amplifier. The amplifier portion of the excitation system may be a rotating
amplifier, a magnetic ampl ifier, or conceivably an electronic amplifier. In an y case we
will assume linear voltage amplification K A with time constant T A , or
VR = K A v./( I + T AS) (7.57)
As with any amplifier a saturation value must be specified, such as VRmin < VR < VRmu '
These conditions are both shown in the block diagram of Figure 7.51.
The exciter. The exciter output voltage is a function of the regulator voltage as
derived in (7.50) and with block diagram representation as shown in Figure 7.45 . The
major difference between that case and this is in the definition of the constant K E Since
the exciter is a boost-buck system, we can write the normal ized equ at ion
E FD = (VR - EFDSE)/(K E + TES) (7.58)
where
K E = RG - 1 (7 .59)

interesting to note that Gabriel K ron recognized the need for this kind of compensa-
tion as early as 1954 when he patented an excitation system incorporating these fea-
tures (37).) This can be accomplished by adding the rate feedback loop shown in
Figure 7.54, where time constant T F and gain K F are introduced. Such a compensation
scheme can be adapted to bend the root locus near the jw axis crossing to improve
stability substantially. Also notice that provision is made for the introduction of other
compensating signals if they should be necessary or desirable. The effect of compensa-
tion will be demonstrated by an example.

axis near the origin, and the system dynamic performance will be dominated by this
root. Its dynamic response will be sluggish . Cases II and III are shown in Figures
7.56(b) and (c) . In both cases, the root-locus plots of (7 .62) have branches that. with
the proper choice of the ratio K, give a pair of complex roots near the imaginary axis.
Again, these are the zeros for the system described by (7.61). However, in Case II the
loci approach the asymptotes to the left of the imaginary axis, while for Case 111 the
loci approach the asymptotes to the right of the origin . The position of the roots of
(7.62) and hence the zeros of (7.61), are more likely to be located further to the left of
the imaginary axis in Case II than in Case III.
A further examination of the possible loci of zeros in Figure 7.56 reveals that for
the three zeros, two may appear as a complex pair. Thus there are two situations of
interest: (A) all zeros real and (B) one real zero and a complex pair of zeros. Further-
more, both conditions can appear in all cases. Figure 7.57 provides a pictorial summary
of all six possibilities . In all but two cases the system response is dominated by a root
very near the origin . Only in Cases liB and IIIB is there any hope of pulling this domi-
nant root away from the origin ; and of these two, Case liB is clearly the better choice.
Thus we will concentrate on Case liB for further study . (Also see [38] for a further
study of this subject.)

Type I excitation system.
Solution 2
The above system is studied for different values of TF and K F with the aid of special
digital computer programs. The programs used are a root-finding subroutine for poly-
nomials to obtain the zeros of equation (7.63), a root-locus program , and a time-
response program. Two sample runs to illustrate the effect of TF and KF are shown in
Figure 7.58.
In Figure 7.58(a) T F is held constant at 0 .6 while KF is varied between 0.01 and
0.03 . Plots of the loc i of the roots are shown for the three cases , along with the time-
response for the "rated" value of K A The most obvious effect of reducing K F is to
reduce the settling time.
In Figure 7.58(b), KF is held constant at 0.02 while TF is varied between 0.5 and 0.7.
The root-locus plots and the time-response for the system are repeated. The effect of
increasing TF is to reduce the overshoot.

Fig.7.58(b) Effect of variation ofT F on dynamic response: K F ; 0.02, TF; 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 respectively.
Type I excitation system .
From Figures 7.S8(a) and 7.S8(b) we can see that the values of TF and KF signifi-
cantly influence the dynamic performance of the system. There is, however, a variety of
choices of K F and T F, which gives a reasonably good dynamic response. For this par-
ticular system, T F = 0.6 and KF = 0.02 seem to give the best results.
Solution 3
An engineer with experience in s plane design may be able to guess a workable
location for the zero and estimate the value of K F that will give satisfactory results.
For most engineers, the analog computer can be a great help in speeding up the design
procedure, and we shall consider this technique as an alternate design procedure.
From Figure 7.54 we write, with V; = 0,

or
(7.64)
For the amplifier block of Figure 7.54 we have VR = K A V./(I + TAS) , which may be
rearranged as
(7.65)
Equation (7.64) may be represented on the analog computer by a summer and (7.65) by
an integrator with feedback. All other blocks except the derivative feedback term are
similar to (7.65) . For the derivat ive feedback we have ~ = sKFEFD/( I + TFS) , which
can be rewritten as
(7.66)
Using (7.64) --(7.66), we may construct the analog computer diagram shown in Fig-
ure 7.59. Then we may systematically move the zero from S = 0 to the left and check
the response . In each case both the forward loop gain and feedback gains may be
optimized.
Table 7.7 shows the results of several typical runs of this kind . In all cases K R has
been adjusted to unity, and other gains have been chosen to optimize V, in a qualita-
tive sense. The constants in these studies may be used to compute the cubic coefficients
(7.62), and the equation may then be factored . If the roots are known, a root locus

may be plotted and a comparison made between this and the previous uncompensated
solution .
The actual analog computer outputs for run 2 are shown in Figure 7.60 . One-
second timing pulses are shown on the chart. Th e plot is made so that 20 such pul ses
correspond to I s of real time. This system is tuned to optimize the output v" which
responds with little overshoot and displays good damping. Note, however , that this re-
qu ires exce ssive overshoot of E FD and VR , which in physical systems would both be
limited by sa turatio n. Inclusion of saturation is a practical necessity, even in linear
simulation .
Examples 7.7 and 7.8 are intended to give us some feeling for the derivative feed-
back of Figure 7.54. A study of the eigenvalues of a synchronous mach ine indicates
that a first-order approximation to the generator voltage response is only approx imately
true. Nevertheless, mak ing this simplification helps us to concentrate on the character-
istics of the excitation system without becoming confused by the added complex ity of
th e generator. Visualizing the root locus of the control is helpful and shows clearly
how th e compensated system can be operated at much greater gain while still hold ing a
suitable damping ratio. These studies also suggest how further improvements could be
rea lized by add ing ser ies compensation, but th is is left as an exercise for the interested
reader .

Example 7.10
Repeat Example 7.9 for different exciters. Use the same machine loading. Tabu-
late the data used and the eigenvalues obtained.
Solution
For this example we will use the same machine loading of Example 5.1 and three
exciters made by the same manufacturer: W TRA, W Brushless, and W Low TE Brush-
less. Data for the exciters and the appropriate M and K constants are given in Ta-
ble 7.8. The eigenvalues obtained are tabulated in Table 7.9.
The results tabulated in Table 7.9 are for the same machine and loading condition
as used in Example 6.4 except for the addition of the exciter models. Comparing the
results of Examples 6.4 and 7.10, we note that two pairs of complex eigenvalues and
two real eigenvalues are essentially present in all the results. We can conclude that
these eigenvalues are identified with the parameters of the machine and are not de-
pendent on the exciter parameters. The additional eigenvalues obtained in Exam-
ple 7.10 and not previously present are comparable in magnitude except for one com-
plex pair associated with the W Low TE Brushless exciter. For this exciter a frequency
of approximately 50 Hz is obtained, which might be introduced by the extremely low
exciter time constant.
The same example was repeated for the loading of Example 5.2 and for the same
exciters. The results obtained indicate that only one pair of complex eigenvalues change
with the machine loading. This pair is one of the two complex pairs associated with the
machine parameters. The eigenvalues associated with the exciter parameters did not
change significantly with the machine loading.
The excitation system models described use a pu system wherein 1.0 pu generator
voltage is the rated generator voltage and 1.0 pu exciter voltage is that voltage re-
quired to produce rated generator voltage on the generator air gap line (see Def. 3.20
in Appendix E). This means that at no load and neglecting saturation, EFD = 1.0 pu
gives exactly ~ = 1.0 pu. Table 7.10 gives a list of symbols used in the four IEEE
models, changed slightly to conform to the notation used throughout this chapter.

and this voltage is small, but finite in the steady state. The exciter itself is represented
as a first-order linear system with time constant TE' However, a provision is made to
include the effect of saturation in the exciter by the saturation function SE' The satura-
tion function is defined as shown in Figure 7.62 by the relation
Sf = (A - B)/ B (7 .84)
and is thus a function of Em that is nonlinear. This alters the amplifier voltage VR
by an amount SEEm to give a new effective value of VR viz.,
(7 .85)
This altered value VR is operated upon linearly by the exciter transfer function. Note
that for sufficiently small E FD the system is nearly linear (SE = 0). Note also that the
exciter transfer function contains a constant K E This transfer function
(7.86)
is not in the usual form for a linear transfer function for a first-order system (usually
stated as 1/(1 + TS). From the block diagram we write E FO = VR/(K E + TES), and
substituting (7.85) for VR we have
(7.87)
which includes the nonlinear function SEE FD Equation (7.87) corresponds in the time
domain to
T iJF = vF + vR - bRvF!(a - v F )
with the nonlinearity approximated by a Frohlich equation, we can observe the obvious
similarity. Reference [15] suggests taking
Excitation Systems 295
(7.89)
which corresponds to the resistance in the exciter field circuit at t = O.
Some engineers approximate the saturation function by an exponential function,
i.e.,
(7.90)
The coefficients A EX and BEX are computed from saturation data, where SE and EFD
are specified at two points, usuall y the exciter ceiling voltage and 75% of ceiling. The
function (7.90) is easy to compute and provides a simple way to represent exciter satura-
tion with reasonable accuracy. See Appendix D.
Finally we examine the feedback transfer function of Figure 7.61
(7.91)
where K F and T F are respectively the gain constant and the time constant of the regu-
lator stabilizing circuit. This time constant introduces a zero on the negative real axis.
Note that (7.91) introduces both a derivative feedback and a first-order lag.
Reference [I S] points out that the regulator ceiling VRmax and the exciter ceiling
EFDmax are interrelated through S E and KE. Under steady-state conditions we compute
VR = KEEFD + SEEFD (7.92)
with the constraint VRmin < VR < VR m ax ' then
(7.93)
Thus there exists a constraint between the maximum (or minimum) values of E FDmax and
VRmax (EFDm in and VR min ) .

signal to be compared against the reference, e.g., the systems of Figures 7.15 and 7.16.
These systems are not properly represented by Type I or IS and require special treat-
ment , as shown in Figure 7.66. (The reactance XL is the commutating reactance of the
transformer and is discussed in [41].) Here the regulator and input smoothing are
similar to the Type I system. However , the signal denoted VB incorporates information
fed forwa rd from V, with added information concerning both I, and IF. Thus

fore, caution must be used in comparing gains, time constants, and limits for systems of
different manufacture.
As experience has accumulated in excitation system modeling, the manufacturer
and utility engineers have determined excitation system parameters for many existing
units. Since these constants are specified on a normalized basis, they can often be used
with reasonable confidence on other simulations where data is unavailable. Tables
7.12-7.15 give examples of excitation system parameters that can be used for estimating
new systems or for cases where exact data is unavailable.
Since the formation of the National Electric Reliability Council (NERC) a set of de-
sign criteria has been established specifying the conditions under which power systems
must be proven stable. This has caused an enlarged interest and concern in the accuracy
of modeling all system components, particularly the generators, governors, exciters, and
loads. Thus it is becoming common for the manufacturer to specify the exciter model
to be used in system studies and to provide accurate gains and time constants for the
system purchased.

8. 1 Introduction
Considerable attention has been given in the literature to the excitation system and
its role in improving power system stability. Early investigators realized that the so-
called "steady-state" power limits of power networks could be increased by using the
then available high-gain continuous-acting voltage regulators [1]. It was also recognized
that the voltage regulator gain requirement was different at no-load conditions from
that needed for good performance under load. In the early J950s engineers became
aware of the instabilities introduced by the (then) modern voltage regulators, and stabi-
lizing feedback circuits came into common use [2]. In the 1960s large interconnected
systems experienced growing oscillations that disrupted parallel operation of large sys-
tems [3-12]. It was discovered that the inherently weak natural damping of large and
weakly coupled systems was the main cause and that situations of negative damping
were further aggravated by the regulator gain [13]. Engineers learned that the system
damping could be enhanced by artificial signals introduced through the excitation sys-
tem. This scheme has been very successful in combating growing oscillation problems
experienced in the power systems of North America.
The success of excitation control in improving power system dynamic performance
in certain situations has led to greater expectations among power system engineers
as to the capability of such control Because of the small effective time constants in
the excitation system control loop, it was assumed that a large control effort could be
expended through excitation control with a relatively small input of control energy.
While basically sound, this control is limited in its effectiveness. A part of the engi-
neer's job, then, is to determine this limit, i.e., to find the exciter design and control
parameters that can provide good performance at reasonable cost [14].
The subject of excitation control is further complicated by a conflict in control
requirements in the period following the initiation of a transient. In the first few cycles
these requirements may be significantly different from those needed over a few seconds.
Furthermore, it has been shown that the best control effort in the shorter period may
tend to cause instability later. This suggests the separation of the excitation control
studies into two distinct problems, the transient (short-term) problem and the dynamic
(long-term) problem. It should be noted that this terminology is not universally used.
Some authors call the dynamic stability problem by the ambiguous name of "steady-
state stability." Other variations are found in the literature, but usually the two prob-
lems are treated separately as noted.

p = (~Veo/x)sino (8.) )
where ~ is the machine terminal voltage and Veo is the infinite bus voltage. Note
that if ~ is reduced, P is reduced by a corresponding amount. Prevention of this
reduction in P requires very fast action by the excitation system in forcing the field to
ceiling and thereby holding ~ at a reasonable value. Indeed, the most beneficial
attributes the voltage regulator can have for this situation is speed and a high ceiling
voltage, thus improving the chances of holding V, at the needed level, Also, when
the fault is removed and the reactance x of (8.1) is increased due to switching, another
fast change in excitation is required. These violent changes affect the machine's ability
to release the power it is receiving from the turbine. These changes are effectively
controlled by very fast excitation changes.
The dynamic stability problem is different from the transient problem in several
ways, and the requirements on the excitation system- are also different. By dynamic
stability we mean the ability of all machines in the system to adjust to small load
changes or impacts. Consider a multimachine system feeding a constant load (a con-
dition never met in practice). Let us assume that at a given instant the load is
changed by a small amount, say by the energizing of a very large motor somewhere in
the system. Assume further that this change in load is just large enough to be recog-
nized as such by a certain group of machines we will call the control group. The
machines nearest the load electrically will see the largest change, and those farther
away will experience smaller and smaller changes until the change is not perceptible
at all beyond the boundary of the control group.
Now how will this load change manifest itself at the several machines in the control
group? Since it is a load increase, there is an immediate increase in the output power
requirements from each of the machines. Since step changes in power to turbines
are not possible, this increased power requirement will come first from stored energy in
the control group of machines. Thus energy stored in the magnetic field of the machines
is released, then somewhat later, rotating energy [( I /2)mv 2 ) is used to supply the
load requirements until the governors have a chance to adjust the power input to the
various generators. Let us examine the behavior of the machines in the time interval
prior to the governor action. This interval may be on the order of I s. In this
time period the changes in machine voltages, currents, and speeds will be different for
each machine in the control group because of differences in unit size, design, and elec-
trical location with respect to the load. Thus each unit responds by contributing its
share of the load increase, with its share being dictated by the impedance it sees at its
terminals (its Thevenin impedance) and the size of the unit. Each unit has its own
natural frequency of response and will oscillate for a time until damping forces can
decay these oscillations. Thus the one change in load, a step change, sets up all
kinds of oscillatory responses and the system Brings" for a time with many frequencies
present, these induced changes causing their own interaction with neighboring machines
(see Section 3.6).
Effect of Excitation on Stability 311
Now visualize the excitation system in this situation. In the older electromechani-
cal systems there was a substantial deadband in the voltage regulator, and unless the
generator was relatively close to the load change, the excitation of these machines would
remain unchanged. The machines closer to the load change would recognize a need for
increased excitation and this would be accomplished, although somewhat slowly.
Newer excitation systems present a different kind of problem. These systems recognize
the change in load immediately, either as a perceptible change in terminal voltage,
terminal current, or both . Thus each oscillation of the unit causes the excitation sys-
tem to try to correct accordingly, since as the speed voltage changes, the terminal
voltage also changes. Moreover, the oscillating control group machines react with one
another, and each action or reaction is accompanied by an excitation change .
The excitation system has one major handicap to overcome in following these
system oscillations; this is the effective time constant of the main exciter field which
is on the order of a few seconds or so. Thus from the time of recognition of a desired
excitation change until its partial fulfillment, there is an unavoidable delay. During
this delay time the state of the oscillating system will change, causing a new excitation
adjustment to be made . This system lag then is a detriment to stable operation, and
several investigators have shown examples wherein systems are less oscillatory with the
voltage regulators turned off than with them operating [7, 12].
Our approach to this problem must obviously depend upon the type of impact
under consideration . For the large impact, such as a fault, we are concerned with
maximum forcing of the field, and we examine the response in building up from normal
excitation to ceiling excitation . This is a nonlinear problem, as we have seen, and the
shape of the magnetization curve cannot be neglected. The small impact or dynamic
stability problem is different. Here we are concerned with small excursions from nor-
mal operation, and linearization about this normal or "quiescent" point is possible and
desirable . Having done this, we may study the response using the tools of linear sys-
tems analysis; in this way not only can we analyze but possibly compensate the system
for better damping and perhaps faster response .
Example 8.1
Consider the two-machine system of Figure 8.1, where we consider one machine
against an infinite bus. (This problem was introduced and analyzed by Concordia [I].)

This equation applies whether or not there is a voltage regulator. Determine the effect
of excitation on this equation .
Solution
We now establish the boundary conditions for the problem. First we assume that
X, = Xl = 1.0 pu and that JI; = 1.0 pu. Then for any given load the voltages , and
2 must assume a certain value to hold V, at 1.0 pu . If the power factor is unity, 1
and 1 have the same magnitude as shown in the phasor diagram of Figure 8.2 . If
1 and 2 are held constant at these values, the power transferred to the infinite
bus varies sinusoidally according to (8.2) and has a maximum when 0 is 90.
Now assume that . and 1 are both subject to perfect regulator action and that
the key to this action is that JI; is to be held at 1.0 pu and the power factor is to be
held at unity . We write in phasor notation

Substituting (8.3) into (8.2) and simplifying, we have for the perfect regulator, at unity
power factor,
P = tano/2 (8.4)
The result is plotted in Figure 8.3 along with the same result for the case of constant
(unregulated) E 1 and E 2
In deriving (8.4) , we have tacitly assumed that the regulators acting upon E 1 and
E2 do so instantaneously and continuously. The result is interesting for several reasons.
First, we observe that with this ideal regulation there is no stability limit. Second , it is
indicated that operation in the region where 0 > 90 is possible . We should comment
that the assumed physical system is not realizable since there is always a lag in the
excitation response even if the voltage regulator is ideal. Also, excitation contro l of the
infinite bus voltage is not a practical consideration , as this remote bus is probably not
infinite and may not be closely regulated .
Example 8.2
Consider the more practical problem of holding the voltage E2 constant at 1.0 pu
and letting the power factor var y, other things being the same.
Solution
Under this condition we have the phasor diagram of Figure 8.4 where we note
that the locus of 2 is the dashed circular arc of radius 1.0. Note that the power factor
is constrained by the relation

These simple examples show the effect of excitation under certain ideal situations.
Obviously, these ideal conditions will not be realized in practice. However, they provide
limiting values of the effect of excitation on changing the effective system parameters.
A power system is nearly a constant voltage system and is made so because of system
component design and close voltage control. This means that the Thevenin impedance
seen looking into the source is very small. Fast excitation helps keep this impedance
small during disturbances and contributes to system stability by allowing the required
transfer of power even during disturbances. Finally, it should be stated that while the
ability of exciters to accomplish this task is limited, other considerations make it
undesirable to achieve perfect control and zero Thevenin impedance. Among these is
the fault-interrupting capabil ity.
8.3 Effect of the Excitation System on Transient Stability
In the transient stability problem the performance of the power system when sub-
jected to severe impacts is studied. The concern is whether the system is able to main-
tain synchronism during and following these disturbances. The period of interest is
relatively short (at most a few seconds), with the first swing being of primary impor-
tance . In this period the generator is suddenly subjected to an appreciable change in
its output power causing its rotor to accelerate (or decelerate) at a rate large enough
to threaten loss of synchronism. The important factors influencing the outcome are the
machine behavior and the power network dynamic relations. For the sake of this dis-
cussion it is assumed that the power supplied by the prime movers does not change in
the period of interest. Therefore the effect of excitation control on this type of transient
depends upon its ability to help the generator maintain its output power in the period
of interest.
To place the problem in the proper perspective, we should review the main factors
that affect the performance during severe transients. These are:
I. The disturbing influence of the impact. This includes the type of disturbance, its
location, and its duration .
2. The abilit y of the transmission system to maintain strong synchronizing forces during
the transient initiated by a disturbance .
3. The turbine-generator parameters.
The above have traditionally been the main factors affecting the so-called first-swing
transients. The system parameters influencing these factors are:
316 Chapter 8
I. The synchronous machine parameters. Of these the most important are: (a) the
inertia constant, (b) the direct axis transient reactance, (c) the direct axis open cir-
cuit time constant, and (d) the ability of the excitation system to hold the flux
level of the synchronous machine and increase the output power during the transient.
2. The transmission system impedances under normal, faulted, and postfault condi-
tions. Here the flexibility of switching out faulted sections is important so that large
transfer admittances between synchronous machines are maintained when the fault is
isolated.
3. The protective relaying scheme and equipment. The objective is to detect faults
and isolate faulted sections of the transmission network very quickly with minimum
disruption.

of synchronism is the inability of the excitation system of that generator, with response
ratio of 0.5, to offset the effects of armature reaction.

means of improving stability [17]. This has prompted significant technological ad-
vances in excitation systems.
As an aid to transient stability, the desirable excitation system characteristics are
a fast speed of response and a high ceiling voltage. With the help of fast transient
forcing of excitation and the boost of internal machine flux, the electrical output of the
machine may be increased during the first swing compared to the results obtainable
with a slow exciter. This reduces the accelerating power and results in improved
tr ansient performance.
Effect of Excitation on Stability 319
Modern excitation systems can be effective in two ways: in reducing the severity
of machine swings when subjected to large impacts by reducing the magnitude of the
first swing and by ensuring that the subsequent swings are smaller than the first. The
latter is an important con sideration in present-day large interconnected power systems.
Situations may be encountered where various modes of oscillations reinforce each other
during later swings, which along with the inherent weak system damping can cause
transient instability after the first swing. With proper compensation a modern excita-
tion system can be ver y effective in correcting this type of problem. However, except
for transient stability studies involving faults with long clearing times (or stuck
breakers), the effect of the excitation system on the severity of the first swing is rela-
tively small. That is, a very fast, high-response excitation system will usually reduce
the first swing by only a few degrees or will increase the generator transient stability
power limit (for a given fault) by a few percent.
In a study reported by Perry et al. [18] on part of the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company system in northern California, the effect of the excitation system response on
the system frequency deviation is studied when a three-phase fault occurs in the network
(at the Diablo Canyon site on the Midway circuit adjacent to a 500-kV bus) . Some
of the results of that study are shown in Figure 8.9. A one-line diagram of the network
is shown in Figure 8.9(a). The frequency deviations for 4-cycle and 9.6-cycle faults
are shown in Figures 8.9(b) and 8.9(c) respectively. The comparison is made between
a 2.0 response ratio excitation system (curve A), a modern, low time constant excita-
tion with rate feedback (curve B) and without rate feedback (curve C). The results
of this study support the points made above.

320 Chapter 8
With the machine operating at approximately rated load and power factor, a three-
phase fault is applied at the high-voltage side of the step-up transformer for a given
length of time. When the fault is cleared, the transmission system reactance is changed
to the postfault reactance X.a , and the simulation is run until it can be determined if the
run is stable or unstable. This is repeated for different values of X.a until the maxi-
mum value of X.a is found where the system is marginally stable. .
Two different excitation system representa tions were used in the study:
1. A 0.5 pu response alternator-fed diode system shown in Figure 8.11.
2. A 3.0 pu response alternator-fed SCR system with high initial response shown in
Figure 8.12. This system has a steady-state gain of 200 pu and a transient gain of
20 pu . An external stabilizer using a signal V. derived from the shaft speed is also
used (see Section 8.7).

1 Trans.. vol, PAS-89. July/Aug. 1970.)
From the data presented in [19]. the effect of excitation on the "first-swing" tran-
sients is shown in Figure 8.13, where the critical clearing time is plotted against the
transmission line reactance for the case where X. a = X. h and for the two different
types of excitation system used . The critical clearing time is used as a measure of
relative stability for the system under the impact of the given fault. Figure 8.13 shows
that for the conditions considered in this study a change in exciter response ratio from
0.5 to 3.0 resulted in a gain of approximately one cycle in critical clearing time.

tions about a quiescent operating condition, are given by (the subscript d is omitted
for convenience)

TjWS = Tm - T, (8.13)
where TdO is the direct axis open circuit time constant and the constants K , through K 6
depend on the system parameters and on the initial operating condition as defined in
Chapter 6. In previous chapters it was pointed out that this model is a substantial
improvement over the classical model since it accounts for the demagnetizing effects
of the armature reaction through the change in E; due to change in ~.
We now add to the generator model a regulator-excitation system that is repre-
sented as a first-order lag. Thus the change in EFD is related to the change in ~
(again the subscript ~ is dropped) by
EFD/~ = -Kf/(l + TfS) (8.14)
where K, is the regulator gain and r, is the exciter-regulator time constant.
8.4.1 Examination of dynamic stability by Routh's criterion
To obtain the characteristic equation for the system described by (8.10)-(8.14),
a procedure similar to that used in Section 3.5 is followed. First, we obtain
where
al = (l/a)(a~ - 1') = ~ - l'/a
a2 = (1/1)(117 - 0) = 17
(8.18)
According to Routh's criterion for stability, the number of changes in sign in the first
column (I, a, ai, b c, and CI) corresponds to the number of roots of (8.17) with positive
real parts. Therefore, for stability the terms a, aJ, bv, and CI must all be greater than
zero. Thus the following conditions must be satisfied.
I. a = I/T + I/K]Tdo > O,andsince r, and TdO are positive,
f
(8.19)
K 3 is an impedance factor that is not likely to be negative unless there is an exces-
sive series capacitance in the transmission network. Even then TdO/Tf is usually large
enough to satisfy the above criterion.

This inequality is easily satisfied for all values of constants normally encountered in
power system operation. Note that negative K, is not considered feasible. From
(8.20) K, is limited to values greater than some negative number, a constraint that
is always satisfied in the physical system.

Solution
In Table 8.3 the values of the constants K, through K6 are given together with the
maximum value of K, from (8.22) and the minimum value of K, from (8.23). The regu-
lator time constant if used is 0.5 s, ;;0 = 5.9 s, and' H = 2.37 s. Case 1 is discussed
in Examples 5.1 and 6.6; Case 2, in Examples 5.2 and 6.5.

role in system performance. The loading seems to influence the values of K, and K,
more than the other constants. At heavier loads the values of these constants change
such that in (8.22) the left side tends to decrease while the right side tends to increase .
This change is in the direction to lower the permissible maximum value of exciter-
regulator gain K,. For the problem under study, the heavier load condition of Case I
allows a lower limit for K, than that for the less severe Case 2.
Routh 's criterion is a feasible tool to use to find the limits of stable operation in a
physical system . As shown in Example 8.3, the results are dependent upon both the sys-
tem parameters and the initial operating point. The analysis here has been simplified to
omit the rate feedback loop that is normally an integral part of excitation systems. Rate
feedback could be included in this analysis, but the resulting equations become compli-
cated to the point that one is almost forced to find an alternate method of analysis.
Computer based methods are available to determine the behavior of such systems and
are recommended for the more complex cases [20. 21] .
One special case of the foregoing analysis has been extensively studied [II). This
analysis assumes high regulator gain (K JK6K, I) and low exciter time constant
(T, KJT~O) ' In this special case certain simplificat ions are possible . See Problem 8.4.
Equation (8.24) can be put in the standard form for second-order systems as
V,/ VREF = K/(S2 + 2fwns + w~) (8.25)

Note that the damping torque Td will have the same sign as K. This latter quantity
can be negative at some operating conditions (see Example 6.6). In this case the regula-
tor reduces the inherent system damping.
At very low frequencies (8.30) is approximately given by
(8.32)
which is higher than the value obtained for the unregulated machine given by (8.27).
Effect of Excitation on Stability 327
Therefore, whereas the regulator improves the synchronizing forces in the machine at
low frequencies of oscillation, it reduces the inherent system damping when K, is nega-
tive, a common condition for synchronous machines operated near rated load .

Fig .8.18 Block diagram with V, as the takeoff point for feedback loops.
To study the effect of the different feedback loops, we manipulate the block diagram
so that all the feedback loops "originate" at the same takeoff point. This is done by
standard techniques used in feedback control systems (22). The common takeoff point
desired is the terminal voltage v" and feedback loops to be studied are the regulator
and the rate feedback GF(s). The resulting block diagram is shown in Figure 8.18.
In that figure the transfer function N(s) is given by
K3K6(2Hi + Ds + K1wR) - WRK2K3KS
N(s) = 2 (8.33)
+ K3TdOS)(2Hs + Ds + K1WR) - WRK2K3K4

(I
Note that the expression for N (s) can be simplified if the damping D is neglected or if
the term containing K s is om itted (K s is usually very small at heavy load conditions).
The system of Figure 8.18 is solved by linear system analysis techniques , using the
digital computer. A number of computer programs are available that are capable of
solving very complex line ar systems and of displaying the results graphically in several
convenient ways or in tabular forms [20, 21). For a given operating point we can
obtain the loci of roots of the open loop system and the frequency response to a sinu-
soidal input as well as the time response to a small step change in input.
The results of the linear computer analysis are best illustrated by some examples.
In the analysis given in thi s section , the machine discussed in the examples of Chap-
ters 4,5, and 6 is analyzed for the loading condition of Example 6.7. The exciter data
are K A = 400, TA = 0.05, K E = -0.17, TE = 0.95. K R = 1.0 and TR = O. The machine
constants are 2H = 4.74 s, D = 2.0 pu and TdO = 5.9 s. The constants K , through K6
in pu for the operating point to be analyzed are
1.4479 K3 = 0 .3072 K, = 0.0294
1.3174 K4 = 1.8052 K6 = 0.5257

winding and exciter parameters. The effect of the pair caused by the torque angle loop
is noticeable in the Bode plots of Figures 8.21 --8.22. These roots occur near the natural
Irequency ,, = (1.4479 x 377/4.74)1/2 = 10.73 rad/s. The rate feedback modifies the
root-locus plot in such a way as to make the system stable even with high amplifier
gains. The poles and zeros obtained from the computer results are given in Table 8.4.
Example 8.5
Repeat part (b) of Example 8.4 with (a) D = 0 and (b) K, = O.
Solution
(a) For the case of D = 0 it is found (from the computer output) that the poles
and zeros affected are only those determined by the torque angle loop . These poles
now become -0.13910 jI0.72550 (instead of -0.35021 jI0.72620). The net effect
is to move the branch of the root locus determined by these poles and zeros to just
slightly away from the imaginary axis.
(b) It has been shown that K, is numerically small. Except for the situations where
K, becomes negative, its main effect is to change W n to the value
w2n = (wR/2H)(K I - K 2K s/Kd
The computer output for K, = 0 is essentially the same as that of Example 8.4.
The root-locus plot and the time response to a step change in VREF for the cases
of D = 0 and K, = 0 are displayed in Figures 8.23--8.24.
The examples given in this section substantiate the conclusions reached in Sec-
tion 7.7 concerning the importance of the rate feedback for a stable operation at high
values of gain. A very significant point to note about the two pairs of complex roots
that dominate the system dynamic response is the nature of the damping associated
with them. The damping coefficient D primarily affects the roots caused by the torque
angle loop at a frequency near the natural frequency w n The second pair of roots,
determined by the field circuit and exciter parameters, gives a somewhat lower fre-

quency and its damping is inherently poor . This is an important consideration in the
study of power system stabilizers.
8.6 Approximate System Representation
In the previous section it is shown that the dynamic system performance is domi-
nated by two pairs of complex roots that are particularly significant at low frequencies.
In this frequency range the system damping is inherently low, and stabilizing signals
are often needed to improve the system damping (Section 8.7). Here we develop an ap-
proximate model for the excitation system that is valid for low frequencies.
We recognize that the effect of the rate feedback GF(S) in Figure 8.17 is such that
it can be neglected at low frequencies (s = jw -+ 0) or near steady state (t -+ 00).
We have already pointed out that K, is usually very small and is omitted in this
approximate model. The feedback path through K4 provides a small positive damping
component that is usually considered negligible [II). The resulting reduced system is
composed of two subsystems: one representing the exciter-field effects and the other repre-
senting the inertial effects. These effects contribute the electrical torque components
designated Td and T. , respectivel y.
8.6.1 Approximate excitation system representation
The approximate system to be analyzed is shown in Figure 8.25 where the exciter
and the generator have been approximated by simple first-order lags [II). A straight-
forward analysis of this system gives

The equivalent infinite bus voltage VJ is calculated by subtracting the drop l;z~
from the generator terminal voltage P;;, where 1; is the generator current. The pro-
cedure is illustrated by an example.

Example 8.6
Compute the constants K1 through K6 for generator 2 of Example 2.6, using the
equivalent infinite bus method outlined above. Note that the three-machine system is
certainly not considered to have an infinite bus, and the results might be expected to
differ from those obtained by a more detailed simulation.
Solution
From Example 2.6 the following data for the machine are known (in pu and s).
Xd2 = 0.8958 X q2 = 0.8645 x-t 2 = 0.0521 H2 = 6.4
x:/2 = 0.1198 X;2 = 0.1969 Td02 = 6.0
We can establish the terminal conditions from the load-flow study of Figure 2.19:

The terminal voltage node of generator 2 had been eliminated in the reduction process.
However, since it is connected to the internal node by Xd2' can be obtained z.
by using the approximate relation Ze = 1I Y22 - jXd2' The exact reduction process
gives
v~ = V~fs5.. = ~2 - Ze/2
= 1.025 /9.280 - (0.2450 /77.029)( 1.592/6.941 0
)
Example 8.7
The exciter for generator 2 of the three-machine system has the constants K, = 400
and r, = 0.95 s. Compute the parameters of Gx(s). For the system natural fre-
quency (see Example 3.4) calculate the excitation control system phase lag. (Here again
we emphasize the need for actual measurement of the system parameters. Lacking
such measurement, a judgment is made as to which parameters should be used. We use
the regulator gain and the exciter time constant. It is judged that the latter is impor-
tant at the low frequencies of interest. This point is a source of some confusion in the
literature. It is sometimes assumed, erroneously, that the regulator time constant is
to be used when the excitation system is represented by one time constant. This is not
valid for low frequencies.)
Solution
From (8.36) we have
Wx = v(0.507 x 400)/(6.0 x 0.95) = 5.967 rad/s
!x = (0.95 + 0.318 x 6.0)/(2 x 5.967 x 0.318 x 6.0 x 0.95) = 0.132
and the excitation system is poorly damped.
From Example 3.4 the dominant frequency of oscillation is approximately 1.4 Hz or
Wosc ~ 8.8 rad/s. At any frequency the characteristic equation of Gx(s) is obtained by

Fig .8.26 Characteristics of a second-order transfer function : (a) amplitude. (b) phase shift.
The excitation system phase lag in Example 8.7 is rather large, and phase compensa-
tion is likely to be required (see Section 8.7). The phase lag is large because Wost >
w, and S, is small. For small damping the phase changes very fast in the neighborhood
of w, (where cPlag = 90). Many textbooks on control systems, such as (22), give curves
of phase shift as a function of normalized frequency, U = w/wn , as shown in Figure 8.26.
In the above example, with U = 8.8/5 .967 = 1.47 and = 0.13, it is apparent from r
Figure 8.26(b) that the phase lag is great.
8.6.3 The inertial transfer function
The inertial transfer function can be obtained by inspection from Figure 8.17. For
the case where damping is present,
338 Chapter 8
-0 wR/2H
(8.38)
Where w" is the natural frequency of the rotating mass and!" is the damping factor,
Wn = vlK,WR/2H
!n = D/4Hwn = D/2v12HK 1wR (8.39)
The damping of the inertial system is usually very low.
Example 8.8
Compute the characteristic equation, the undamped natural frequency, and the
damping factor of the inertial system of generator 2 (Example 2.6). Use D = 2 pu.
Solution
From the data of Examples 2.6 and 8.6 we compute
d(5) = 52 + 0.1565 + 72.894
w" = "\1'72.894 = 8.538 rad/s
t, = 2/[2(12.8 x 2.975 x 377)1/2] = 0.009
d(jw) = 1 - O.0137w 2 + jO.00214w
At the system frequency of oscillation w = Wos c = 8.8 rad/s,
Iag = tan " [0.0183/(-0.0222 - 0.0604)]
can be conveniently characterized and the unit performance determined, from the linear
block diagram of that generator. This block diagram is shown in Figure 8.28.
The constants K, through K 6 are load dependent (see Section 8.6 for an approxi-
mate method to determine these constants) but may be considered constant for small
deviations about the operating point. The damping constant D is usually in the range
of 1.0--3.0 pu. The system time constants, gains, and inertia constants are obtained
from the equipment manufacturers or by measurement.
The PSS is shown here as a feedback element from the shaft speed and is often
given in the form [II]
(8.40)
The first term in (8.40) is a reset term that is used to "wash out " the compensation
effect after a time lag TO, with typical values of 4 s [II] to 20 or 30 s [12]. The use of
reset control will assure no permanent offset in the terminal voltage due to a prolonged
error in frequency, such as might occur in an overload or islanding condition. The
second term in Gs(s) is a lead compensation pair that can be used to improve the
phase lag through the system from VREF to WA at the power system frequency of
oscillation .
Qualitatively, we can recognize the existence of a potential control problem in the
system of Figure 8.28 due to the cascading of several phase lags in the forward loop.
In terms of a Bode or frequency analysis (see [22J, for example) the system is likely
to have inadequate phase margin. This is difficult to show quantitatively in the com-
plete system because of its complexity . We therefore take advantage of the simplified
representation developed in Section 8.6 and the results obtained in that section .
(8.39) respectively .
Examining Figure 8.29 we can see that to damp speed oscillations, the power
system stabilizer must compensate for much of the inherent forward loop phase lag.
Thus the PSS network must provide lead compensation .

For any lead network the Bode diagram is that shown in Figure 8.32, where the
asymptotic approximation is illustrated [22). The maximum phase lead r/>m occurs at
the median frequency W m , where W m occurs at the geometric mean of the corner fre-
quencies: i.e.,
10glOwm = (1/2)(IoglO(I/aT) + 10glO(I/T)]
= (1/2)!oglO(I/aT 2 ) = loglO(I/nla)
Then
Wm = I/n/a (8.44)
The magnitude of the maximum phase lead r/>m is computed from
r/>m = arg[(1 + jwmaT)/(1 + jWmT)] = tan -'wmaT - tan-1wmT ~ x - y (8.45)
From trigonometric identities
tan(x - y) (tanx - tany)/(I + tanxtany) (8.46)
Therefore, using (8.46) in (8.45)
tan r/>m = (wmaT - W mT)/[ I + (wmaT)(wmT) = WmT(a - I)/( I + aw~ T2) (8.47)
This expression can be simplified by using (8.44) to compute
tan r/>m = (a - 1)/ 2Vii (8.48)

Example 8.9
Compute the parameters of the power system stabilizer required to exactly compen-
sate for the excitation control system lag of 161.6 computed in Example 8.7.
Solution
Assume two cascaded lead stages. Then the phase lead per stage is
m = 161.6/2 = 80.8
From (8.50)
a = (1 + sin 80.8)/( I - sin 80.8) = 154.48
This is a very large ratio, and it would probably be preferable to design the compen-
sator with three lead stages such that m = 53.9. Then
a = (I + sin 53.9)/( I - sin 53.9) = 9.42
which is a reasonable ratio to achieve physically.
The natural frequency of oscillation of the system is Wos c = Wm = 8.8 rad/s, Thus
from (8.44)
T = I/wmw = 0.037 a r = 0.3488
Thus
Gs (s) = [ ,ToS / (I + T os)][ (I + 0.349s)/ (1 + 0.037s)P
A suitable value for the reset time constant is TO = lOs. The gain Ko is usually modest
[26J, say 0.) < Ko < 100, and is usually field adjusted for good response. It is also
common to limit the output of the stabilizer, as shown in Figure 8.28, so that the stabi-
lizer output will never dominate the terminal voltage feedback.
Example 8./0
Assume a two-stage lead-compensated stabilizer. Prepare a table showing the phase
lead and the compensator parameters as a function of Q.
Solution
As before, we assume that W m = 8.8 rad/s,
344 Chapter 8
These results show that for a large a or large rPm the corner frequencies WHi and
WLO must be spread farther apart than for small rPm . See Figure 8.32 and Problem 8.1 I.

the locus near the origin is unaffected by the PSS, but the locus breaking away vertically
from the negative real axis moves closer to the origin as compensation is added (this
locus is off scale in 8.33(a)]. From the computer we also obtain the tabulation of poles
and zeros given in Table 8.6. From this table we note that the natural radian frequency
of oscillation is controlled by the torque-angle poles with a frequency of 8.467 rad/s.
This agrees closely with W n = 8.538 rad/s computed in Example 8.8 using the approxi-
mate model and also checks well with the frequency of 021 in Figure 3.3.
Figure 8.34 shows the substantial improvement in damping introduced by the PSS
network. Note the slightly decreased frequency of oscillation in the stabilized response.
Figures 8.35 and 8.36 show the frequency response of the closed loop and open loop
transfer functions respectively. The uncompensated system has a very sharp drop in
phase very near the frequency of oscillation. Lead compensation improves the phase
substantially in this region, thus improving gain and phase margins.

Comparing the responses shown in Figures 8.38, 7.69, and 8.39 with that of Figure
5.20, we note that without the exciter the slow transient is dominated by the field wind-
ing effective time constant. The terminal voltage, the field flux linkage, and the rotor
angle are slow in reaching their new steady-state values. From Figures 8.38, 7.69, and
8.39 we can see that the steady-state conditions are reached sooner with the exciter
present. At the same time, the response is more oscillatory.
8.9.2 Effectiveness of compensation
A detailed study of the effectiveness of four methods of compensation is given in
[28J, by comparing the dynamic response due to changes in the mechanical torque T;
and the reference excitation voltage VREF at various machine loadings. The dynamic
response comparison is based on observing the rise time, settling time, and percent
overshoot of either Pe~ or Vt~ in a given transient. For example, a 10~~ increase in
the reference torque is made, and the change in electrical power output Pea is observed.
The machine data and loading are essentially those given in the Examples 8.4 and 8.5.

Other valuable information that can be obtained from analog computer studies is
the response of the machine to oscillations originating in the system to which the ma-
chine is connected. This can be simulated on the analog representation of one machine
connected to an infinite bus by modulating the infinite bus voltage with a signal of the
desired frequency. This is particularly valuable in studies to improve the system damp-
ing. When growing oscillations occur in large interconnected systems, the frequencies
of these oscillations are usually on the order orO.2-0.3 Hz, with other frequencies super-
imposed upon them. Thus it is important to know the dynamic response of the synchro-
nous machine under these conditions.

A sample of this type of st ud y. taken from [28]. is shown here. The same machine
discussed above . but operating under the heavy loading condition of Example 5.1. has
its bus voltage modulated by a frequency of one-tenth the natural frequency . The
modulating signal varies the infinite bus voltage between 1.02 and 0.98 peak . Fig -
ure 8.40 shows the effect of the PSS under these conditions. At time A the modulating
signal of 2.1 rad/s is added . The PSS is removed at B. causing growing oscillations to
build up especially on Pet.. which would simulate tie-line oscillations. Note also that
the frequency of these oscillations is near the natural frequency of the machine. When
the stabilizer is reinstated at point C. the oscillations are quickly damped out. At
point D the modulation is removed .

Results with three-cycle fault clearing. Figure 8.42 shows a plot of the first swing of
the angle 021 for different field representations. Note that the classical run gives the
angle of the voltage beh ind transient reactance, while all th e others give the position
of the q ax is. A run with constant EFD is also added . We conclude from the results
shown in Figure 8.42 that for a three-cycle clearing time the classical model gives ap-
pro ximately the same magnitude of 0 21 for the first swing as the different exc iter repre-
sentations . When the exciter model was adjusted to give con stant Em. however, a large
swing was obtained.
From Figure 8,43 we conclude that the slow exciter give s the nearest simulation of
a constant flux linkage in the main field winding (and hence constant E~) a nd minimum
variation of the terminal voltage after fault clearing.
The action of the exciter and the armature reaction effects are clearly displayed in
Figure 8.44 . It is interesting to note that the actual field current, as seen by the EM F E,
is hardly affected by the value of Em for most of the duration of the first swing after
the fault is cleared. The effect of the armature reaction is dominant in this period.
Figure 8.45 shows a time plot of P2 for this transient. Again it can be seen that
the different model s give essentially the same power swing for this generator. We note,
however, that the minimum swing is obtained with the slow exciter while the maximum
swing is obtained with the classical model.
In Figure 8.46 the rotor angle 021 is plotted for a period of 2.0 s for the classical
model , a slow IEEE Type I exciter, and a relatively fast exciter with 2.0pu response .
The plot shows that the first swing is the largest , with the subsequent swings slightly
reduced in magnitude.
Figures 8.42 -8.46 seem to indicate that for this fault the system is well below the
stabil ity limit, since the magnitude of the first swing is on the order of 60. All generator

2 models give approximately the same magnitude of rotor angle and power swing and
period of oscillation.
Results with six-cycle fault clearing. For the case of a six-cycle clearing time. the
plot of the angle 021 is shown in Figure 8.47 for the classical model and for two different
types of exciter models . The swing curves indicate that this is a much more severe
fault than the previous one, and the system is perhaps close to the transient stability
limit. Here the sw ing curves for the generator with different field representations are
quite different in both the magnitude of swings and periods of oscillation . The effect
of the 2.0 pu respon se exciter is pronounced after the first swing. The effect of the
power system stabilizer on the response is hardly noticeable until the second swing.
The magnitude of the first swing for the cases where the excitation system is represented
in detail is significantly larger than for the case of the classical representation . The
Type I exciter gives the highest swing. Comparing Figures 8.46 and 8.47. we note that
for this severe fault the rotor oscillation of generator 2 depends a great deal on the type
of excitation system used on the generator. We also note that the classical model does
not accurately represent the generator response for this case.

Fig. 8.47 Rotor angle 021 for various exciters with a six-cycle fault.
The output power of generator 2 is shown in Figure 8.48 for different exciter repre-
sentations. While the general shape of these curves is the same, some significant dif-
ferences are noted . The excitation system increases the output power of the generator
after the first swing . The generator acceleration will thus decrease, causing the rotor
swing to decrease appreciably . This effect is not noticed in the classical model. It
would appear that for slightly more severe fault s the classical model may predict differ-
ent results concerning stability than those predicted using the detailed representation
of the exciter.
Figures 8.49 and 8.50 show plots of the various voltages and EMF 's of generator 2
for the case of the 2.0 pu exciter and the Type I exciter respectively. The curves for
E; show that although the fault is near the generator terminal, the flux linkage in the
main field winding (reflected in the value of E;) drops only slightly (by about 5%); and
for the duration of the first swing it is fairl y constant. The faster recovery occurs with
the 2.0 pu exciter, and E;reaches a plateau at about 1.1 s and stays fairly constant
thereafter . For the Type I exciter E;
recovers slowly and continues to increase steadily.
The oscillations of terminal voltage V, are somewhat complex . The first swing after the
fault seems to be dominated by the inertial swing of the rotor, with the action of the
exciter dominating the subsequent swings in v,. Thus after the first voltage dip, the
swings in V, follow the changes in the field voltage Em with a slight time lag . Again
the recovery of the terminal voltage is faster with the 2.0 pu exciter than with the Type I
exciter. We also note that the excitation system introduces additional frequencies of
oscillation, which appear in the V, response .

The plots of E clearly show the effect of the armature reaction . In the first 0 .7 s,
for example, the changes in Em are reflected only in a minor way in the total internal
EM F E. The component of E due to the armature reaction seems to be dom inant be-
cause the field circuit time constant is long. The general shape of the EMF plot, how-
ever, is due to the effects of both Em and the armature reaction ,
From the data presented in this study we conclude that for a less severe fault or for
fast fault clearing, the excitation representation is not critical in predicting the system
dynamic responses . However, for a more severe fault or for studies involving tong
transient periods, it is important to represent the excitation system accurately to obtain
the correct system dynamic response.

The improvement in the angle 021' defined as 021~ = 021 (no PSS) - 021 (PSS)' has been
investigated for different PSS parameters. It is found that this angle improvement is
sensitive to both the amount of lead compensation and to the cutoff level of the PSS
limiter. A comparison of several runs is shown in Table 8.12.

may be obtained if the classical machine representation is used . Transient studies are
frequently run for a few swings to check on situations where circuit breakers may fail
to operate properly and where backup protection is used . It should be mentioned that
several transients have been encountered in the systems of North A merica where subse-
quent swings were of greater magnitudes than the first, causing eventual loss of synchro-
nism . This is not too surprising in large interconnected systems with numerous modes
of oscillations. It is not unlikely that some of the modes may be superimposed at some
time after the start of the transient in such a way as to cause increased angle deviation .
As shown in Section 8 .10, the effect of excitation system compensation on subsequent
swings (in large transients) is very pronounced . This has been repeatedly demonstrated
in computer simulation studies and by field tests reported upon in the literature [8,9, 13,
23,29,30,31). For example, in a stability study conducted by engineers of the Ne-
braska Public Power District, the effect of the PSS on damping the subsequent swings
was found to be quite pronounced, while the effect on the magnitude of the first swing
was hardly noticeable. The excitation system used is the Brown Boveri exciter shown in
Figure 8.41. The PSS used is shown schematically in Figure 8.53, and the swing curves
obtained with and without the PSS (for the same fault) are shown in Figure 8.54.
Voltage regulators can and do improve the synchronizing torques . Their effect on
damping torques are small; but in the cases where the system exhibits negative damping
characteristics, the voltage regulator usually aggravates the situation by increasing the
negative damping. Supplementary signals to introduce artificial damping torques and
to reduce intermachine and intersystem oscillations have been used with great success.
These signals must be introduced with the proper phase relations to compensate for the
excessive phase lag (and hence improve the system damping) at the desired frequen-
cies (32).
Large interconnected power systems experience negative damping at very low fre-
quencies of oscillations. The parameters of the PSS for a particular generator must be
adjusted after careful study of the power system dynamic performance and the gen-
erator-exciter dynamic response characteristics. As indicated in Section 8.6, to obtain
these characteristics, field measurements are preferred. If such measurements are not
possible, approximate methods of analysis can be used to obtain preliminary des ign
data, with provision for the adjustment of the PSS parameters to be made on the site
after installation . Usually the PSS parameters are optimized over a range of frequen-
cies between the natural mode of oscillation of the machine and the dominant fre-
quency of oscillation of the interconnected power system.

Fig.8.54 Effect of the PSS on tran sient stabi lity. (Obtained by private communication and used with per-
mission.)
Recently many studies have been made on the use of various types of compensating
networks to meet different situations and stimuli. Most of these studies concentrate
on the use of a signal derived from speed or frequency deviation processed through a
PSS network to give the proper phase relation to obtain the desired damping charac-
teristic. This approach seems to concentrate on alleviating the problem of growing
oscillations on tie lines [II, 13, 14, 24, 26, 30, 33-39). However, in a large intercon-
nected system it is possible to have a variety of potential problems that can be helped
by excitation control. Whether the stabilizing signal derived from speed provides the
best answer is an open question . It would seem likely that the pr inciple of "optimal
control" theory is applicable to this problem. Here signals derived from the various
"states" of the system are fed back with different gains to optim ize the system dynamic
performance. This optimization is accomplished by assigning a performance index .
This index is minimized by a control law described by a set of equations . These equa-
tions are solved for the gain constants . This subject is under active investigation by
many researchers [40-44) .

Multimachine Systems with Constant
Impedance Loads
9. 1 Introduction
In this chapter we develop the equations for the load constraints in a multimachine
system in the special case where the loads are to be represented by constant impedances.
The objective is to give a mathematical description of the multimachine system with the
load constraints included.
Representing loads by constant impedance is not usually considered accurate. It
has been shown in Section 2.11 that this type of load representation could lead to some
error. A more accurate representation of the loads will be discussed in Part III of this
work. Our main concern here is to apply the load constraints to the equations of the
machines. We choose the constant impedance load case because of its relative sim-
plicity and because with this choice all the nodes other than the generator nodes can be
eliminated by network reduction (See Section 2.10.2).
needed to complete the description of the system. These equations are obtained from
the load constraints.
The objective here is to derive relations between vd; and Vq;, i = 1, 2, ... , n, and the
state variables. This will be obtained in the form of a relation between these voltages,
the machine currents i q; and i d; , and the angles 0;. i = 1,2, ... , n. In the case of the flux
linkage model the currents are linear combinations of the flux linkages, as given in
(4.124). For convenience we will use a complex notation defined as follows.
For machine i we define the phasors V; and ~ as
(9.2)
where
Vq; ~ vq;/vr Vd; ~ vd;/vr
t; ~ iq;/vr ld; ~ id;/vr (9.3)
and where the axis q; is taken as the phasor reference in each case. Then we define the
complex vectors V and I by
Vq 1 + j Vd 1 VI
V ~ Vq 2 + j Vd 2 il2
Vqn + j Vd n ~
lq, + j/dl t,
T~ Iq2 + j/d2 t;
Note carefully that the voltage ~ and the current ~ are referred to the q and d axes
of machine i. In other words the different voltages and currents are expressed in terms
of different reference frames. The desired relation is that which relates the vectors V
and T. When obtained, it will represent a set of n complex algebraic equations, or 2n
real equations. These are the additional equations needed to complete the mathematical
description of the system.

negligible compared to the terms wti. The first assumption makes the term wtl<il<

Example 9.3.
Derive the complete system equations for a two-machine system . The machines are
to be represented by the two-axis model (see Section 4 .15 .3). and the loads are to be
represented by constant impedances.
Solution
The transient equivalent circuit of each synchronous machine is given in Figure
4.16. A further approximation, commonly used with this model, is that x;""'" x; ~ x' .
The network is now shown in Figure 9.5. The representation is similar to that or the
classical model except that in Figure 9 .5 the voltages E; and Ei are not constant.
The first step is to reduce the network to the "internal" generator nodes 1 and 2.
Thus the transient generator impedances '1
+ jx; and r, + jxi are included in the net-
work Y (or Z) matrix. The voltages at the nodes are E; = E;I + jE;, and Ei = E;2 + jE;2.
and the currents are 7; = I ql + j/dl and T;. = I q2 + j/J 2' The relation between them is

given by an equation similar to (9.40). The equations for each machine, under the as-
sumption that x~ ~ x;, are the two axis equations of Section 4.15.3.

Equations (9.40), with Vi replaced with l:, and (9.41) completely describe the

The complete system equations are given by

The system given by (9.42) is not an eighth-order system since the equations are not
independent. This system is actually a seventh-order system with state variables
E;" Ed" ;2' Ed2, WI' W2' and 0 12 , The reduction of the order is obtained from the last

Furthermore, if damping is uniform: i.e., if DI/T;t = D2/ T;2 = D/T; (or if damping is
not present) then the system is further reduced in order by one, and the two torque
equations can be combined in the form

and (1 = C x where C is a constant matrix. The system (9.43) may then be written in
the form
x=Ax-Bf(u) (9.44)
where A and B are constant matrices.
The order of the system (9.44) is determined by examining the transfer function of
the linear part (with s the Laplace variable)
W(s) = C(sl - A)-I B (9.45)
This has been done in the literature [2, 3]. Expanding (9.45) in partial fractions and
examining the ranks of the coefficients obtained, the minimal order of the system is ob-
tained. It is shown that the minimal order for this system is 2n - 1. For the uniform
damping case, i.e., for constant D;/T;;, the order of the system becomes 2n - 2 (see
also [4]).
The conclusions summarized above for the classical model can be generalized as
follows. If the order of the mathematical model describing the synchronous machine i is
k;, i = 1,2, ... , n, and if damping terms are nonuniform damping, the order of the sys-
tem is (L7= I k, -1). However, if the damping coefficients are uniform or if the damp-
ing terms are not present, a further reduction of the order is obtained by referring all
the speeds to the speed of the reference machine. The system order then becomes
(L?= 1 k; - 2).
The above rule should be kept in mind, especially in situations where eigenvalues
are obtained such as in the linearized models used in Chapter 6. Unless angle differ-
ences are used, the sum of the column of o's will be zero and a zero eigenvalue will be
obtained (see Section 9.12.4).

~ = VQ, +jVD, = E,coso, +jE,sino, (9.46)
At any instant if 0, is known, VQ, and VOr are also known.
Since the voltage E, is considered to be along the q axis of the machine represented
by the classical model, we can also express the voltage of this machine in phasor nota-
tion as
ii: = E, + jO r = 1,2, ... , C (9.47)
where c is the number of machines represented by the classical model. Also from
(4.93) on a per phase base
Dividing both sides by three changes the base power to a three-phase base and
divides each voltage and current by W, converting to stator rms equivalent quantities.
Thus we have
(9.48)
Note that E, is in per unit to a base of rated voltage to neutral.
Assuming that the speed does not deviate appreciably from the synchronous speed,
then T, '" P, and from the swing equation (4.90) on a three-phase base
5r = wr - 1 (9.49)
A machine r represented by the classical model will have only w, and D, as state
variables. In (9.49) E, is known, while lqr is a variable that should be eliminated. To
do this we should obtain a relation between I q, and the currents of the machines repre-
sented in detail. Similarly the voltages ~i and ~i of the machines represented in
detail should be expressed in terms of the currents lq; and Id; of these machines and the
voltages E, of the machines represented classically. To obtain the above desired rela-
tions, the following procedure is suggested.
Let m be the number of machines represented in detail, and c the number of ma-
chines represented by the classical model; i.e.,

where in (9.51) the complex matrix M is partitioned. Now since Mill exists, (9.51)

Equation (9.52) is the desired relation between the voltages of the machines represented
in detail along with the currents of the machines represented classically, as functions
of the current variables of the former machines and the known internal voltages of the

the angle differences as well as the admittance parameters.

Again the nodes retained are the "internal" generator nodes, and the transient im-
pedances of both generators are included in the network Y (or Z) matrix. The equations
needed to describe this system are (9.41) for generator 1, (9.49) for generator 2, and an
additional set of algebraic equations relating the node currents to the node voltages.
Since the two-axis model retains ; and ; as state variables, it is convenient to
use (9.51). For the two-machine system this is the same as (9.40), with E~ replacing

Equations (9.94) and (9.95) are the desired network equations. Together with the

Equations (9.100) and" (9.101) are needed to eliminate Vqi and Vdi in the state-space
equations when the flux linkage model, such as given in (4.138), is used.
The above illustrates the complexity of the use of the full-machine flux linkage
model together with the network equations. Much of the labor is reduced when some
of the simplified synchronous machine models of Section 4.15 are used. For exam-
ple, if the constant voltage behind subtransient reactance is used, the voltages E;i
and Ed; become state variables. The network is reduced to the generator internal
nodes. This allows the direct use of a relation similar to (9.31) to complete the mathe-
matical description of the system model. This has been illustrated in some of the
examples used in this chapter.
The linearized equations for the flux linkage model are obtained from (9.97), which
is linear, and (9.73). Following a procedure similar to that used in deriving (9.100) and
(9.101), we expand (9.73) into real and imaginary terms as follows:
V~ = Vq~ + jVd~
= (QRo + jQ/o)(lq~ + jld~) - j [O~(QRO + jQIO) - (QRO + jQIO)~~)(lqo + jIdo)
= [QRoIq~ - Q/old~ + (OAQ/O - Q/o~A)Iqo + (~~QRO - QRo~A)Ido]
+ j[Q/olq~ + QRoId~ - (O.1QRO - QRo~~)lqo + (O.1Q/O - Q/o~A)Ido] (9.102)
The terms in Iq~, IdA' I qo, and Ido are substituted for by the linear combinations of the
flux linkages given by (9.97).
By examining (9.103) and (9.31) we note the following: The differential equations
describing the changes in the machine currents, rotor speeds, and angles are given in
terms of the individual machine parameters only. The voltage-current relationships
(9.3 J) are functions of the angles of all machines. This creates difficulties in the solu-
tion of these equations and is referred to in the literature as "the interface prob-
lem" [10]. The nature of the system equations forces the solution methods to be per-
formed in two different phases (or cycles). One phase deals with the state of the
network, in terms of node voltages and currents, assuming "known" internal machine
quantities. The other phase is the solution of the differential equations of (9.103)
only. The solution alternates between these two phases. This problem is mentioned
here to focus attention on the system and solution complexities. This problem will be
discussed further in Part III of this work.
Finally, if the flux linkage model is used (for the case where saturation is neglected),
the system equations will be (4.138), (9.100), and (9.10 t). Again the "interface prob-
lem" and the computational difficulties are encountered.

By using (9.113), the currents are then eliminated in (9.114). Combining terms and
using the relation oij = 0; - OJ' we obtain the linearized differential equations for
the three-machine system. The results are shown in (9.115), which is of the form

The eigenvalues of the A matrix are obtained for the case of D I D2
1.0 pu, using a library computer program. They are
x, -0.002664 + jO.034648 A6 -0.010373

A4 -0.000622 - jO.022984 A9 -0.000199 - jO.000129
As = -0.016644
All the eigenvalues have negative real parts, and the system is stable for the op-
erating point under study. The dominant frequencies are about 2.1 Hz and 1.4 Hz
respectively. These frequencies are the rotor electromechanical oscillations and should
be very similar to the frequencies obtained in Example 3.4. Thus if we plot Pl2 from
the data of Figure 3.8, we find that the dominant frequency is about 1.4 Hz, which
checks with the data obtained here.
A similar run was obtained for the same data except for D, = D2 = D3 = O.
The eigenvalues are
AI -0.000458 -0.000529 + jO.022983
A2 -0.000281 -0.000529 - jO.022983

A4 -0.016659 -0.002459 - jO.034636
As = 0
Since this is a special case of uniform damping (D/Tj = 0), the system order is re-
duced by one. The frequencies corresponding to the electromechanical oscillations are
almost unchanged, while the long period frequency has disappeared.

Speed Governing
Prime mover governors, especially centrifugal flyball governors, have been in use since the
late 1700s. James Watt first applied a centrifugal governor to a steam engine in about 1788.
There is evidence that he considered a patent application for his governor and probably decided
against it because of earlier patents for similar centrifugal devices used to regulate the speed of
water wheels and windmills in the milling industry [1, 2]. During the 19th century interest in
speed governing intensified and a number of scholarly papers were written on the subject. Over
100 references on the subject are given in the Royal Society of London Catalogue of Scientific
Papers, 1800-1900 [3]. Many of the prominent engineers and scientists of that era made contri-
butions to the description and analysis of governors. These include C. W. Siemens, J. C.
Maxwell, W. Thompson (Kelvin), 1.B. L. Foucault, and I. Vyshnegradski. Pontryagin [4] refers
to the work of the Russian engineer Vishnegradski (published in 1876) as of "complete clarity
and simplicity" and credits him as being the originator of automatic controls (in Russia). Ham-
mond [5] notes that J. C. Maxwell, writing in 1868, identified the instability of an early gover-
nor design as being due to a positive eigenvalue [6].
The mechanical flyball governor of Watt and Boulton came into wide use during the early
19th century and easily outstripped competing devices, such as the float valve regulator of
French design. Watt's governor is extensively treated in the literature of that era and even some
elementary quantitative analysis is evident in works prior to 1850 [2]. However, the control dy-
namic problems inherent in feedback systems were not recognized until the second half of the
19th century.
The dynamic problems associated with speed governing almost certainly provided the in-
centive for establishing the mathematical theory underlying automatic control. Mayr [2] lists
the earliest contributors to this quantitative theory as G. B. Airy (1840/51), 1. C. Maxwell
(1868), I. I. Vyshnegradskii (1876), E. 1. Routh (1877), A. M. Lyapunov (1892), A. Stodola
(1893/94), and A. Hurwitz (1895). Mostly, these works consisted of attempts to solve the differ-
ential equations by classical methods and did not present a generalized theory of feedback con-
trol. By the end of the 19th century, the dynamic speed control problem had been thoroughly
documented in the technical literature, was presented in textbooks and handbooks, and was
even the subject of historical studies [2]. The treatment in this book is therefore the restatement
of a very old problem, but it is placed in a modem setting and is attacked with the tools of the
control engineer developed in this century.
In a steam or hydraulic turbine-generator system, the governing is accomplished by a
speed transducer, a comparator, and one or more force-stroke amplifiers. Figure 10.1 shows the
system block diagram for a steam turbine generator. The speed governor in the figure is a speed
transducer, the output of which is typically the position (stroke) of a rod that is therefore pro-

portional to speed . This stroke is mechanically compared to a preset reference position to give a
position error proportional to the speed error. The force that controls this position error is small
and must be amplified in both force and stroke. This is the purpose of the two amplifiers labeled
speed relay and servomotor. This same figure also describes a hydraulic turbine control system
if the valve position is changed to a gate position and the steam valve block is considered the
wicket gate and hydro turbine system, including the penstock.
The speed transducer is the heart of the governor system and may be a mechanical, hy-
draulic, or electrical device. It must measure shaft speed and provide an output signal in an ap-
propriate form (position, pressure, or voltage) for comparison against the reference, and the
subsequent amplification of the error. The centrifugal flyball governor has historically been
used for this purpose . Figure 10.2 shows three examples of flyball governors as conceived by
different designers. All three have the same essential components : the flying weights (flyballs),
the restrain ing spring (speeder spring), and a mechanical linkage that changes a shaft or collar
position as the speed changes.
An example ofa hydraulic governor is shown in Figure 10.3 (also see Figure A.27 of Ap-
pendix A). In Figure 10.3, a main oil pump supplies high-pressure hydraulic fluid that flows
through an orifice to the governor oil pump. The amount of governor oil flow is determined by
the pressure produced by the governor oil pump, the output pressure of which is only one-fifth
or so that of the main pump pressure. However, the governor pump pressure varies as the square
of the speed. This controls the pressure downstream from the orifice, which is used to control
the throttle setting through a hydraulic control system .
Speed sensing may also be done electromechanically by coupling a small generator to the
shaft, the output voltage or frequency of which is speed dependent. Examples are given in Ap-
pendixF. Such devices are not widely used for central station speed governors . The newest gov-
ernor designs use high-speed electronic logic to control e1ectrohydraulic force-stroke ampli-
fiers. These e1ectrohydraulic systems have high sensitivity and fast response.
The analysis followed here is based largely on the mechanical flyball governor. This ap-
proach is used because mechanical devices are easy to understand and analyze, and because
they are still widely used. In most cases, similar equations can be derived for other types of
governors. Our motive is not to present any given system as being superior to others but to de-
rive a typical mathematical model that will increase our understanding of the governor as a con-
trol system component and allow us to analyze systems similar to that of Figure 10.1. In writing
the governor equations, it will be convenient to use several of the control system component de-
scriptions and formulas given in Appendix A.

downward spring force Fs acting on the throttle rod. The reference position r is adjusted to cor-
respond to the desired speed.
The total outward force Fe on the two flyballs depends on the mass m, the peripheral veloc-
ity v, the downward force of the spring, and the radial displacement R of the mass m:

Using the familiar relation between peripheral velocity v and shaft angular velocity l/J we

Now, relating the governor speed to the turbine shaft speed through the gear ratio N,

The new governor equation is basically the same as before except the X d coefficient is larg-
er since the hydraulic reaction force is in opposition to the displacement [Fh is subtracted from
the right-hand side of(10.7) since F h produces a reaction in the -Xd direction for an acceleration
in the +xA direction].
The hydraulic piston moves in the +y direction as long as there is a positive x displacement
of the spool valve. From Appendix J, Equation (1.53), we write
KqXd == alYd (10.23)
where Kq is the spool valve volumetric flow per unit of valve displacement and at is the piston
area. Note that the spool valve-piston combination is in fact an integrator since the output y
continues to increase as long as a positive x displacement exists.
Substituting (10.22) into (10.23) and solving for the piston displacement, we have

It is convenient to normalize (10.24) on the basis of the full load rating of the generator.

quantities, with subscript u as follows.

The integrating governor system described by (10.30) is called an isochronous governor
since it attempts to integrate the speed error until the error vanishes . A block diagram of the
isochronous governor is shown in Figure 10.8. Note that the comparator is due to the flyball
governor and the integration is due to the hydraulic servomotor.
as noted in Figure 10.8. The input transfer function A(s) = 1.0 in this problem, so the command
signal U(s) and the reference R(s) are identical.
We now seek a general relationship for the plant transferfunction Gp(s) and the disturbance
function N(s) for a turbine, where the output speed C(s) = w is controlledby the governor.
The flow control valve in Figure 10.7 admits steam (water for a hydro turbine or fuel mix-
ture for a combustion turbine) as a function of valve area, which in tum is a function of the
valve stroke y. Usually, the valve is designed such that valve area is linearly related to stroke
(see Appendix F.7, function generators). The fluid flow rate Wthroughthe valve is proportion-
al to the product of valve area A and fluid pressure P.
W= k'AP = kyP (10.32)
Then the incremental flow can be written as
aw aw
(10.33)
W~=k-Yd+k~P~
ay ar
For the analysis in this chapter we will consider the pressure to be constant such that we
may write
(10.34)
where ky is a positive constant.
The relationship between Wand the developed mechanical torque ky is a direct one since all
working fluid entering the turbine produces torque with no appreciable delay [10-12]. In a
steam turbine, there is a lag associated with the control valve steam chest storage and another
greater lag associated with the reheater (see Chapter 11). There are also lags in hydro turbine
systems (see Chapter 12). For the purpose of this elementary model, we include a simple first-
order lag Ts for the turbinecontrol servomotor system to write
wherewe combine the two constants K, and K; into the singlepositiveconstantK I K I wouldbe
expected to have a normalized value of unity, but is approximately 0.6 in steam turbines due to
valve nonlinearities [11].
Finally, we write the swing equation, from (5.78):
(10.36)
which describes the inertial behavior due to any upset in torque. The term DWd is added to ac-
count for electrical load frequency damping and turbine mechanical damping. Combining the
plant equations (10.35) and (10.36) with the control equations of Figure 10.8, we can construct
the systemblock diagramshown in Figure 10.10.
The steady-state operationof the general control system block diagram of Figure 10.9 can
be evaluated in terms of the steady-state gain of each block [7]. Suppose we define for this pur-
pose the steady-state gain functions

stable for small values of the gain K but will have a sluggish response since two roots are very
near the origin. We conclude that the isochronous governor has a desirable steady-state operat-
ing characteristic, is sluggish in its transient response, and becomes unstable for low values of
gain . Furthermore, it the damping D is zero, the system is unstable.

The governor block diagram is shown in Figure 10.14. Comparing this diagram with Figure

into the amplifier 1/(1 + T}S) by means of mechanical feedback through the summing beam.
Note that T] can be adjusted by changing the ratio aiL.
In order to analyze the performance of the speed droop governor, we interface the system
of Figure 10.14 with a single turbine representation using one-time lag, together with the iner-
tial torque equations derived in the previous section. The result is the system of Figure 10.15.
Note that the integral control of the isochronous case has been replaced by an additional lag in
the control system. We will now examine the steady-state and transient performance of this sys-
tem.

speed is reduced. The manipulated variable for this system is Tm , the mechanical torque applied
to the shaft. In the steady state, we can compute Tmss to be

the Tm-w plane, each with Tmintercept K) and with slope -KtCg . Thus, the steady-state operat-
ing characteristic may be visualized as the family of curves shown in Figure 10.16. Note that,
for each setting of the reference, the steady-state speed is dependent on the shaft load T, and
that the higher loads cause a greater reduction in speed. Also note, from (10.56), that the error
ess is always greater than zero, whereas it was always integrated or reset to zero for the isochro-
nous governor. A positive steady-state error signal is characteristic of a proportional control
system. The characteristic of Figure 10.16 should be carefully compared with the operating
characteristic shown in Figure 10.11 for the isochronous governor.
The transient response of the speed droop governor may be analyzed by plotting the root
locus of the open-loop transfer function (OLTF) :

same as for the isochronous case. In most physical systems, we would expect to find T) < 'Ts ,
with Ts = 2T] being about typical [II]. Thus, the root locus takes the form of Figure 10.17. Com-
pare this,plot with that of Figure 10.11 for the isochronous governor.
Note that the eigenvalues of the speed droop governor have much larger negative real parts
than can be achieved for the isochronous governor. This means that the system can be satisfac-

torily operated at much higher values of 'gain and with improved damping and smaller settling
time. Overall, the performance of the speed droop governor is preferred because of its better
transient response. The improvement in transient response is accomplished by moving the pole
at the origin, for the isochronous governor case, to s = -a = -liT., which is well to the left in
Figure 10.17.
We can analyze the closed-loop governor behavior by writing the closed-loop transfer
function for a given electromagnetic torque, T, as

S2 (a + b + c) (abc + K)
Sl m 0
SO (abc + K) 0
a, b, c> 0

Now 'Ts and H are fixed positive constants. The gain K} is a function of the control valve

ating point. The quantities Rand TI vary with the lever ratio aiL since we define, from (10.47)

Thus, increasing aiL increases R and decreases 'TJ which increases the stability margin.
From Figure 10.13, we note that increasing the ratio aiL moves the flyball connection with the
summing beam to the right. This increases the negative feedback, increases the droop, and re-
duces the governor time constant. In the root locus plot of Figure 10.17, this increase in aiL
moves the pole at s = -a farther to the left.
Finally, we compute the response of the system to a step increase in reference r~ (or a step

system. Still, it would be desirable to have the governor hold nearly constant speed (frequency)
if possible. This is particularly important on isolated systems where only one, or a very few,
machines control the frequency. This need is satisfied by the "compensated governor," which is
a governor with two values of regulation. The principle of operation is to provide a given (rela-
tively large) droop in response to fast load changes. The resulting speed deviation is gradually
removed by slowly correcting the speed back to a second (relatively low) value of droop. Thus,
the larger droop provides stability and the smaller droop provides good speed regulation in the
long term. If the smaller value of droop is zero, the governing is a stable isochronous operation.
The two values of droop are called the "temporary" and "permanent" droops and are both ad-
justable within certain limits. The time required to change from the temporary to the permanent
droop is also adjustable.
These objectives are met in the compensated governor design of Figure 10.20. The me-
chanical feedback provided by the summing beam c-d provides a temporary droop exactly as in
the design of Figure 10.13. The added feedback involves a floating lever system a-b connecting
the speeder rod (x), the pilot valve (u), and a receiving piston of area a3' which is held in its
steady-state position by a spring. As long as the piston location z remains at its steady-state
equilibrium position, the flyweights must also be in their equilibrium position if the pilot valve
is held closed. This means that, following a disturbance, the ballhead would return to the same
position when the receiving piston (z) returns to equilibrium, if there were no permanent droop
through lever c-d. Thus, without lever c-d the compensated governor would act isochronously,
but it would do this in a special way.
Suppose that walking beam c-d were disconnected. Then, an increase in load would
cause the governor to respond to positive displacements in x, u, and y. As piston al moves in
the +y direction, it causes transmitting piston a2 to be displaced downward. Since the hy-
draulic fluid in the chamber connecting pistons a2 and a3 is trapped, this will cause receiving
piston a3 to move upward, pushing against its spring, tending to close the pilot valve. Note,
however, that the hydraulic chamber also contains a needle valve that will allow hydraulic flu-
id to move in or out of the chamber slowly, the speed of entry or escape depending on the nee-
dle valve orifice area. The compressed spring on piston a3 will slowly force this piston down-
ward, increasing the turbine power gradually and restoring the flyweights to their normal
positions. Thus, the governor provides a temporary droop characteristic, but is isochronous in
the long term. This gives the governor both a permanent and a temporary droop characteris-
tic, each of which is adjustable.
To analyze the compensated governor, it is helpful to break the system into subsystems and
write the force and displacement equations for each subsystem. In doing this, it is essential that
the defined positive directions of all variables be used in summing forces or moments.
The first subsystem is the flyball governor system shown in Figure 10.21. Using the meth-
ods developed in previous sections, we can write equations for the forces acting at G and G' as
functions of the displacements x and x', and of the speed to. Thus the force acting at G can be
written as
The second subsystem is the upper summing beam shown in Figure 10.22(a), for which we
write both a displacement and a force equation. For incremental displacements, we can write

The compensator beam of Figure 10.22(c) is nothing but a lever for which we can write the
displacement equation
(10.80)
(10.81)
where Ps is the supply pressure behind the hydraulic ram and a) is the ram area .
The compensator system is shown in Figure 10.23 on an enlarged scale. Here, we write the
equations for the forces acting at Band E as
F B = a3PA -s;,
FE = P
a2 A (10.82)
The equation for the volumetric discharge rate of fluid through the needle valve is
where P A is the incremental pressure change in the chamber in lbf/ft", Cd is the needle valve
constant in ft5/S lbf or in3/s psi, and other quantities are as previously defined.
The final subsystem is the hydraulic piston or ram shownin Figure 10.24. Since the avail-
able force F s is usually much greater than the load F v, and the load mass is small compared to
this force, we write only the integrator equation
( 10.84)
for this subsystem. If load force and mass are important considerations, the complete equations
for the piston should be written (see Appendix E).
This completes the subsystem equations. We now collect the equations necessary to de-
scribe the total system behavior. From (10.75) and (10.76) we compute

The coefficients of (10.96) are determined from full-load and no-load steady-state tests. In

Steam Turbine Prime Movers
11.1 Introduction
We begin this chapter with some general considerations of prime movers and how they are
controlled. Following this general overview of prime movers, we concentrate on steam turbines
and develop models that can be used to represent this type of machine in computer studies of
the power system. Other types of prime movers are discussed in Chapters 12 and 13.
Figure 11.1 shows on overview of a large power system and the generation control struc-
ture. The system control center measures the power produced by all generators and the inter-
change power with neighboring systems. It compares the tie line flows with their scheduled val-
ues, and these flows are coordinated with neighboring utilities. The control center receives
measurements of all generator outputs and compares these values with desired values, which
are based on the economic dispatch of generation considering individual unit generation costs.
Then, as the system load varies, the control center can change the generation dispatch to eco-
nomically meet the demand in the most efficient manner, while still maintaining prudent re-
serves to assure adequate generation if unforeseen unit outages should occur. Note that the con-
trol center does not measure the system loads. The measurement of system frequency is used to
assure adequate total generation to meet load and maintain rated speed, thereby assuring con-
stant long-term system frequency.
The system dispatch computer sets the governor input signal to control the mechanical
torque of the prime mover, computing a unit dispatch signal (UDS), as shown in Figure 11.2.
The governor compares the speed reference or load control signal against the actual speed and
drives the governor servo amplifiers in proportion to this difference, which can be interpreted as
a speed error. The servomotor output is a stroke or position YSM ' which indicates the position of
the turbine control or throttle valves. Note that this control is different on an isolated system,
where the governor input is set to hold constant speed or frequency.
The fast dynamics of the generation of each unit is the solution of Newton's law, which we
write per unit as
(11.1)
where
7j = a time contant related to the unit moment of inertia in seconds
w = shaft angular velocity in radians per second
Tm = the mechanical torque output of the turbine in per unit
T; = the electromagnetic torque or load of the generator in per unit
Ta = the accelerating torque in per unit

The excitation system is used primarily as a voltage controller and acts much as a single-in-
put, single -output system with VI as the output. There exists a cross-coupling to the torque out-
put Te , but this effect is secondary.
The system dispatch computer determines the desired generator output and sets the gover-
nor input signal to control the mechanical torque of the prime mover. The governor compares
the speed reference or governor speed changer (GSC) signal against the actual speed and drives
the servomotor amplifiers in proportion to this difference, which can be interpreted as a speed
error. The servo motor output is a stroke or position YSM' which indicates the position of the tur-
bine control or throttle valves.
Finally , the prime mover term in Figure 11.2 is a transfer function that relates the turbine
control valve position to the mechanical (shaft ) torque . In some cases, this block can be
represented by a constant and in others it may be a simple first-order lag. In general, if
the system is to be studied over a long time period , the turbine should be represented
in greater detail as an energy source transfer function . In some modem thermal units, for ex-
ample , the energy source controller receives feedback signals from several points , including
the generated power (or load control signal) and the turbine throttle pressure, to control si-
multaneously the turbine valve position, the boiler firing rate, and the condensate pumping
rates.

pumping rate, and turbine throttling in order to follow changes in load demand. Such a coordi-
nated control mode is shown in Figure 11.5.
In this type of control, both pressure and generated output are fed back for the control of
both boiler and turbine. In this manner, it is possible to achieve the stable and smooth load
changes of the turbine-following mode and still enjoy the prompt response of the boiler-follow-
ing mode . This is accomplished by making maximum use of the available thermal storage in the
boiler. Both pumping and firing rates are made proportional to the generation error so that these
efforts are stabilized as the load approaches the required value . Pressure deviation is controlled
as a function of both the thermal storage and the generation error.
A comparison of the three control methods described above is shown in Figure 11.6

that could utilize either fossil or nuclear fuel. The term "boiler" is used here to designate any
type of steam generator.
The boiler control inputs are the unit demand signal (UDS), the generated power (P GEN) ,
and the speed or frequency (w). The unit demand signal is set by the system dispatch computer
based on the method of dispatch and on the level of load to be served. The generated power of
the unit is fed back to the control center so that any error in generated power can be corrected,
The unit speed is used by the speed governor as a first-order control on this parameter. The
speed governor acts as a continuous, proportional controller to make fast, automatic adjust-
ments to unit speed in response to a speed error. This mechanism is much faster than the gover-
nor speed changer (GSC) adjustment of the boiler controller. The input from the dispatch com-
puter is optional and is not used when the unit is on local control. In that case, the UDS is hand
set by the plant operator. Note also that the boiler controller can be turbine following (adjusting
firing rate according to desired power), boiler following (adjusting firing rate to hold throttle
pressure), or a completely integrated or coordinated control that does both simultaneously.
The degree of detail required for computer simulation of the power system depends on the
length of time required in the simulation. Studies of system performance of a few seconds, for
example, need consider only those system components with response times of a few seconds,
such as the generator, exciter, and speed governor. Studies of several minutes would usually re-
quire some consideration of the steam generator and steam system controls, and may require
some consideration of the dispatch system. Thus, it is seen that the longer the desired simula-
tion, the more system components that might enter into consideration. For very long periods of
interest, the fastest responding components might be represented in a very simple manner and
may not be required at all.
In transient stability studies of 1-10 seconds duration, it is common to consider the genera-
tor, network, and the steam turbine and turbine controls. If there is interest in extending the
studies to several minutes, then it is probably necessary to add at least a simple boiler model to
the simulation, and it may be necessary to consider the dispatch computer as well. The general
block diagram of Figure 11.8 would be applicable to these longer-duration studies.

the left of the figure are impulse stages, whereas those on the right are reaction stages. In many
turbines, impulse stages are used at the high-pressure, high-temperature end of the turbine and
reaction blading at lower pressures. This is because there is no pressure drop across impulse
stages and hence there is little tendency for the high-pressure steam to leak past these stages
without doing useful work.
As the steam expands in passing through the turbine, its volume increases by hundreds of
times. At the lower pressures, reaction blading is used. Here, the steam expands as it passes
through the blading and its pressure drops. The steam velocity increases as it passes through
fixed blading as shown in Figure 11.10, but it leaves the moving blades at a speed about equal
to the blade speed. The impulse stage nozzle directs the steam into buckets mounted on the rim
of the rotating disk and the steam flow changes to the axial direction as it moves through the ro-
tating disk. In reaction blading, the stationary blades direct the steam into passages between the
moving blades and the pressure drops across both the fixed and moving blades . In impulse blad-
ing, pressure drops only across the nozzle . In the velocity compound stages, steam is discharged
into two reaction stages . The velocity stage uses a large pressure drop to develop a high-speed
steam jet. Fixed blades then tum the partially slowed steam before it enters the second row of
moving blades, where most of the remaining energy is absorbed.
Because of the tremendous increase in the volume of steam as it passes through the turbine,
the radius of the turbine is increased toward the low-pressure end. In many turbines, the steam
flow is divided into two or more sets of low-pressure (reaction) turbines. Figure 10.11 shows
several typical tandem compound configurations and Figure 11.12 shows several typical cross-
compound designs . In some designs, the steam is reheated between stages to create a reheat cy-
cle, as noted in the figures, which increases the overall efficiency. In other designs, a portion of
the steam is exhausted from the various turbine pressure levels to preheat water that is entering
the boiler, which is called a regenerative cycle system .
The various valves that control the turbine operation are shown in Figure 11.12 and will be
discussed in the order encountered by the steam as it moves through the system.
Steam leaves the main steam reheater of the boiler at high pressure and is superheated, in
most cases, to high superheat temperature. For example, a large fossil fuel unit uses superheated
steam at 2400 psi and 1000F for a 1.0 GW unit [15]. A modem 750 MW nuclear design uses
850 psi saturated (0.25 percent moisture) steam [16]. The steam heaters contain steam strainers

to catch any boiler scale that could damage the turbine. A typical steam generator and turbine
system is shown in Figure 11.13 [7].
The main stop valve or throttle valve (#2 in Figure 11.13) is one means of controlling the
steam admitted to the turbine. It is often used as a start-up and shut-down controller. During
startup, for example, other inlet valves may be opened and steam admitted gradually through
the stop valve to slowly bring the turbine up to temperature and increase the turbine speed to
nearly synchronous speed, at which point the governor can assume control of the unit. This
mode of control is known as full-arc admission. The main stop valve is also used to shut off the
steam supply if the unit overspeeds. The unit may be under automatic or manual control, but is
usually controlled automatically through a hydraulic control system. .
A typical example of the several valves controlling a large steam unit is presented in Figure
11.13 [7]. This system is typical of many large steam power plants, having both superheater and
reheater boiler sections and three separate turbines, representing high pressure (HP), intermedi-
ate pressure (IP), and low pressure (LP) units.
The admission or governor valves, also known as control valves (#3 in the figure), are lo-
cated in the turbine steam chest and these valves control the flow of steam to the high-pressure
turbine. In large units there are several of these valves, and the required valve position is deter-
mined by the governor (D in the figure).
An overview of the turbine control for a typical steam power plant is shown in Figure
11.14. Steam is admitted through the main stop valves to a set of control valves and admission
of steam into the high pressure turbine is regulated by a set of nozzles distributed around the pe-
riphery of the first stage of turbine blading. If only a few of the control valves are open, the

steam is said to be admitted under partial arc of the first stage rather than through all 360 de-
grees of the circumference. This is called "partial arc admission."
Two types of overspeed protection are provided on most units. The first is the normal speed
control system, which includes the control valves and the intercept valves. The second type of
overspeed control closes the main and reheat stop valves, and if these valves are closed, the unit
is shut down.
Two types of control valve operation are used. In one type, the control valves are opened by
a set of adjustable cam lifters, as shown in Figure 11.15. In this arrangement, the valves can be
opened in a predetermined sequence as the cam shaft is rotated. In response to a load increase, the
flow ofsteam to one input port may be increased and a closed port may simultaneously be cracked

actingthrougha power servomotor, as shown in Figures 11.13 and 11.14.
The other type of steam admission control is called the "bar lift" mechanism. This type of
valve control is shown in Figure 11.16; each valve in a line of valves is lifted using a bar, but
each valve is a differentlength so that the valves open sequentially. As load is added to the tur-
bine, the bar is raised and steam flow is not only increased to the first-opening valve, but addi-
tional valves are also opened. The separate valves feed steam to different input ports around the
peripheryof the first-stage blading and thus increase the power input to the turbine. The bar lift
is actuatedby the governorservomotorthrough a lever arrangement.

444 Chapter 11
The high-pressure turbine receives steam at high pressure and high temperature, and con-
verts a fractionjofthe thermal energy into mechanical work. As the steam gives up its energy,
it expands and is cooled. Steam is also bled from the turbine and piped to feedwater heaters.
This has proven economical in reducing the boiler size and also reducing the size required at the
low-pressure end of the turbine. The turbine extraction points vary in number from one to about
eight, the exact number being dictated by design and economy.
In the reheat turbines, shown in Figure 11.14, the steam exhausted from the HP (high-pres-
sure) turbine is returned to the boiler in order to increase its thermal energy before it is intro-
duced into the intermediate-pressure (IP) turbine. This reheat steam is usually heated to its ini-
tial temperature, but at a pressure that is somewhat reduced from the HP steam condition.
Following the reheater, the steam encounters two valves before it enters the IP turbine, as
shown in Figures 11.13 and 11.14. One of these is the reheatstop valve and serves the function
of shutting off the steam supply to the IP turbine in the event the unit experiences shut-down,
such as in an overspeed trip operation. The second valve, the interceptvalve, shuts off the steam
to the IP turbine in case of loss of load, in order to prevent overspeeding. It is actuated by the
governor, whereas the reheat stop valve is actuated by the overspeed trip mechanism.
The IP turbine in Figure 11.13 is similar to the HP turbine except that it has longer blades
to permit passage of a greater volume of steam. Extraction points are again provided to bleed
off spent steam to feedwater heaters.
The crossover, identified in Figure 11.14, is a large pipe into which the IP turbine exhausts
its steam. It carries large volumes of low-pressure steam to the low-pressure (LP) turbine(s).
Usually, the LP turbine is double or triple flow as shown in Figures 11.11 and 11.12. Since a
large volume of steam must be controlled at these low pressures, doubling or tripling the paths
available reduces the necessary length of the turbine blades. The LP turbines extract the remain-
ing heat from the steam before exhausting the spent steam to the vacuum of the condenser. It is
desirable to limit condensation taking place within the turbine, as any water droplets that form
there act like tiny steel balls when they collide with the turbine blades, which are traveling at
nearly the speed of sound.
We previously specified that the HP turbine extracts a fractionjofthe thermal power from
the steam. Then the IP and LP turbines extract the remaining 1 - j of the available power to
drive the shaft. Usually,jis on the order of 0.2 to 0.3. For example, in a certain modem 330
MW turbine,fis determined to be 0.24. This is a rather typical value.
Many of the plant controls are hydraulic, using high-pressure oil supplied by a shaft-
mounted main oil pump. These high pressures are practical for the operation of power servomo-
tors for control purposes. For example, many control valves are actuated by hydraulic means. In
modem plants, many systems also use electric controls as well.
The control functions for the turbine include the servomotor-driven control or governing
valves and the intercept valves, which control the amount of steam admitted to the turbine. Po-
sitioning intelligence for these valves comes primarily from the speed governor, the throttle
pressure regulator, or from an auxiliary governor. There is also an interlocking protection be-
tween the control and intercept valves so that the control valves cannot be operated open when
the intercept valves are closed.
The protective controls include the main stop valve (throttle valve) and the reheat stop
valve. The reheat stop valve is always either fully open or fully closed, and is never operated
partially open. The main stop valve may operate partially open when used as a startup control.
Both valves are under control of a device that can rapidly close both valves, shutting down the
turbine on the occurrence of emergency conditions such as overspeed trip, solenoid trip, low-
vacuum trip, low bearing oil trip, thrust bearing trip, or manual trip. During normal operation,
both of these stop valves are completely open.
A primary function of the main stop valve is to shut off the steam flow if the unit speed ex-
ceeds some predetermined ceiling value, such as 110% of the rated value. Steam turbine blading
experiences mechanical vibration or oscillation at certain frequencies. The turbine designer as-
sures that such oscillations occur above or below synchronous speed, with a generous margin of
safety. Also, with the longer blades traveling at nearly the speed of sound, destructive vibration
levels may be reached if the speed is permitted to increase substantially beyond rated speed.
Thus, speed control on loss of load is very important and is a carefully designed control func-
tion. [9].
The operation of a steam turbine on loss of load is approximately as shown in Figure 11.17.
It is assumed that the generator breaker opens at t = 0 when the unit is fully loaded. On loss of
load, the turbine speed rises to about 109% in about one second. As the speed increases, the
control valves and intercept valves are closing at the maximum rate and should be completely
closed by the time the speed reaches 109% of the rated value, at which time the turbine speed
begins to drop. At about 106%, the intercept valves begin to reopen so that a no-load speed of
105% might be achieved. If the speed changer is left at its previous setting, the unit will contin-
ue to run at 105% speed on steam stored in the reheater. There is usually sufficient steam for
one to three minutes of such operation. Once the reheater steam supply is exhausted, the speed
will drop to near 100% and the governor will reopen the control valves.
The definition of what constitutes an emergency overspeed [10] is a figure agreed upon by

turbinemanufacturerand purchaser, but may be in the region of 110to 120%of the rated value.
If the speed reaches this range, an emergency overspeedtrip device operates. Usually the over-
speed trip mechanismdepends on centrifugal force or other physicalmeasurements that are not
dependent on the retention of power supply. Some devices include an eccentric weight or bolt,
mounted in the turbine shaft, with the weight being balanced by a spring. At a predetermined
speed, such as III %, the centrifugal force overcomes the spring force and the bolt moves out
radially far enough to strike a tripper,which operates the overspeedtrip valve.

tion of the two blocks taken together are nearly linear for any given valve. Still, a small non-
linearity exists in the overall transfer function, as shown in Figure 11.18, due to "valve
points," as this phenomenon is known in the industry. This refers to the point at which one
valve, or set of valves, approaches its rated flow and a new valve (or valves) begins to open.

This causes the transferfunction to consistof a series of small curvedarcs, as shown in Figure

Eggenberger [10] points out that R; is often between 0.02 and 0.12 over the range of valve

pute for a typical case

K3 = 0.08 = 0.625 (11.7)
From Figure 11.8, we see that the steam is delayed in reaching the turbines by a bowl delay
T3, expressed in terms of servo stroke and turbine flow parameters as
JLr K3
(11.8)

tions, with specific volume initially of v (Ibm/sec) , or [I 0]

Typical values of T3 are given as 0.05 to 0.4 seconds .
For a straight condensing turbine with no reheat, the torque versus servomotor stroke is
given by (11.8). This situation is illustrated in Figure 11.21 and is accomplished mathematical-
ly by replacing JLr in (11.8) by T . This is equivalent to setting the fractionjoftorque provided
by the HP turbine to unity.
For a reheat turbine , there is a large volume ofsteam between the HP exhaust and the IP in-
let. This introduces an additional delay in the thermal system . From Figure 11.18 with elemen-
tary reduction , we have [10]

wherefis the fraction of the total power that is developed in the high-pressure unit and is usual-
ly between 0.2 and 0.3. The parameter TR is the time constant of the reheater and is defined in a
manner similar to (11.9) or
(ll.ll)
where
VR = volume of reheater and piping, ft3
QRr = full load reheater steam flow, Ibm/sec
V R = average specific volume of steam in the reheater, ft3/lbm
Since the reheat temperature is not constant, computation of TR involves taking averages,
but it is usually in the neighborhood of 3 to II seconds. This long time constant in the reheater
causes a considerable lag in output power change following a change in valve setting. In HP tur-
bines, there may be a delay of up to 0.5 seconds, depending upon control valve location. A
much larger delay occurs in the IP and LP sections, however. This is due to the large amount of
steam downstream of the control valves , and this steam must be moved through the turbines and
reheater before the new condition can be established. These delays are both shown in Figure
11.22, where the control valve is given a hypothetical step change and the power output change
is plotted [10]. A five second value for TR is assumed.
The speed-torque transfer function is given in Figure 11.18 as [10]

The time constant T4 is the total time it would take to accelerate the rotor from standstill to

and this is convenient since it usually turns out to be nearly unity. In terms of this constant,
T4 = 5.98 J sp seconds (11.20)
Actually, as the turbine speed increases, the load torque increases and the loss torque varies
as some power of the speed. Eggenberger [10] shows that this can be accounted for by replacing
the single block in Figure 11.18that relates a to l' by a feedback system wherein a portion of the
speed increase is fed back as a negative torque [10]. However, as the losses are very small, this
is usually neglected.
A set of typical constants for all values shown in Figure 11.18 is given in [10] and is valu-
able for making comparisons of the various system lags under consideration. These constants
are shown in Table 11.4.
Additional insight into the control of the steam turbine system is gained through an evalua-
tion of system performance by the root locus method [12]. Referring to Figure 11.14 and equa-
tions (11.3) through (11.12), we may write the open-loop transfer function as

Considering the range possible for each variable as shown in Table 11.4, we have a range
of pole-zero locations and gains as shown in Table 11.5.
The range of values shown in Table 11.5 has some influence on system behavior, as shown
in Figure 11.23, where poles of a nonreheat turbine are plotted as a band of values rather than as
a point in the s plane. It is obvious that, since the system response depends on these pole loca-
tions, this system may be designed with a wide range of response characteristics. This is espe-
cially true for the valve bowl delay, which may vary from 0.05 to 0.3 seconds [10]. Other com-
ponent values affect the response as well, especially the servomotor pole, which may be quite
close to the origin.
A similar plot for the reheat turbine is shown in Figure 11.24. Here, the four poles due to
the inertia, servomotor, speed relay, and valve bowl are far enough from the origin to be off-
scale for the scale chosen for this figure. This means that the reheater pole and zero will always
be relatively close to the origin and will, therefore, have a great influence on the system dynam-
ic response, even for small disturbances. For large disturbances, the problem is greatly compli-
cated because the reheater should then be treated as a nonlinear model to account for the spatial
distribution of flow and pressure in both reheater and piping.
A convenient method of analyzing steam turbine systems is to use the root locus technique
[12]. Two examples, one for the straight condensing (nonreheat) turbine and one for the reheat
turbine will illustrate the method.

We now recognize the significance of the solution just obtained. Note that, corresponding
to a gain of 937, there are actually four solutions, indicated by the dots on the locus. Two of
these solutions correspond to responses that are very quickly damped out, being located at ap-
proximately -13.5 in the negative-real direction. By comparison, the least damped roots are lo-
cated at
-{Wn = -1.54 (11.34)
and we can neglect the quickly damped solutions with very little error. Thus, our system will re-
spond approximately as a second-order response [14]:
(11.35)
where
k=vT="f
k
cf> = tan-- 1-
{
io.> kio;
u(t) = unit step function
This response is a damped oscillatory response and this is, generally speaking, what we
would like. We would hope to have the damping factor {be fairly large for good damping and
to prevent an overshoot or too long an oscillation. Certainly, ~ ~ 0.2 is desirable as this corre-
sponds to about 50% overshoot (actually 52.6%). In our case, with {= 0.7 there is practically no
overshoot and the system is very well damped. If some oscillation can be tolerated, this system
could be operated at a higher gain. Figure 11.27 shows a typical second-order response for val-
ues of l* of 0.2 and 0.7. Note that when l* = 0.7 there is very little overshoot, but with l* = 0.2 the
overshoot is about 50% (actually 52.6%) and oscillations ring down for almost four seconds. If
some oscillation can be tolerated, this system could be operated at a higher gain.

The block diagram for this new system is shown in Figure 11.28. The root locus plot is
shown in Figure 11.29. From this plot, we observe that for a gain of about 187, the damping ra-
tio is about 0.4, corresponding to an overshoot of about 25%, and the undamped natural fre-
quency is about 0.5 radians per second. Thus the product
-{Wn = - 0.2 (11.38)
is much less than for the straight condensing turbine . Note also, however, that the system gain
could be increased substantially with practically no change in {up to a frequency of about 1.5
or 2.0, which would improve the product by a factor of three or four and the oscillations would
decay much faster as we see from the exponent of (11.35) .
The block diagram of a more detailed dynamic model of a reheat steam turbine system is
shown in Figure 11.30. This more detailed model consists of high-pressure, intermediate-pres-
sure, and low-pressure turbines on a single shaft, driving a generator and excitation system, as
shown in Figure 11.14. The principal dynamic components that effect the time lag of delivered
mechanical power are the speed relay, control valves, steam bowl, the drum, and the feedwater
heaters. In normal operation, the intercept valve is fully open, but the control valve may be only
partially open, depending on the scheduled generation output of the unit. These dynamic com-
ponents are connected in the system diagram of Figure 11.30 by solid lines.

The dashed lines in Figure 11.30 show the connection of an overspeed protection system.
This system will initiate fast turbine control and intercept valve closure in the event of a load re-
jection. The control logic operates by comparing the turbine power, which is determined by
measuring cold reheat pressure, and the generated power, measured by the generator current.
This protection will operate if the difference between these measured power values becomes
greater than a preset value, typically about 40% of full load , and the rate-of-change in generator
current is also greater than a set point value. This provides overspeed protection for the generat-
ing unit that might follow a loss of load.

its open-loop gain changingand possibly oscillating slowly. How these low-frequency oscilla-
tions will affect the overall system behavioris not always clear, but they can hardly be consid-
ered to be beneficial.
The introduction of the once-through boiler in the late 1950salso focused attentionon boil-
er control. This type of boiler, because of its thermal design, requires a more sophisticated con-
trol. This increasedinterestin boiler controlhas affected later designsfor drum-type boilerstoo,
with the result that faster response and more precise controlare being realized.
Traditionally, thecontrolsystemfora boilerhas beenaccomplished by usinganalogdevices,
which respondto an error in a singlevariable. Any response to such an error will, in most cases,
cause errors to appear in other variables. For example, in most boilers,the usual single-variable
controlsare those shownin Table 11.6[15].With this type of system,a step changein any of the
independent variable references or in load will cause a readjustment of all variables, each re-
spondingin its ownway.Thus,a chainreactionof controlled responses follows the changein one
error and may unbalance the systemfor severalminuteswhile all systemsreadjustthemselves.
One alternative to this situation is the use of one multivariate controller [15, 16], so that
several input variables can actuatea numberof actuators simultaneously, as indicated in Figure
11.31. In this kind of control, the outputs x are related to all inputs m by a matrix G(s) in the
equation
x(S) = (;(s)mB(s) (11.39)
Each elementof G(s) may be foundby settingall inputs m to zero except one. The outputx
corresponding to this component of m determines one column of the transfer function G. Re-
peating for other components of m determines G completely. This kind of systemmodel causes
cross couplingbetweenvariables, as shown in Figure 11.31. The size of the off-diagonal terms,
Gij(S), i =I: i, is an indication of the cross coupling that exists in the system. Such controllers
should force the system toward the new steady-state position in a much more optimal manner.
However, the design of a multivariable controller requires the use of an accurate model of the

pressure and flow changes. The configuration of Figure 11.38 is recognized to be a "boiler-
following" control arrangement.
Multivariable controllers have an additional problem not usually present in single variable
controllers-the consistency of results [19]. Thus, in a boiler, an increase in firing rate will al-
ways produce an increase in pressure; an increase in air flow will always decrease boiler pres-
sure; an increase in desuperheat spray will always decrease throttle temperature, and so on.
These are primary or dominant effects and their sign is always the same. Some effects, on the
other hand, are opposing. Thus, an increase in fuel increases steam pressure and this tends to in-
crease steam flow. Increased steam flow tends to decrease temperature, whereas the increase in
fuel input would ordinarily increase temperature. Thus, the exact operating point plus condi-
tions of soot, slag, etc. will effect the response and its direction.

One of the problems in designing an appropriate controller is that of starting with a good
mathematical model of the system. This is especially difficult in boiler systems because of the
difficulty in modeling a distributed parameter system and also because of the nonlinear charac-
ter of steam properties. The equations of the system are those of mass flow and heat transfer in
superheater and reheater tubes, and these equations'are nonlinear partial differential equations
in space and time. The usual approach to the solution of these equations is to break the space
continuum into a series of discrete elements and convert the partial differential equations into
ordinary differential equations in the time domain [18,19]. These equations may be solved by
digital computer. Models of this kind have been studied but are beyond the scope of this book.
The references cited will be helpful to one who wishes to pursue the subject further.
Finally, before leaving the subject of drum-type boiler control we note one type of multi-
variable control that has been used on both drum-type and once-through boilers. This system,
shown in Figure 11.39, is called a "Direct Energy Balance Control System" [21] by its manu-
facturer. This kind of control is designed to perform the following operations:
Figure 11.39 displays the major components of this type of system. Referring to the figure,
the desired unit demand signal (from the automatic load control device), actual unit generation,
main steam pressure, and desired steam pressure are all input quantities to the controller.
Computer outputs are generated to the combustion and governor controllers. Thus, the system
does not simultaneously adjust all possible variables, but it does deal with the primary variables.
Compare Figure 11.39 with Figure 11.38 to see the difference between the two types of controls.
The controller of Figure 11.39 is shown in block diagram form in Figure 11.40. It consists
of two components: the "boiler-turbine governor" and the "unit coordinating assembly." The
boiler-turbine governor produces a "required output" set point that takes into account the capa-

bilities of all components-boiler, turbine, and auxiliaries. It also fixes the rates of change ac-
cording to a preselected setting and provides for emergency runbacks and limits. The unit coor-
dinating assembly coordinates the combustion control with the turbine-governor control. Both
of these blocks are described in greater detail below.
The "boiler-turbine governor" is shown in greater detail in Figure 11.41. When operating
under automatic load control, a signal is received from the load control unit. This fixes the de-
sired generation for this unit. When not on automatic control, a selector switch provides an in-
put signal from a manual setting, properly biased when system frequency is other than normal,
For any size step change in the manual output setter, the unit automatically achieves the new
setting at a preset maximum rate of change, taking limits into account as noted.
The "unit coordinating assembly" is shown in greater detail in Figure 11.42. This unit com-
pares the required output for the unit against the actual unit generation and computes an error
signal from which the governor and fuel-air systems are controlled. At the same time, the mea-
sured pressure is compared against a desired pressure set point and this produces a pressure er-
ror that is used to bias both the governor and fuel-air action, but in opposite directions. This is
because the governor (control) valves and fuel-air systems have opposite effects on pressure; an
increase in governor setting tends to reduce the pressure but an increase in fuel-air setting tends
to increase it. The overall effect of the control is to take appropriate action for changes in both
load and pressure as noted in Table 11.7.
In practice, the control just described may be operated in anyone of the following four
modes. The operator selects the operating mode he wishes to use.
1. Base input control. In this mode, the operator adjusts the boiler inputs and the turbine
governor manually.
2. Base input-turbine follow. In this mode, the governor adjusts the pressure automatically,
as shown in Figure 11.3, and the turbine follows the boiler. The operator runs only the

boiler inputs, either automatically or manually. This mode is often used during startup
and certain unusual operating conditions. It frees the operator from having to watch both
the boiler and the turbine.
3. Direct energy balance automatic control. This mode is the normal operating mode for
this type of control and is the mode for which the system was designed.
4. Automatic control-boilerfollow. This mode is like the "conventional" mode as illustrated
in Figure 11.4, except that use is made of the "required output" signal, which provides
several advantages over conventional boiler-follow control, such as providing frequency
bias, limiting and runback actions, and fixed rates of change. It also couples the governor
and the fuel-air controls to provide an anticipatory boiler signal to accompany governor
changes due to a load change. This "automatic boiler-follow mode" is shown in Figure
11.43.

the pumping rate has a direct bearing on steam output as well as the firing rate and turbine gov-
erning. A simplified flow diagram of a typical once-through boiler is shown in Figure 11.44
[22].
The once-through boiler has a significantly smaller heat storage capacity than a drum-type
boiler of similar rating, since it contains much less fluid. It also costs less, because of the ab-
sence of the drum, and has lower operating costs. It does, however, require a more intelligent
control system.
In operation, the once-through boiler is much like a single long tube with feedwater flow-
ing in one end and superheated steam leaving at the outlet end. A valve at the discharge end can
be used to control the pressure. If the pressure is constant, heat is absorbed by the fluid at a con-
stant rate and the steam temperature is a function of the boiler throughput (pumping rate). The
heat absorbed (Btu/hr) divided by throughput (lbmlhr) gives the enthalpy (Btu/Ibm). Thus, for
steady-state operation, the control must equate flow into and out of the tube, holding steam tem-

perature at the desired value by maintaining the correct ratio of heat input (fuel and air) to
throughput (flow rate). Transient conditions are difficult to control because of the limited heat
storage in the fluid. Thus, when load is increased, the pumping rate must be increased to satisfy
the increased load and provide greater energy storage, and heat input must simultaneously be
increased to match load and the increased storage level [23].

472 Chapter 11
Partly because of the lower storage of the once-through design, the response to sudden load
changes is much faster than that of the drum-type boiler. The time required for water to pass
through the boiler and be converted to superheated steam is only two or three minutes compared
to six to 10 minutes for the drum-type designs [24]. Also, since the pumping rate is directly
coupled to the steam produced, there is little of the "cushioning effect" that exists in drum-type
boiler designs.
Rigorous analysis of the once-through boiler, like the drum-type boiler, is a difficult prob-
lem, but such analysis is necessary if a control system is to be designed accurately. A common
approach is to lump the spatial variation and waste heat transfer equations for each lump. This
method has been used on a supercritical unit for a 191 MW unit in which the analysts divided
the boiler into 14 sections or lumps [25]. Another report describes the use of 36 lumps to de-
scribe a large boiler used to supply a 900 MW generating unit [26].
Having eliminated the spatial parameter by lumping, the resulting ordinary differential
equations are nonlinear. Assuming operation in the neighborhood of a quiescent point results in
a linearized system of equations that may be numerically integrated by known digital tech-
niques. Comparison of such results with field tests have generally been quite good [25, 26].
Another approach to this problem has been pursued [22] in which the boiler is lumped into
30 or so sections and the nonlinear equations for each lump are solved iteratively by digital
computer. This method is more time consuming than the linearized model, but it is also more
accurate for larger excursions from the quiescent point. A flow diagram of the iterative process
is shown in Figure 11.45. The solutions obtained by this process, give the boiler open-loop re-

sponses to step changes in turbine valve position , pump speed, spray flow, and heat flux. These
results have been used in the synthesis of a control philosophy and control hardware, a portion
of which is described below .
The control system of Figure 11.46 is basically the direct energy balance system of Figure
11.39, but shown in block diagram form. This scheme has been used for many once-through
boiler installations. Considering this control scheme , we investigate various innovations that
may improve response.
Referring to Figure 11.46, we examine the significance of combining MW error into the
control scheme . If we let Po be the pressure set point , P.1 the pressure error, MW the megawatt
level, and K v a constant proportional to the valve opening, then, from [11]
MW = KvP = KrJ...Po + P.1)
or
MW - K vP.1 = KvPo (11.48)
This difference is proportional to the load level and is interpreted as the turbine valve open-
ing. The authors of [22] present variations to the basic control scheme of Figure 11.46. Basical-
ly, the problem is to design an adaptive control system that has the ability to alter its control pa-
rameters to satisfy the changing, nonlinear needs of the system at various load levels and to do
this in the shortest possible time .

Boiler control, on the other hand, involves the analysis of system performance over many
minutes and analysis of various subsystems within the control hierarchy. These large detailed
models are too detailed and too cumbersome for power system stability analysis; not that they
are incorrect, but they simply are far too detailed. Their inclusion would greatly retard the so-
lution time and the added complexity is unwarranted. However, it is also not correct to as-
sume that the boiler is an "infinite bus" of steam supply under all conditions. Clearly, what is
needed for stability analysis is a low-order model that will correctly represent the steam-sup-
ply system for up to 10 to 20 seconds. The stability analyst is not concerned with the many
control loops within the boiler, but only the essential steam supply and pressure at the throt-
tle valve.
This problem has been investigated for many years and is well documented in the literature
[26-37]. The IEEE Power Engineering Society has been particularly active in documenting ap-
propriate model structures and data for proper representation and two excellent reports have
been issued as a result of these efforts [29, 37]. These reports focus especially on the dynamics
of prime movers and energy supply systems in response to power system disturbances such as
faults, loss of generation or loads, and system separations. Figure 11.47 shows the elements of
the prime mover control model that was developed by the IEEE working group.
The mechanical shaft power is the primary variable of interest as it drives the generator.
This variable is directly affected by the turbine control valve (CV) and intercept valve (IV), both
of which admit steam to the turbine sections. Steam flow through these valves is, in tum, affect-
ed by throttle pressure, labeled PT in the figure. This pressure is directly affected by the boiler
performance. Models of these system components are needed in order to provide an adequate
dynamic model of the mechanical system.
The relationship between the prime mover system and the complete power system are
shown in Figure 11.48, where the boiler-turbine system is shown within the dashed lines. This
diagram is instructive as it links the boiler-turbine systems to the controlled turbine-generator
system and the external power system. It is a complex nonlinear system.
There are several types of turbine systems of interest in a power system study. These
generic models are described in [37]. Later, improved models of a steam turbine system, in-
cluding the effects of the intercept valve, have been developed and are shown in a general
way in Figure 11.48 [38], which shows how the boiler and turbine models are linked to other
power system variables and controllers. The prime mover energy supply system is shown in-
side the dashed box in Figure 11.48. We can see that the prime mover responds to commands

for generation changes from the automatic generation control system, or from manual com-
mands issued by the control center. The turbine-boiler control also responds to changes in
speed . The resulting mechanical power responds to changes in main steam pressure and tur-
bine valve positions . The output variable of primary interest is the unit mechanical power that
acts on the turbine inertia to accelerate or decelerate the inertia in accordance with Newton's
law.
A more detailed model of a generic turbine model is shown in Figure 11.49. The effect of
intercept valve operation is that portion of the figure within the dashed box , where the intercept
valve opening or area is represented by the "IV" notation. The control valve position is shown
as "CV" in this figure . In many cases, these effects are modeled linearly as a first-order lag.
This model is believed to be more accurate as it accounts for the valve limits .
The steam turbine speed and load controls are of two types. The older units operated under
a mechanical-hydraulic control system . A generic model of this type of control system is shown
in Figure 11.50. The manufacturers of speed-governing equipment have their own special mod-
els for speed governors of their design , and these manufacturers should be consulted to deter-
mine the best way to model their equipment. These experts can also provide appropriate numer-
ical data for the model parameters.
In some studies it is also desirable to provide a model of the boiler. This is true of studies
that extend the simulation time for long periods where boiler pressure may not be considered
constant. An appropriate low-order boiler model has also been recommended by the IEEE com-
mittee responsible for the above speed -governing system model. This boiler model is shown in

Figure 11.51 and features a lumped volume storage of steam at an internal pressure labeled here
as drum pressure, in series with a superheater, and with steam leads and their associated friction
pressure drops. The energy input to the boiler represents heat released by the furnace. This heat
generates steam in the boiler waterwalls at a mass flow rate of : (note carefully the dot over
the m, representing a derivative with respect to time, or a rate of mass flow). The steam genera-
tion process is a distributed one and this is approximated in the model by two lumped storage
volumes for the drum, CD and the superheater, CSlJ connected through an orifice representing
the friction pressure drop through the superheater and piping .
The major reservoir for energy storage is in the waterwalls and the drum, both of which
contain saturated steam and water . In once-thru boilers, the major storage is in the transition re-
gion. The output of the model is the steam flow rate to the high pressure turbine.

There are several distinct types of nuclear steam supply systems that have been designed
and put into service in power systems. The major systems in use are the following :
In the PWR, the reactor is cooled by water under high pressure . The high-pressure water is
piped to heat exchangers where steam is produced . In the BWR, the water coolant is permitted
to boil and the resulting steam is sent directly to the turbine.
In Europe, gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactors have been developed . In these reactors,
the heat generated in fuel assemblies is removed by carbon dioxide, which is used to produce
steam that is carried to steam generators.
The CANDU reactors have been developed in Canada. These reactors use heavy water un-
der pressure and utilize natural uranium as a fuel.
Our treatment will focus on the BWR and PWR types, since they are so common in the
United States .

Hydraulic Turbine Prime Movers
12.1 Introduction
The generation of hydroelectric power is accomplished by means of hydraulic turbines that
are directly connected to synchronous generators. Four types of turbines or water wheels are in
common use. The three most common are the impulse or Pelton turbine, the reaction or Francis
turbine, and the propeller or Kaplan turbine. A fourth and more recent development is the Deri-
az turbine, which combines some of the best features of the Kaplan and Francis designs. All of
these types make use of the energy stored in water that is elevated above the turbine. Water to
power the turbines is directed to the turbine blading through a large pipe or penstock and is then
discharged into the stream or tailrace below the turbine. The type of turbine used at a given lo-
cation is based on the site characteristics and on the head or elevation of the stored water above
the turbine elevation.

shown in Figure 12.2(b). Thus, the governor of an impulse wheel will control the nozzle for
normal changes, but must recognize a load rejection by quickly moving the jet deflector.
In an impulse turbine, the total drop in pressure of the water occurs at the stationary nozzle
and there is no change in pressure as the water strikes the bucket. All of the energy input to the
shaft is in the form of kinetic energy of the water, and this energy is transformed into the me-
chanical work of driving the shaft or is dissipated in fluid friction . Ideally then, the water veloc-
ity is reduced to zero after it strikes the turbine buckets. Actually, a small kinetic energy re-
mains and is lost as the deflected water is directed downward to the exit passageway.
The power available at the nozzle is given by the formula
p == WHQ hp (12.1 )
n 550
where
P; == power availble at the nozzle, hp
W == weight of one cubic foot of water == 62.4 lbm/ft'
Q == quantity of water, ft 3/s
H == static or total head, ft
Recall that 550 lbm/s is equal to one horsepower.
If 1Jt is the turbine efficiency, the shaft power may be written as
p == HQ1Jt h (12.2)
s 8.8 P
where the maximum efficiency is usually 80 to 90% [1]. The quantity of water depends on the
water velocity, the head, and a nozzle coefficient. It is also restricted by the mean river or
stream flow, which is dictated by nature. For a given design, we can compute
Q ==AVft3/s (12.3)
where
A == jet area, ft2
V == jet velocity, ft/s
Then
V == C V2iii ft/s (12.4)
where
g == 32.2 ft/s?
h == net head at nozzle entrance, ft
C == nozzle coefficient, usually = 0.98
If we assume that
h =kH
for a given situation, where k is a constant, then we may write
Ps == k1H 3/2 (12.5)
ing pressure against these movable vanes and causing the runner to tum. The generator is usual-
ly directly connected to the runner shaft as shown in Figure 12.3.
Reaction turbines are classed as radial flow, axial flow, or mixed flow according to the di-
rection of water flow. In radial flow, the water flows perpendicular to the shaft. In axial flow the
stationary vanes direct the water to flow parallel to the shaft . Mixed flow is a combination of ra-
dial and axial flow.
Reaction turbines are installed either in a horizontal or vertical shaft arrangement, with the
vertical turbines being the most common. It is a versatile design, being applicable to installa-
tions with heads as high as 800 feet (244 m) and as low as about 20 feet (= 6 m).
The control for a reaction turbine is in the form of movable guide vanes called wicket gates
through which the water flows before reaching the runner . Positioning these vanes can cause the
water to have a tangential velocity component as it enters the runner. For one such position,
usually at 80 to 90% of wide open, the runner will operate at maximum efficiency. At any other
wicket gate setting, a portion of the energy is lost due to less efficient angling of the water
streamline. Although the wicket gates are close-fitting, they usually leak when fully closed and
subject to full penstock pressure . Thus, a large butterfly valve is often installed just ahead ofthe
turbine case for use as a shut-down valve .
The draft tube is an integral and important part of the reaction turbine design. It serves two
purposes. It allows the turbine runner to be set above the tailwater level and it reduces the dis-
charge velocity, thereby reducing the kinetic energy losses at discharge. The large tube with the
90 bend just below the runner in Figure 12.3 is the draft tube.
The importance of the draft tube is evident when the energy of water leaving the runner is
considered. In some designs, this energy may be as high as 50% of the total available energy .
Without the draft tube, this kinetic energy would be lost. With the draft tube constructed air-tight,
however, a partial vacuum is formed due to the fast-moving water. This low pressure tends to in-
crease the pressure drop across the turbine blading and increase the overall efficiency.
One of the important empirical formulas used in waterwheel design is the specific speed
formula.
Ns =
NYPs
IF/ rpm (12.6)
4
Tail
Water
where
N = speed in rpm
H = head in feet
p s = shaft power in hp
This quantity is the speed at which a model turbine would operate with a runner designed
for one horsepower and at a head of one foot. It serves to classify turbines as to the type appli-
cable for a certain location. As a general guide, then, we say that the specific speeds given in
Table 12.1 are applicable.
Under this classification, an impulse turbine is a low-speed , low-capacity (in water vol-
ume) turbine and the reaction turbine is a high-speed, high-capacity turbine. The same formulas
(12.1) to (12.5) used in conjunction with the impulse turbine also apply for the reaction turbine.
For (12.4), the value of C is about 0.6 to 0.8 and this value usually decreases for turbines with
higher values of Ns.
The control of a reaction turbine is through the movable wicket gates. These are deflected
simultaneously by rotating a large "shifting ring" to which each gate is attached. The force re-
quired to move this assembly is very large and two servomotors are often used to rotate the ring,
as shown in Figure 12.4.

The machine shown in Figure 12.4 is one of the generators at the Grand Coulee Dam Pow-
erhouse in Washington State. It shows the wheel pit of a 165,000 horsepower turbine generator.
The two rods are connected to power servomotors and operate to rotate the shifting ring, there-
by changing the wicket gate position of all gates.
A second control device used in reaction turbines is a large bypass valve, which is actuated
by the shifting ring. If load is rejected and the wicket gates are dri yen closed very quickly by the
governor servomotor, the pressure regulator is caused to open and does so very rapidly. This
prevents the large momentum of penstock water from hammering against the closed wicket
gates. The pressure regulator then closes slowly to bring the water gradually to rest.

of pipe, called the conduit, is necessary to move the water to a point where it begins a steep de-
scent through the penstock to the turbine. As the water flows through this conduit and penstock
at a steady rate, a head loss develops , similar to the voltage drop in a nonlinear resistor. The hy-
draulic gradient in Figure 12.8 represents the approximate profile of the head, measured in feet,
as a function of distance from forebay to turbine. Under steady-flow conditions, this head loss at
the turbine is
he = H - h = kQ" (12.7)
where
hL = head loss, feet
H = static head, feet
h = effective head at the turbine , feet
k = a constant corresponding to pipe resistance

Thus, when the flow is steady, the head loss will be directly proportional to the length of
pipe, as indicated in the figure.
One of the serious problems associated with penstock design and operation is that of water
hammer. Water hammer is defined as the change in pressure, above or below normal pressure,
caused by sudden changes in the rate of water flow [6]. Thus, following a sudden change in
load, the governor will react by opening or closing the wicket gates. This causes a pressure
wave to travel along the penstock , possibly subjecting the pipe walls to great stresses. Creager
[6] gives a graphic example of this phenomena as shown in Figure 12.9. Suppose the load on
the turbine is dropped suddenly. The turbine-governor reacts to this change by quickly moving
the wicket gates toward the closed position and, because of the momentum built up by the pen-
stock water, the hydraulic gradient to changes from the normal full load gradient A-C, to the
positive water-hammer gradient, A- D. This supernormal pressure is not stable, and once the
wicket gate movement stops, gradient A-D swings to A-E and oscillates back and forth until
damped by friction to a new steady-state position.

A sudden increase in load, accompanied by wicket gate opening has just the opposite ef-
fect. Thus, not only must the penstock be well reinforced near the turbine , but it must be able to
withstand these shock waves all along its length.
Examining this phenomenon more closely, reveals that it is much like the distributed para-
meter transmission line. The (closing) wicket gate can be thought of as a series of small step
changes in gate position. Each step change causes a positive pressure wave to travel up the pen-
stock to the forebay and, upon reaching this "open circuit," it is reflected back as a negative

pressure wave of almost the same magnitude. The time of one "round trip" of this wave is called
the critical time, p" which is defined as
2L
p, = - seconds (12 .8)

where
L = length of penstock, feet
a = pressure wave velocity, ftls
For steep pipes, the wave velocity is approximately
4675
a = 1 + (d/IOOe) ft/s (12 .9)
where
d = pipe diameter, inches
e = pipe wall thickness, inches
Pressure wave velocities of 2000 to 4000 feet per second are not uncommon.
The change in head due to water hammer produced by a step change in velocity has been
shown to be [6]
(12.10)
where
h6, = change in head, feet
V6, = change in velocity, ftls
g = acceleration of grav ity, ft/s?
and a is the pressure wave velocity as previously defined. Equation 12.10 is the fundamental
equation for water hammer studies. Note that to keep water hammer to a low value, V6, must be
494 Chapter 12
kept small either by using a pressure regulator or by introducing intentional time lag in the gov-
ernor. The introduction of time lags are particularly troublesome for interconnected operation as
this contributes to tie-line oscillation [7].
Usually, the time for closure ofthe wicket gates of a hydraulic turbine is much greater than
JL of equation (12.8). Suppose, however, that the gate is opened by only a small amount, such
that it can be closed in a time JL. In such a case, the pressure rise can be greater than that due to
closure from full gate to zero. For this reason, JL is usually considered the critical governor time.
From the above, we see that water hammer, both positive and negative, can be a serious
problem in penstock design. It may require that penstocks be built with much greater strength
than would ordinarily be necessary. It may also cause violent pressure oscillations, which can
interfere with turbine operation. The pressure regulator is helpful in controlling positive water
hammer as it provides relief for the pressure buildup due to closing of the gates. However, it is
of no help in combating negative water hammer.
A device often used to relieve the problems of both positive and'negative water hammer is
the surge tank, a large tank usually located between the conduit and penstock, as shown in Fig-
ure 12.10. To be most effective, the surge tank should be as close to the turbine as possible but,
since it must also be high enough to withstand positive water hammer gradients without over-
flowing, it is often placed at the top of the steep-descent portion of the penstock, as shown in the
figure. Sometimes an "equalizing reservoir" is constructed to serve as a surge tank for large in-
stallations and may actually be cheaper and more beneficial. This is due to the general rule that
the larger the tank area, the smaller the pressure variation [6].
Surge tank dimensions are important. The tank must be high enough so that in no case is air
drawn into the penstock. Letting y denote the maximum surge up or down in feet (measured
from the reservoir level for starting, from a distance below this equal to the friction head for
stopping) we have [5]

The factor F in (12.10) is important since it represents the friction that eventually damps
out oscillations following a sudden change . Since damping is desirable, it is sometimes advanta-
geous to add hydraulic resistance at the surge tank opening to produce a choking effect. This is
done in two ways: by placing a restricted orifice between the tank and the penstock, or by con-
structing a "differential surge tank ." The differential surge tank, shown in Figure 12.11, consists
of two concentric tanks : an inside riser tank of about the same diameter as the penstock and an
outer or surge tank of larger diameter with a restricted passage connecting it to the penstock.
Because of this restriction, the water level in the outer tank is independent of the accelerating
head and the head acting on the turbine. These heads are determined by water in the riser tank,
which acts like a simpler surge tank with small diameter. The diameter of the differential surge
tank is about one-half that of a simple surge tank . The riser diameter is usually the same as that
of the penstock.
The damping effect due to the added friction of the differential surge tank is shown in Fig-
ure 12.12, where the surge is compared for two types of tank design [6]. Note the relatively long
period (about 300 seconds , or five minutes) of the surge. This surge would be due to a sudden
increase in load, where the turbine wicket gates are opened at time t = O. Note that an accelerat-
ing head is created , which increases steadily for about 80 to 85 seconds , at which time the flow

of water from that tank ceases. In the differential tank, the accelerating head is established very
fast, but not so fast as to prevent the governor from keeping up with the change .
In the discussion of a technical paper [8], deMello suggests a lumped parameter electric
analog of the hydraulic system, including conduit, surge tank, penstock, and turbine [9]. Figure
12.13 shows this analog, where head is analogous to voltage, volumetric flow is analogous to
current, and the turbine is represented by the variable conductance, G.
With water being considered incompressible, the inertia of water in the penstock and con-
duit are represented by inductances L) and L 2 , respectively (series resistance could be added to
represent hydraulic resistance) . If the effect of water wheel speed on flow is neglected, the tur-
bine can be simulated by G or Gt:., where a change in gate setting is under consideration. The
surge tank behaves much like a capacitor as it tends to store water (charge) and release it when
the head (voltage) at the turbine falls. (How could a differential surge tank be represented?)

and write new equations in terms of the d-quantities, the new equations will be identically the

This equation is especially interesting since it indicates that the relationship between surge
tank head, ht, and penstock flow rate, qp, depends only on the conduit and surge-riser tank char-
acteristics and not on the characteristics of any component following the surge tank. In other
words , the hydraulic system up to the penstock is completely described by (12.66) .

it depends only on the characteristicsof the penstock, surge-riser tanks, and conduit, and not on
the turbine characteristics as determined by partial derivatives in (12.63) and (12.64), nor on the
turbine inertia as given by (12.71).

In block diagram notation, we can express the hydraulic system as shown in Figure 12.16.

however, lump these characteristics and use only (12.78) and Figure 12.16(b).
enburger and Donelson, as presented in [8]. These approximations are not only those devised by
experienced engineers, but tested extensively to prove their validity.
The first approximation noted is that concerning the hydraulic resistance. It is noted that,
although present in F., F 3, and all other factors (note cPc and cPp ) , the error in neglecting
the hydraulic resistance term is negligible. Thus, the resistance head-loss term we so careful-
ly added in equation (12.56) is not needed in the small-disturbance case. We will not bother
to remove the cP term in all expressions, but note that little error would result from doing
so.
One possible simplification is that of neglecting the conduit portion of the hydraulic system
and assume that the surge tank isolates the conduit from the penstock. Thus, in equation (12.62)
we set the conduit flow to zero, i.e., cPc == O. This says that the water flow in the conduit does not
change and the conduit is essentially closed. Under this condition, from (12.64) and (12.65) we
have

Both this assumption and the assumption on the isolation of the conduit (12.79) have been

We now examine certain approximations suggested by Oldenburger and Donelson [8],
which provide several degrees of simplification.

Combustion Turbine and
Combined-Cycle Power Plants
13.1 Introduction
Two additional types of generating unit prime movers that are growing in importance are
the combustion turbine and combined-cycle units. Combustion turbine units were once consid-
ered as generating additions that could be constructed quickly and were reliable units for rapid
start duty. The early units were not large, limited to-about 10 MVA, but later units have become
available in larger sizes and, in some cases, may be considered a reasonable alternative to steam
turbine generating units.
A more recent addition to the available types of generating units is the combined-cycle
power plant, in which the prime mover duty is divided between a gas or combustion turbine and
a heat recovery steam turbine, with each turbine powering its own generator. The dynamic re-
sponse of combined-cycle power plants is different from that of conventional steam turbine
units and they must be studied carefully in order to understand the dynamic performance of
these generating units.

514 Chapter 13
Combustion turbines can be provided in either one- or two-shaft designs. In the two-shaft
design, the second shaft drives a low-pressure turbine that requires a lower speed. However, in
practice the single-shaft design is the most common [1].
The combustion turbine model presented here represents the power response of a single-
shaft combustion turbine generating unit [2]. The model is intended for the study of power
system disturbances lasting up to a few minutes. The generator may be on a separate shaft, in
some cases connected to the turbine shaft through a gear train. The model is intended to be
valid over a frequency range of about 57 to 63 Hz and for voltage deviations from 50 to 1200/0
of rated voltage. These ranges are considered to be typical of frequency and voltage deviations
likely to occur during a major system disturbance. It is assumed that the model is to be used
in a computer simulation in which, to obtain economical computer execution times, the time-
step of the model might be one second or longer. The model is a rather simple one, but it
should be adequate for most studies since the combustion turbine responds rapidly for most
disturbances.
Figure 13.1 shows a simple schematic diagram of a single-shaft combustion turbine-gener-
ator system with its controls and significant auxiliaries [2]. The axial-flow compressor (C) and
the generator are driven by a turbine (T). Air enters the compressor at point 1 and the combus-
tion system at point 2. Hot gases enter the turbine at point 3 and are exhausted to the atmosphere
at point 4. The control system develops and sends a fuel demand signal to the main turbine fuel
system, which in tum, regulates fuel flow to the burner, based on the unit set point, the speed,
load, and exhaust temperature inputs. Auxiliaries that could reduce unit power capability are the

gas turbine at the required pressure, temperature, and flow rate.

According to (13.1), the turbine will provide 1.0 per-unit power at a reference ambient tem-
perature of IS C. The power limit is increased for temperatures below the reference and is de-
creased for ambient temperatures above the reference.
The lower power limit corresponds approximately to the minimum fuel flow limit. This
limit is necessary to prevent the blowing out of the flame and corresponds to zero electric pow-
er generated. There are three different off-nominal voltage and frequency effects. These are de-
fined in the next section.
Figure 13.3 shows the approximate computed response of a General Electric FS-5, Model
N, single-shaft combustion turbine in response to a step change in setpoint from no load to full
load, using liquid fuel [3] . The analytical model used to compute this response included the ef-
fects of the controls, the transport times, heat soak effect of turbine components in the hot gas
path, and the thermocouple time constants. The turbine response will vary by several tenths of a
second for other models or when using other fuels. Notice the fast response characteristic of the
unit to its new power level.

bine contains a significant amount of sensible heat and a portion of this heat is recovered in a
steam generator, which in tum provides the working fluid for the steam turbine .
Many combined-cycle power plants are more complex than that shown in Figure 13.5,
which shows only the basic components. More practical systems are described below, but all
systems can be conceptually reduced to the configuration of Figure 13.5.
Figure 13.6 shows the schematic diagram for a combined-cycle power plant with a heat re-
covery boiler (HRG) [1]. In some designs, the steam turbine may have a lower rating than the
gas turbine . In some large-system designs, supplementary firing is used, which may cause the
steam turbine to achieve a rating greater than that of the gas turbine. Moreover, there may be
more than one HRG, which could significantly increase the steam supply and therefore the
power production of the steam subsystem.
A descriptive technical paper on combined-cycle power plants has been prepared by the
IEEE Working Group on Prime Mover and Energy Supply Models for System Dynamic Perfor-
mance Studies [6]. Their detailed model of the combined-cycle unit is shown in Figure 13.7.
Figure 13.8 shows the interactions among the subsystems of the combined-cycle system
[6], and identifies the input and output variables of each subsystem and the coupling among
these submodels . This structure is convenient for mathematical modeling of the combined-cycle
power plant, which is described in greater detail below .
The speed and load controls are described in block diagram form in Figure 13.9. The inputs
are the load = \demand, VL> and the speed deviation, AN. The output is the fuel demand signal, F D'

We also define the following

Then the per-unit flow required to produce a specified power generation at the given gas
turbine inlet temperature r:r is given by the turbine power balance equation

(13.7)
The combustor pressure drop, specific heat changes, and the detailed treatment of cooling
flows have been deleted for purposes of illustration of the general unit behavior. These perfor-
mance effects have been incorporated into equivalent compressor and turbine efficiency values
[6].
Equations (13.7) and (13.8) determine the air flow Wand pressure ratio parameter X for a
given per-unit generated power in kW, and at a specified per-unit ambient temperature T; The
reference exhaust temperature TR is given by (13.6) by setting 1j.= 1.0. The air flow must be
subject to the control range limits.
The block identified as A in Figure 13.10 represents the computation of the desired air flow
WD and the reference exhaust temperature over the design range of air flow variation by means
of vane control. Desired values of WD and TR are functions of FD (the desired values of turbine
output from speed/load controls) and ambient temperature T; These are determined by the solu-
tion of (13.7) and (13.8) with appropriate limits on WD and TR . The vane control response is
modeled with a time constant TR and with nonwindup limits corresponding to the vane control
range. The actual air flow WA is shown as a product of desired air flow and shaft speed. The ref-
erence exhaust temperature TR is given by (13.6) with Tfset equal to unity.
524 Chapter 13
The measured exhaust temperature TE is compared with the limiting value TR and the error
acts on the temperature controller. Normally, T is less than TR, which causes the temperature
controller to be at the maximum limit of about 1.1 per unit. If TE should exceed TR, the con-
troller will come off limit and integrate to the point where the its output takes over as the de-
mand signal for fuel Vee through the low-select (LS) block. The fuel valve positioner and the
fuel control are represented as given in [7], giving a fuel flow signal Wfas another input to the
gas turbine model.

where AE1f P and AELP are the steam actual available energies [6]. The dynamic relations for the
HRSG and steam turbine are shown in Figure 13.13. Note that the heat transferred from the high
pressure boiler QGI is a function of the exhaust gas temperature TE , the HP evaporator metal
temperature TMI' and the IP evaporator metal temperature TM2'
It is noted in reference [6] that the total contribution to mechanical power from the two
pressure boilers can be approximated with a simple two-time constant model. The gain between
the gas turbine exhaust energy and the steam turbine output will, in general, be a nonlinear func-
tion that can be derived from steady-state measurements through the load range, or from design
heat balance calculations for rated and partial load conditions. These simplifications will result
in a low-order model as shown in Figure 13.14 [6]. Such a low-order model would be very sim-
ple to implement in a computer simulation, and may be quite satisfactory for may types of stud-
ies, especially studies in which the major disturbance of interest is far removed from the com-
bined cycle power plant. Moreover, this simple model could be "tuned" by comparing it against
the more detailed model of Figure 13.13. The detailed model should be considered for studies of
disturbances in the vicinity of the combined-cycle plant.
From [6] the values of the time constants for this simrlified model are given as
TM = 5 S
TB = 20 s
Problems
13.1 The combustion turbine presented in Figure 13.1 is a single-shaft design. Other combus-
tion turbines are designed to employ two different shafts. Sketch how such a two-shaft
unit might be configured and compare with the single-shaft design. What are the advan-
tages of a two-shaft design? Hint: Consult the references at the end of the chapter, if
needed.
13.2 The single-shaft combustion turbine shown in Figure 13.1 is called a "direct open cycle"
design since it exhausts its hot exhaust to the atmosphere. A different design is called a
"closed-cycle" system, which recycles the exhaust back to the air input port. Make a
sketch of how such a closed-cycle system might be configured.
13.3 It has been noted that the ideal cycle for the gas turbine is the Brayton cycle. Explore this
cycle using appropriate references on thermodynamic cycles and sketch both the P-V and
the T-S diagrams for this cycle.

and these relationships are readily verified by examining the Wheatstone bridge equivalent of

Finally, we note that the pressure drop across the load is given by
(J.4)
These four equations, 1.1-1.4, with appropriate simplifications, must be solved simultane-
ously to give QL as a function of x and Pu i.e., QL = QL(X, PL).
The first simplification is to assume matched symmetrical valve orifices:
Matched: A) = A)
A z = A4 (J.5)

Usually, we assume that orifice area varies linearly with valve stroke so that only one

which is a force normal to the plane of the vena contracta. The force normal to the spool is giv-
en by
Fs = Flcos () = 2CeC~O(P2 - PI) cos () (1.25)
Using (J.l5) to express Ao as a linear function of x, we write, for small x
~=~~ ~~
This is a steady-state (Bernoulli) force that always acts in a direction to close the orifice, or
in the -x direction in Figure 1.3.
The transient flow force is derived by considering the forces produced by accelerating the
element of fluid shown in Figure J.3 in reacting with the face area of the spool. If the fluid ele-
ment is accelerated in the direction of flow, the pressure on the left must exceed that on the
right, or the pressure at face a exceeds that at face b. The direction of this force tends to close
the valve. The magnitude is given by
Hydraulic Servomotors 645
Using QI from (1.20) with the area expressed as a linear function of x, we compute
(1.28)
where P A = PI - P2 Merritt [1] observes that the first term on the right side of (1.28) is the more
significant as it represents a damping term. The second term is usually neglected. The quantity
L is called the damping length and is the axial length of fluid between incoming and outgoing
flows.
In power system control analysis, it is customary to ignore the transient force (J.28). This is
simply in recognition of the fact that the valve transient period is very short compared to the
load transient period.
~~
Supply Return
drops exist across the valves, that the valves have equal coefficients, and that the supply pres-
sure, P s, is constant. Then, from (J.18), for small deviations,
(J.29)
where P L == PI - P2 is the pressure drop across the load or across the piston.
We can also write a continuity equation for the weight flow rate in and out of the contained
volume. If we consider a contained volume V of mass m and density p, we can write the conti-
nuity equation
dm
I Win - I Wout = Wstored = g"dt (J.30)
where
W = weight flow rate, lbf/s?
g = acceleration of gravity, ft/s?
p == density, lbm/ft" (or lbf-svft")
v = volume, ft3
From (J.30) we can write
dV dp
IWin-IWout=gpdi +gVdi (1.31)
where
VJ == total volume of forward chamber including valve, connecting line, and piston volume, ft3
V2 = total volume of return chamber, ft3
C ip == internal cross port leakage coefficient of piston, ft5ls-1bf
Cep = extemalleakage coefficient of piston, ft 5ls-lbf
Hydraulic Servomotors 647
Now, let
VI = VOl +ApY
V2 = V02 + ApY (J.37)
where
Ap = piston area, ft2
VOl, V02 = initial volumes, ft3
and assume that [1]
VOl = V02 == Vo (J.38)
Also note that the total volume, Vt, is constant, i.e.,
Vt = VI + V2 = 2Vo (J.39)
Taking derivatives of (J.37) and substituting into (J.36) we get
dy VI ar,
QI - Cip(P t - P2) - Ce,JJt = Apdi + f3e dt
dy V2 dP2

Using (J.ll), we can show that the last term on the right side of (J.40) is zero. Also, using

We now apply Newton's law to the forces acting on the piston to write
Mty = -Ky - BpY -FL + A,JJL (1.44)
where
M( = total mass of piston and load, lbf-svft
Bp = viscous damping coefficient of piston and load, lbf-s/ft
K = spring constant, lbf/ft
F L = load force, lbf
In summary, then, we have three equations that describe the servomotor behavior. In the s-
domain, these equations are

Equation (J.45) can be arranged in the block diagram form shown in Figure J.5.
In most applications, the spring force is missing and K = O. This changes the form of (J.46)

Note that (J.48) has a pure integration, which is not present in the system (J.46) where the
spring was included. The block diagram for this system is the same as Figure J.6, but with K = O.
In some systems, the mass M, of the piston and load is negligible, i.e., the time constant is
small, or

Fig. J.6 Servomotor with negligible load mass and small lag time constant.
When this assumption holds, the output transfer function in Figure 1.5 becomes simply an
integration. If we also assume that time constant 'T is small , the system reduces to that of Figure
J.6. Many practical systems, such as the speed governor servomotor for a steam turbine can be
modeled as a system similar to Figure J.6.
Another assumption that is commonly made is that the load force FL is small compared to
the piston force F p , i.e.,
FL -s A~L (1.52)
In this case, the load force can be neglected entirely and the transfer function for the servo-
motor becomes
Kqx
y = - (1.53)

or the entire system becomes an integrator with integrating time A,JKq This is the form often
assumed for the power servomotor.
It should be noted that (J.53) may not be an adequate mathematical model if the piston load
is massive. For example, the intercept valve for a large steam turbine may weight three or four
tons. In such a case, it may not be a good assumption to write (J.53) unless the piston area Ap
and pressure drop PL are both very large such that the acceleration can be very fast compared to
the turbine response .
In summary, the following assumptions have been used in deriving (1.52):
K=O
VI ~ 4(3)(ce
FE. r,
MI~Bp
B~ce ~ AJ (1.54)
and when these assumptions hold , the valve-controlled piston is approximated as an integrator.

Some Computer Methods for Solving
Differential Equations
The solution of dynamic systems of any kind involves the integration of differential
equations. Some physical systems, such as power systems, are described by a large num-
ber of differential equations. Hand computation of such large systems of equations is
exceedingly cumbersome, and computer solutions are usually called for.
Computer solutions fall into two categories, analog and digital, with hybrid sys-
tems as a combination of the two. The purpose of this appendix is to reinforce the ma-
terial of the text by providing some of the fundamentals of computer solutions. This
material is divided into two parts: analog computer fundamentals and digital com-
puter solutions of ordinary differential equations. A short bibliography of references
on analog and digital solutions is included at the end of this appendix.
The function generator. The function generator is a device used to simulate a non-
linear function by straight-line segments. Function generators are represented by the
"pointed box" shown in Figure B.4 where the function / is specified by the user, and
this function is set according to the instructions for the particular computer used. This
feature makes it possible to simulate with reasonable accuracy certain nonlinear func-
tions such as generator saturation. The function/must be single valued.

Fig. B.5. The high-gain amplifier: V2 = -A VI' A > 10 .
means that the input voltage of such amplifiers is essentially zero since the output is
a Iways limited to a fi nite value (0 ft en 100 V).
The multiplier. The multiplier used on modern analog computers is an electronic
quarter-square multiplier that operates on the following principle. Suppose u and i are
to be multiplied to find the instantaneous power; i.e., p = vi. To do this, we begin
with two voltages, one proportional to v, the other proportional to r, Then we form
sum and difference signals, which in turn are squared and subtracted; i.e.,
M = (v + i)2 - (v - i)2 = (v 2 + 2ui + ;2) - (v 2 - 2v; + ;2) = 4v;
v;-------'

Other components. Most full-scale analog computers have other components not
described here, including certain logical elements to control the computer operation.
These specialized devices are left for the interested reader to discover for himself.

that the computed results may be conveniently plotted or displayed. For example, if
the output plotter has a frequency limit of 1.0 kHz, the computer should be time scaled
to plot the results more slowly than this limit.
Analog computers must also be amplitude scaled so that no variables will exceed
the rating of the computer amplifiers (usually 100 V). This requires that the user esti-
mate the maximum value of all variables to be represented and scale the values of these
variables so that the maximum excursion is well below the computer rating.
Actually, it is convenient to scale time and amplitude simultaneously. One reason
for this is that the electronic integrator is unable to tell the difference between the two
scale factors. Moreover, this makes one equation suffice for both kinds of scaling. We
begin with the following definitions. Let the time scaling constant a be defined as
follows:
T computer time
T = computer time t = real time a = - (8.3)
t real time
For example, if a = 100, this means that it will take the computer 100 times as long to
solve the problem as the real system would require. It also means that ]00 s on the out-
put plotter corresponds to I s of real time.
Also define L as the level of a particular variable in volts, corresponding to 1.0 pu
of that variable. For example, suppose the variable v in (B.1) ordinarily does not go
above 5.0 pu. If the computer is rated 100 V, we could set L = 20 V on the amplifier
supplying v. Then if v goes to 5.0 pu, the amplifier would reach 100 V, its maximum
safe value. The scaling procedure follows:
I. Choose a time scale a that is compatible with plotting equipment and will give rea-
sonable computation times (a few minutes at most).
2. Choose levels for all variables at the output of all summers and integrators.

Example B.I
Suppose the integrator in Figure 8.7 is to integrate - {) (in pu) to get the torque
angle {) in radians. Then we write
Appendix B 535
(B.6)
Thus the constant K in Figure B.7 and (B.5) is WR. which is required to convert from li in
pu to h in rad/s , In our example let WR = 377.
Solution
Let a = 50. Then the levels are computed as follows: 8m.. = 100" = 1.745 rad, so
let L O UI = 50 Y, (1.745 x 50 < 100). Also estimate 8m.. = 1.25 pu, so let Lin = 75 Y,
(1.25 X 75 < 100). Then compute
PC = KLou./aL in = (377 x 50)/(50 x 75) = 5.03
Example 8 .2
Compute the buildup curve of a de exciter by analog computer and compare with
the method of formal integration used in Chapter 7. Use numerical data from Examples
7.4, 7.5, and 7.6.
Solution
For this problem we ha ve the first-order differential equation
v F = (u - RO/T (B.7)
where U = up when separately excited
uF when self-excited
uR + uF when boost -buck excited
where both up and UR are constants. Thus the analog computer diagram is that shown in
Figure B.8, where U FO = uF(O).

Solving this equation should exactl y dupl icate the results of Chapter 7 where this same
equation was solved by formal integration.

each amplifier and are noted in parentheses. These values are substituted into (8.5) to
compute the PG products given in Table B.l. For example, for potentiometer 5
PC = (K/a)(Lout/Lin) = (1.0/4)(50/10) = 1.25 = 0.125 x 10

which we will solve by numerical techniques using a digital computer. Such problems
are generally called "initial value problems" because the dependent variable uF is known
to have the initial value (at t = 0) of vF(O) = UFO'
8.2.1 Brief survey of numerical methods
There are several well-documented methods for solving the initial value problem by
numerical integration. All methods divide the time domain into small segments ~t long
538 Appendix B
and solve for the value of v; at the end of each segment. In doing this there are three
problems: getting the integration started, the speed of computation, and the generation
of errors. Some methods are self-starting and others are not; therefore, a given com-
putation scheme may start the integration using one method and then change to another
method for increased speed or accuracy. Speed is important because, although the
digital computer may be fast, any process that generates a great deal of computation
may be expensive. Thus, for example, choosing ~t too small may greatly increase the
cost of a computed result and may not provide enough improvement in accuracy to be
worth the extra cost.
A brief outline of some known methods of numerical integration is given in Table
B.2. Note that the form of equation is given in each case as an nth-order equation.
However, it is easily shown that any nth-order equation can be written as n first-order
equations. Thus instead of
v(n) = }(v, t) (8.12)
we may write
XI = !t(v, t)
X2 = h(v, t)
.in = !,,(v, t)
or in matrix form
x= f(x, t) (B.13)
Thus we concern ourselves primarily with the solution of a first-order equation.
A complete analysis of every method in Table B.2 is beyond the scope of this ap-
pendix and the interested reader is referred to the many excellent references on the sub-
ject. Instead, we will investigate only the modified Euler method in enough detail to
be able to work a simple problem.

where v is known for I = 0 (the initial value) . Suppose the curves for v and uare as
shown in Fig . B.IO, where the time base has been divided into finite intervals !J.I wide.
Now define
(B.15)
which gives the initial slope of the v versus I curve. Next a predicted value for v at
the end of the first interval is computed . If we define v = VI when I = til, we com-
pute the predicted value VI as
(B .16)
which is an extension of the initial slope out to the end of the first interval, as shown in
Figure B.IO(b). But votil is the rectangular area shown in Figure B.IO(a) and is ob-
viously larger than the true area under the v versus I curve, so we conclude that P(v l )
is too large [also see Figure B.IO(b)].
Suppose we now approximate the value of VI by substituting P(v,) into the given
differential equation (B.14). Calling this value P(v l ) , we compute
(B .17)
(B.18)
540 Appendix B
We call (B.18) the corrector equation. Now we substitute the corrected value of
v" C(v l ) , into the original equation to get a corrected l\.
C(v,) = ![C(V1),dt] (8.19)
We now repeat this operation, using C(u 1) in (B.18) rather than P(v 1) to obtain
an even better value for C(v l ) . This is done over and over again until successive values
of C(v l ) differ from one another by less than some prescribed precision index or until
(B.20)
where k is the iteration number and E is some convenient, small precision index (10-6,
for example). Once VI is determined as above, we use it as the starting point to find v2
by the same method.
The general form of predictor and corrector equations is
P(V;+ I) = + V;(dt)
V; (B.21)
C(V;+I) = Vi + Hv; + P(Vi + I )]/ 21~l (B.22)
Example B.3
Solve the separately excited buildup curve by the predictor-corrector method of
numerical integration. Use numerical values from Example 7.4.
Solution
The equation requiring solution is
TEV F = vp - Ri (B.23)
where i as a function of V F is known from Table 7.3. We could proceed in two different
ways at this point. We could store the data of Table 7.3 in the computer and use linear
(or other means) interpolation to compute values of i for V F between given data points.
Thus using linear interpolation, we have for any value of v between VI and v2
(B.24)
In this way we can compute the value of i corresponding to any V F and substitute in
(B.23) to find uF An alternative method is to use an approximate formula to represent
the nonlinear relationship between V F and i, Thus, by the Frohlich equation,
(B.25)
where a and b may be found as in Example 7.2.
Let us proceed using the latter of the two methods, where from Example 7.2 we
have

Typical System Data
In studying system control and stability, it is often helpful to have access to typical
system constants. Such constants help the student or teacher become acquainted with
typical system parameters, and they permit the practicing engineer to estimate values for
future installations.
The data given here were chosen simply because they were available to the authors
and are probably typical. A rather complete set of data is given for various sizes of
machines driven by both steam and hydraulic turbines. In most cases such an accumu-
lation of information is not available without special inquiry. For example, data taken
from manufacturers' bids are limited in scope, and these are often the only known data
for a machine. Thus it is often necessary for the engineer to estimate or calculate the
missing information.
Data are also provided that might be considered typical for certain prime mover
systems. This is helpful in estimating simulation constants that can be used to repre-
sent other typical medium to large units. Finally, data are provided for typical trans-
mission lines of various voltages. (See Tables 0.1--0.8 at the end of this appendix.)

under open circuit conditions so that V, is actually the voltage behind the leakage re-
actance and is the voltage acro ss LAD. the pu saturated magnetizing inductance. Thus
we can easily determine two satura tion values from the generator saturation curve to
use as the basis for defining a saturation function . From Figure 0 .1 we arb itrar ily

Q.
Field Current, IF
There are several ways to define a saturation function, one of which IS given in
Section 5.10.\ where we define
(0 .6)
where
v.\ = v, - 0.8 (0 .7)
is the difference between the open circuit terminal voltage and the assumed saturation
threshold of 0.8 pu . Since (0 .6) contains two unknowns and the quantities SG and
V.\ are known at two points, we can solve for A G and BG explicitly .
From the given data we write
(0.8)
or
(0.10)
Example D.I
Suppose that measurements on a given generator saturation curve provide the fol-
lowing data:
SGLO = 0.20 SGIl = 0.80
Then we compute, using (0 .10),
AG = (0.20)2/1.2(0.80) = 0.04167 BG = Sin (1.2 x 0.8/0.20) = 7.843
This gives an idea of the order of magnitude of these constants; A G is usually less than
0.1 and BG is usually between 5 and 10.
558 Appendix D
The value of SG determined above may be used to compute the open circuit voltage
(or flux linkage) in terms of the saturated value of field current (or MMF). Referring
again to Figure 0.\, we write the voltage on the air gap line as
(0 .11)
Refer to Figure 0 .2. When saturation is present, current In does not give V,2 = Rln
but only produces VF 1, or
V,I = V,2 - V; = Rl n - V; (0.12)
where V; is the drop in voltage due to saturation. But from Figure 0 .2
tan 8 = R = V;/Un - IF!) (0.13)
(0.15)
where SG is clearly a function of V,I' Equation (0.15) describes how v" is reduced by
saturation below its air gap value Rln at no load . Usually, we assume a similar reduc-
tion occurs under load .
Note that the exponential saturation function does not satisfy the definition (0 .3) in
the neighborhood of V, = 0.8, where we assume that saturation begins. The computed
saturation function has the shape shown in Figure 0 .3. Note that SG > 0 for any
V&. The error is small, however, and the approximation solution is considered adequate
in the neighborhood of 1.0 pu voltage . Note that A G is usually a very small number, so
the saturation computed for V, < 0.8 is negligible.
Other methods of treating saturation are found in the literature [1,2,4,5,6. 7].

(3) Damping
It is common practice in stability studies to provide a means of adding damping
that is proportional to speed or slip. This concept is discussed in Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.9.
4.10, and 4.15 and is treated in the literature [8-12]. The method of introducing the
damping is by means of a speed or slip feedback term similar to that shown in Fig-
ure 3.4. where D is the pu damping coefficient used to compute a damping torque T,

where all quantities are in pu . The value used for D depends greatly on the kind of
generator model used and particularly on the modeling of the amortisseur windings.
For example, a damping of 1-3 pu is often used to represent damping due to turb ine
windage and load effects (2]. A much higher value, up to 25 pu is sometimes used as
a representation of amortisseur damping if this important source of damping is omitted
from the machine model.
The value of D also depends on the units of (D .16). In some simulations the
torque is computed in megawatts. Then with the slip W 6 in pu
(D .17)
It is also common to see the slip computed in hertz, i.e., Ij, Hz. Then (D .17) becomes
(D.18)
where S03 is the three-phase MY A base . fR is the base frequency in Hz, and It; is
the slip in Hz. A value sometimes used for D' in (D .18) is
D' = PdlR MW 1Hz (D .19)
wnere PG is the scheduled power generated in MW for this unit. This corresponds to
D = PGISo3 pu .

Not e that the regulator base voltage used to norm alize VR may be chosen arbi-

Then in pu with EFDf L as a base (actually, any convenient base may be used),
EfDmax = EFDmax(V)/EFDFL(V) = BID pu
or
B DEfDmax (0.21 )
We can also compute
B/F = 4/3 DEFDmax / F
or
F = O.75DEFDmax (0.22)
Combining (D.20)([).22)we can write
SErna.. (A - B)/ B = (A - B)/ DEFDrnax
SE.75rna;' (E - F)/ F = (E - F)/O.75DEFDrnax (4/3)( - F)I DFDmax (0.23)
Now define the saturation function
(D.24)
which gives the approximate saturation for any FD. Suppose we are given the numeri-
cal values of saturation at FDmax and O.75EFDmax. These values are called SErnax and
SE.75max respectively. Using these two saturation values, we compute the two unknowns
(D.25)
and at E FD = O.75FDrnax

Excitation Control System Definitions
There are two important recently published documents dealing with excitation
control system definitions. The first [I) appeared in 1961 under the title "Proposed
excitation system definitions for synchronous machines" and provided many definitions
of basic system elements. The second report (2] was published in 1969 under the same
title and, using the first report as a starting point, added the new definitions required
by technological change and attempted to make all definitions agree with accepted
language of the automatic control community. The definitions that follow are those
proposed by the 1969 report. J
Reference is also made to the definitions given in ANSI Standard C42.10 on ro-
tating machines [3], ANSI Standard C85.1 on automatic control [4], and the supple-
ment to e8S.1 [5]. Finally, reference is made to the IEEE Committee Report "Corn-
pu~er representation of excitation systems" [6], which defines certain time constants
and gain factors used in excitation control systems.
1.0 Systems
1.0J Control system, feedback. A control system which operates to achieve pre-
scribed relationships between selected system variables by comparing functions of these
variables and using the difference to effect control.
1.02 Control system, automatic feedback. A feedback control system which op-
erates without human intervention.
The source of field current for the excita-
1.03 Excitation system [I, definition 4].
tion of a synchronous machine and includes the exciter, regulator, and manual control.
1.04 Excitation control system (new). A feedback control system which includes
the synchronous machine and its excitation system.
1.05 High initial response excitation system (new). An excitation system having an
excitation system voltage response time of 0.1 second or less.

2.0 Components
2.01 Adjuster [1, definition 40]. An element or group of elements associated with
a feedback control system by which adjustment of the level of a controlled variable
can be made.
2.03 Compensator [I, definition 44]. A feedback element of the regulator which
acts to compensate for the effect of a variable by modifying the function of the primary
detecting element.
Notes:
I. Examples are reactive current compensator and active current compensator. A
reactive current compensator is a compensator that acts to modify the functioning
of a voltage regulator in accordance with reactive current. An active current com-
pensator is a compensator that acts to modify the functioning of a voltage regulator
in accordance with active current.
2. Historically, terms such as "equalizing reactor" and "cross-current compensator"
have been used to describe the function of a reactive compensator. These terms are
depreca ted.
3. Reactive compensators are generally applied with generator voltage regulators to
obtain reactive current sharing among generators operating in parallel. They func-
tion in the following two ways.
a. Reactive droop compensation is the more common method. It creates a droop
in generator voltage proportional to reactive current and equivalent to that which
would be produced by the insertion of a reactor between the generator terminals
and the paralleling point.
b. Reactive differential compensation is used where droop in generator voltage is
not wanted. It is obtained by a series differential connection of the various
generator current transformer secondaries and reactive compensators. The differ-
ence current for any generator from the common series current creates a com-
pensating voltage in the input to the particular generator voltage regulator that
acts to modify the generator excitation to reduce to minimum (zero) its differ-
ential reactive current.
4. Line drop compensators modify generator voltage by regulator action to compensate
for the impedance drop from the machine terminals to a fixed point. Action is
accomplished by insertion within the regulator input circuit of a voltage equivalent
to the impedance drop. The voltage drops of the resistance and reactance portions
of the impedance are obtained respectively in pu quantities by an "active compen-
sator" and a "reactive compensator."
2.04 Control, manual (new). Those elements in the excitation control system which
provide for manual adjustment of the synchronous machine terminal voltage by open
loop (human element) control.
2.05 Elements, feedback. Those elements in the controlling system which change
the feedback signal in response to the directly controlled variable.
584 Appendix E
2.06 Elements, forward. Those elements situated between the actuating signal and
the controlled variable in the closed loop being considered.
2.07 Element, primary detecting. That portion of the feedback elements which first
either utilizes or transforms energy from the controlled medium to produce a signal
which is a function of the value of the directly controlled variable.
2.08 Exciter [I, definition 5]. The source of all or part of the field current for
the excitation of an electric machine.
2.09 Exciter, main [1, definition 5]. The source of all or part of the field current
for the excitation of an electric machine, exclusive of another exciter.
2.09.1 DC generator commutator exciter. An exciter whose energy is derived from
a de generator. The exciter includes a de generator with its commutator and brushes.
It is exclusive of input control elements. The exciter may be driven by a motor, prime
mover, or the shaft of the synchronous machine.
2.09.2 Alternator rectifier exciter. An exciter whose energy is derived from an
alternator and converted to de by rectifiers. The exciter includes an alternator and
power rectifiers which may be either noncontrolled or controlled, including gate cir-
cuitry. It is exclusive of input control elements. The alternator may be driven by a
motor, prime mover, or by the shaft of the synchronous machine. The rectifiers may
be stationary or rotating with the alternator shaft.
2.09.3 Compound rectifier exciter. An exciter whose energy is derived from the
currents and potentials of the ac terminals of the synchronous machine and converted
to de by rectifiers. The exciter includes the power transformers (current and potential),
power reactor, power rectifiers which may be either noncontrolJed or controlled, in-
cluding gate circuitry. It is exclusive of input control elements.
2.09.4 Potential source rectifier exciter. An exciter whose energy is derived from
a stationary ac potential source and converted to dc by rectifiers. The exciter includes
the power potential transformers, where used, power rectifiers which may be either
noncontrolled or controlled, including gate circuitry. It is exclusive of input control
elements.
2.10 Exciter, pilot [1, definition 7]. The source of all or part of the field cur-
rent for the excitation of another exciter.
2.11 Limiter [I, definition 43]. A feedback element of the excitation system which
acts to limit a variable by modifying or replacing the function of the primary detector
element when predetermined conditions have been reached.
2.12 Regulator, synchronous machine [I, definition 8]. A synchronous machine
regulator couples the output variables of the synchronous machine to the input of the
exciter through feedback and forward controlling elements for the purpose of regulating
the synchronous machine output variables.
Note: In general, the regulator is assumed to consist of an error detector, preamplifier,
power amplifier, stabilizers, auxiliary inputs, and limiters. As shown in Figure 7.20,
these regulator components are assumed to be self-explanatory, and a given regulator
may not have all the items included. Functional regulator definitions describing types
of regulators are listed below. The term "dynamic-type" regulator has been omitted
as a classification [I, Definition 15].
Appendix E 585
2.12.1 Continuously acting regulator [1, definition 10). One that initiates a correc-
tive action for a sustained infinitesimal change in the controlled variable.
2.12.2 Noncontinuously acting regulator [1, definition II]. One that requires a sus-
tained finite change in the controlled variable to initiate corrective action.
2.12.3 Rheostatic type regulator [I, definition 12J. One that accomplishes the regu-
lating function by mechanically varying a resistance.
Note [l , Definitions 13, 14]: Historically, rheostatic type regulators have been further
defined as direct-acting and indirect-acting. An indirect-acting type of regulator is a
rheostatic type that controls the excitation of the exciter by acting on an intermediate
device not considered part of the regulator or exciter.
A direct-acting type of regulator is a rheostatic type that directly controls the excita-
tion of an exciter by varying the input to the exciter field circuit.
2.13 Stabilizer, excitation control system (new). An element or group of elements
which modifies the forward signal by either series or feedback compensation to im-
prove the dynamic performance of the excitation control system.
2.14 Stabilizer, power system (new). An element or group of elements which pro-
vides an additional input to the regulator to improve power system dynamic perfor-
mance. A number of different quantities may be used as input to the power system
stabilizer such as shaft speed, frequency, synchronous machine electrical power and
other.
tion is frequently qualified as "series," "parallel,' "feedback,' etc., to indicate the rela-
tive position of the compensating element.
3.07 Deviation, system. The instantaneous value of the ultimately controlled vari-
able minus the command.
3.08 Deviation, transient. The instantaneous value of the ultimately controlled
variable minus its steady-state value.
3.09 Disturbance. An undesired variable applied to a system which tends to affect
adversely the value of a controlled variable.
3.10 Duty, excitation system (new). Those voltage and current loadings imposed by
the synchronous machine upon the excitation system including short circuits and all
conditions of loading. The duty cycle will include the action of limiting devices to
maintain synchronous machine loading at or below that defined by ANSI C50.13-1965.
3.11 Duty, excitation system (new). An initial operating condition and a sub-
sequent sequence of events of specified duration to which the excitation system will
be exposed.
Note: The duty cycle usually involves a three-phase fault of specified duration located
electrically close to the synchronous generator. Its primary purpose is to specify the
duty that the excitation system components can withstand without incurring mal-
operation or specified damage.
3.12 Drift [1, definition 36]. An undesired change in output over a period of
time, which change is unrelated to input, environment, or load.
Note: The change is a plus or minus variation of short periods that may be superim-
posed on plus or minus variations of a long time period. On a practical system, drift is
determined as the change in output over a specified time with fixed command and
fixed load, with specified environmental conditions.
3.13 Dynamic. Referring to a state in which one or more quantities exhibit ap-
preciable change within an arbitrarily short time interval.
3.14 Error.. An indicated value minus an accepted standard value, or true value.
Note: ANSf C85 deprecates use of the term as the negative of deviation. See also
accuracy, precision in ANSI C8S.I.
3.15 Excitation system voltage response [I, definition 21]. The rate of increase or
decrease of the excitation system output voltage determined from the excitation system
voltage-time response curve, which rate if maintained constant, would develop the same
voltage-time area as obtained from the curve for a specified period. The starting point
for determining the rate of voltage change shall be the initial value of the excitation
system voltage time response curve. Referring to Fig. E-l, the excitation system voltage
response is illustrated by line ac. This line is determined by establishing the area acd
equal to area abd.
Notes:
I. Similar definitions can be applied to the excitation system major components such
as the exciter and regulator.
2. A system having an excitation system voltage response time of 0.1 s or less is de-
fined as a high initial response excitation system (Definition 1.05).

3,18 Excitation system voltage response ratio [I, definition 23]. The numerical value
which is obtained when the excitation system voltage response in volts per second,
measured over the first half-second interval unless otherwise specified, is divided by
the rated-load field voltage of the synchronous machine. Unless otherwise specified,
the excitation system voltage response ratio shall apply only to the increase in excita-
tion system voltage. Referring to Fig. E.I the excitation system voltage response ra-
tio = (ce - ao)/(ao)(oe) , where ao = synchronous machine rated load field voltage
(Definition 3.21) and oe = 0.5 second, unless otherwise specified .
3.19 Exciter main response ratio; formerly nominal exciter response. The main ex-
citer response ratio is the numerical value obtained when the response, in volts per
second, is divided by the rated-load field voltage; which response, if maintained con-
stant, would develop, in one half-second, the same excitation voltage-time area as at-
tained by the actual exciter.
Note: The response is determined with no load on the exciter, with the exciter voltage
initially equal to the rated-load field voltage, and then suddenly establishing circuit
conditions that would be used to obtain nominal exciter ceiling voltage. For a rotating
exciter, response should be determ ined at rated speed . This definition does not apply
to main exciters having one or more series fields (except a light differential series field)
nor to electronic exciters.

Control System Components
The electrical engineer is usually acquainted with common control system components
used in all-electric or electromechanical systems. Our goal here is to introduce mechanical and
hydraulic components and, in some cases, to compare these with electric components that per-
form a similar function. * The purpose for doing this is to enable one to recognize basic func-
tions such as summation, integration, differentiation, and amplification when performed either
electrically or mechanically. Such familiarity is an obvious aid to both analysis and synthesis of
control systems.
F. 1 Summation
A summer is a device that adds two or more quantities with due regard for algebraic sign.
Electrically, this is easily done by adding as many connections as desired through resistors R I'
R2 , , R; to the input of an operational amplifier with feedback resistor R.fi as shown in Figure
F.I, summing the currents entering the summing junction, where the voltage is practically zero
because of the high gain A. Therefore, we can write

A mechanical summer can be built using a "floating lever" or "walking beam" as shown in
Figure F.2. The object is to sum displacements, not forces, of x and y with the displacement z
being proportional to some function of x and y, or
z == .f{x,y) (F.2)
For small displacements, we assume a linear approximation
z == -az

where the bar-r notation means the derivative is evaluated at a reference position. We use linear
superposition to evaluate C 1 with y fixed and C2 with x fixed. By similar triangles, we have

Obviously, (F.5) and (F.6) should not be used if the beam becomes tilted, but is reasonably
accurate if the tilt angle is less than 30.
In a similar way, we can use a wobble plate to add three displacements, as shown in Figure
F.3.
If the wobble plate is an equilateral triangle, then the sum is
x+y+w
z= (F.7)
3
Another way of adding more than two quantities is to add them to the same beam, in which
case (F.3) includes a term for each component. Unfortunately, changing one of the coefficients
also changes the others, so this must be studied for each individual case .
Still another way of adding more than two quantities to break up the sum into partial sums,
e.g.,
z = u + v + x + y = (u + v) + (x + y) (F.8)
where a separate beam is used for each partial sum and still another beam for the total. Unlike
the electronic summer, the addition of mechanical hardware can cause problems of friction and
backlash, which may lead to serious error.
Angular addition of two quantities can be performed by a mechanical differential gear
arrangement. Other electric summers include transformers, difference amplifiers, and resistance
networks. Many of these schemes are described in the literature [2, 3]
F.2 Differentiation
Differentiation would seem to be possible in an electric network by using the technique shown
in Figure FA , where
1
Z,=- (F.9)
Cs
Then, adding currents entering the summing junction we have
(F.lO)
which is obviously a differentiation of E; multiplied by a negative constant. However, this cir-
cuit will not perform well due to the amplification of noise. This is due to the wide-band ampli-
fying capability of the operational amplifier and the fact that s = 5 + jw is in the numerator.
Therefore, any high-frequency noise (large w) available at the input is amplified at the output,
Since all electronic equipment generates a certain amount of noise, this circuit is not practical
and is usually avoided .

Various electrical and electromechanical circuits for approximate differentiation have been
proposed [2]. Usually, we can solve the system equation by integration rather than differentia-
tion and this is recommended. One method of strictly mechanicaldifferentiation at low frequen-
cies is the dashpot, shown in Figure F.5.
The transfer function of this device is found from the differential equation

F.3 Integration
Integration involves none of the problems of noise amplification present in the circuit of
Figure FA . In fact, integration tends to smooth any input disturbances and is an operation ideal-
ly suited for electronic simulation. The usual way of doing this is by means of the circuit of Fig-
ure F.6.
Adding the currents entering the summingjunction, we get

This integrator is inverting, as indicated by the minus sign, and has a gain of I/R;Cf
A good example of a mechanical integrator is the combination of a pilot valve and a pis-
ton, as shown in Figure F.7. Its operation is explained as follows. Suppose the pilot valve is
lifted an amount XI above its neutral position. As this opens the port to the pipe connecting
the pilot valve to the piston, the high -pressure hydraulic fluid will flow through this pipe and
push against the piston, compressing the piston spring. Unless the piston reaches a stop, this
slight movement XI will cause the piston to continue its motion, traveling at some given speed .
Thus, in each increment of time dt, the piston will travel a distance Ay = Kx.dt, as shown in
Figure F.8, where Kx, is the velocity. Obviously, if the pilot valve is opened a greater amount,
the velocity will be increased, although not as a linear function of X, except for small dis-
placements.
By graphical integration, we have
y(t) = K[X(t)dt (F.13)

F.4 Amplification
The amplifier is a common device in electrical technology. Using a high-gain operational am-
plifier, it is quite easy to produce gains over several orders of magnitude, say from 10-3 to 10+3 .
The circuit for doing this is shown in Figure F.9 where

Outpu t
Note that the force is not amplified in this device; only the stroke or displacement.
A mechanical power amplifier, which amplifies both stroke and force, is usually called a
servomotor or a mechanical-hydraulic amplifier. Such a device , as shown in Figure F.11, uses
hydraulic fluid, such as oil, under pressure from an auxiliary power source. This is analogous to
an electronic amplifier, which also uses power from an auxiliary (+B) supply. The device in
Figure F.ll will typically amplify the energy level by 1000:1 or so and can be used to drive sub-
stantial loads. The output Y follows a change in X position with a time lag. Usually, the mass of
the moving parts is low compared to the force available such that the response is quite fast. The
servomotor pictured in Figure F.ll is called double-acting since the two control "lands" of the
pilot valve simultaneously control fluid flow to and from the opposite sides of the piston.
We may analyze the system of Figure F.lI according to the block diagram of Figure F.l2

Note carefully the difference between the force-stroke amplifier of Figure F.14 and the me-
chanical integrator in Figure F.7. The differen ce is clearly the presence of the mechanical feed-
back linkage such that the amplifier finds a new equilibrium position corresponding to a new in-
put position x. Recall that the integrator continues to drive the piston for any pilot valve
displacement until the pilot valve is returned to its neutral position .
The response ofthe servomotor amplifier is given by equation F.30 and may be represented
by the curves of Figure F.15. Note that this is not the response for the electronic amplifier in
equation F.17, where there is no delay indicated . We may change the electronic amplifier of
Figure F.9 slightly to obtain a first-order delay similar to Figure F.15. Ifwe replace the feed-
back resistor in Figure F.9 with a parallel R-C combin ation such that

F.5 Gating
A gate is a device that makes a decision as to whether a signal should be passed or not, or
that chooses between two eligible input signals to determine which , if either, should pass the
gate. This can be accomplished in an electric circuit by a scheme such as that shown in Figure
F.l8, which illustrates a "low-value gate" device .
Here, it is assumed that E 1 is positive and E[ is negative . Then Eo will be the greater (less
negative) of either E[(-) or--(R/R1)E t (+), as shown in Figure F.l9.
Reversing the diode and the polarity of E[ gives the response shown in Figure F.20. Thus, it
is seen that this circuit has the ability to select between E; and E[, "auctioning off' the output to
the highest (or lowest) bidder.

Many other gating circuits are possible and such circuits often contain diodes, Zener
diodes, or some other nonlinear elements . Many references in the analog computer field give
examples of such circuits, e.g., see [5] and [6]. Other circuits with characteristics similar to Fig-
ures F.l9 and F.20 are possible . In some applications, the value of E/. is fixed and the circuit is
called a limiter. Another useful device is the comparator, which behaves in a certain way up to
a limiting value, then changes state and acts in a different manner. Both limiters and compara-
tors could be used as overriding gates in the sense intended here.
Gating can also be accomplished using hydraulic-mechanical controls . Such a system is
shown in Figure F.21, where both inputs XI and X 2 can be either control signals or limit signals.
In both systems, XI can be used to control Y providing that X 2 is between its maximum and min-
imum limits. If X 2 is outside these limits, then XI has no control over the variable Y.
F.6 Transducers
A transducer is a device that measures some quantity and produces an output that is related, in a
useful way, to the measured quantity. Usually, a transducer is useful over a limited range and
these limits must be compatible with the normal operating range of the quantity to be measured.
Control System Components 603
In many cases, the transducer will be designed such that its output varies linearly with the mea-
sured quantity, if within specified limits . The "output" will usually be a mechanical position or
a voltage .
Space does not permit an exhaustive survey of all known transducers. Here, our treatment
will be confined to components used in power system control.
Actually, the characteristic is not linear, but quadratic , as shown in Figure F.23 (also see
Appendix C). However, when changes in speed are small, the error in assuming linearity is not
great and the approximation of (F.37) is adequate . Moreover, the characteristic of Figure F.23 is
single-valued in the range of interest (n > 0) so that the use of (F.37), even though technically
incorrect, will always generate an error signal of the correct polarity .
An example of an electromechanical speed transducer, which is convenient is some cases,
is the permanent magnet ac generator as shown in Figure F.24. One advantage of this device is
its linearity, since the generated emf (the rms value) varies directly with speed, as shown in Fig-
ure F.2S.
An electromechanical scheme is the magnetic pickup device shown in Figure F.26. A com-

bination of these last two devices is also possible, wherein a frequency of the PM generator is
sensed and converted to a voltage, as in Figure F.26
Another important speed transducer is the shaft-mounted oil pump. The oil discharge of the
pump is directed through an orifice or needle valve. If a gear-type pump is used, the flow of oil
will be directly proportional to speed, or
(F.38)
When discharged through an orifice, a square root characteristic exists between flow and
pressure drop, or
Q=k2 vP (F.39)
Thus, we have the relationship between speed and pressure
P = k2n2 (F.40)

each secondary is equally coupled to the primary and the induced voltages in the secondaries
are equal, i.e., el = e 2' Moving the coil toward one end increases the coupling to one secondary
and, simultaneously, reduces the coupling to the other. Thus, in Figure F.29, movement of the
core to the right will result in el > e2 '
To convert the secondary voltages to de, we require a demodulator. This device, shown in

Other translational and angular position transducers are available that utilize different prin-
ciples. For example, change in resistance with strain, change in capacitance with change of
plate spacing, magnetostricton, piezoelectricity, and many others. Some of these devices are
useful over a very small range of displacement [3]. Our concern here has centered on devices
usable over relatively large changes in displacement.

shown in Figure F.3? Here, the valve is an intercept valve that is operated by stroke fj (the out-
put in Figure F.32). As the input stroke f, increases, calling for additional output fj, the feed-
back position F is increased, but not linearly. In block diagram form, this situation behaves as
shown in Figure F.38. The nonlinear feedback path tends to linearize the /Ltv versus fl' The no-
tations in Figure F.38 refer to Figure F.3? Note that the feedback cam has the same nonlinear
characteristic as the intercept valve .
These same ideas can be used in electromechanical systems in which an electronic simula-
tion of the nonlinearity replaces the cam. An electro-hydraulic valve controller is shown in Fig-
ure F.39, where the feedback signal is electrical rather than mechanical. Thus, the nonlinear
"valve" characteristics must be simulated electrically. This is usually done using several
straight line segments and nonlinear elements, such as diodes. Suppose the desired curve is sim-
ilar to that shown in Figure FAO and the representation is to be as shown, where two straight
lines are used to approximate the curve. There are several ways to do this electrically, but one
easy way is that shown in Figure FA I.
Until the voltage E[o(-) becomes as negative as the value set as the break point, all current
flows through the initial slope resistance Rz. However, once the break-point voltage is reached
(a negative value) the current flows through the.initial slope and final slope resistors in parallel,
giving the flatter characteristic of Figure FAO. If greater accuracy is required, several break
points can be incorporated so that the straight-line segments become shorter and the functional
representation more precise .

Control System Components 613
Pressure control systems, such as the turbine-following system of Figure 11.3, have been
analyzed from a control viewpoint. * The block diagram for such a control system is shown in
Figure G.l, where system variables are defined both by name and by symbols.
The variables defined in Figure G.l(b) are related to physical quantities shown in Figure
G.l(a). The multiplier of Figure G.l(a) will be eliminated by mathematical manipulation. The
transfer functions for Figure G.1(b) will be derived. In doing so, it will be convenient to refer to
a typical physical system that exhibits some of the features under discussion. Such a physical
system is shown in Figure G.2. It consists of a summing beam B (see Appendix F) on which
several forces act, including the pressure-sensing bellows, rjJ, the reference, Pp, the steady-state
feedback, 11ISp and the temporary feedback, e; All forces are summed with the correct algebra-
ic sign to provide an output, B, which operates the pilot valve input to the relay piston integrator
(see Appendix F). This relay piston operates the force and stroke amplifier to obtain the stroke
np (not shown). Feedback lever L, produces the steady-state droop by acting in opposition to B
(negative feedback) with the droop adjusted by changing the lever arm as noted. Feedback lever
L 2 produces a transient droop that is gradually reduced to zero by controlled leakage through a
preset needle valve KN V' which equalizes the initial pressure difference. This amounts to a me-
chanical differentiation and is called reset control.
1. Pressure Regulator, GR
Three transfer functions for pressure regulation are used:
(a) Proportional control is represented by the block diagram of Figure G.3, where l/G is
the time it would take the output (stroke) 111 to go through full or unit stroke if a rated pressure
error is applied and with no feedback. The constant Sp is a droop constant fed back mechanical-
ly to stabilize the system.
We compute, for zero reference, PP = 0

in the valve itself. We would like to eliminate this multiplication and to linearize equation

4. Steam Volume
We assume that the steam flow, J.Lj, being fed into the steam volume, is constant and is indepen-
dent of pressure. The steam vessel or drum ahead of the control valves acts as an integrator.
Thus , any flow in that is not balanced by flow out of the drum will increase the pressure at a rate
given by the integrator gain G{ where

regulation, 8p , makes the system more stable, but results in a greater steady-state error. Recall-

The system is type I [26] and has a steady-state position (pressure) error of zero. Stability
depends on the gain, K v of (G.17).
If either proportional plus reset control or proportional plus partial reset control are used,
the results are changed as shown in Figure G.9 and G.ID, respectively, where typical values of
constants are used. These systems could also be analyzed by root locus and this method is rec-
ommended to the interested reader .

Considerable literature exists on governors, some of it quite elementary [1-7]. Only a few
references provide a more rigorous analytical treatment [8, 9]. This appendix explores the gov-
ernor equations in greater detail than is usually needed for linearized control. It is presented as a
background for the material for Chapter 10 and forms a basis from which simplifying assump-
tions may be made for physical systems.

where T; is the accelerating torque. However, there is a simple gear ratio N relating wand WG'
i.e.,
(H.27)
From (H.22), we note that the governor stroke, x, is a function of cos cPo Thus, the mechan-
ical torque must be proportional to cos cPo Ifwe assume an operating angle cPo at which point the
torque is TmO' we write
(H.28)
where k> 0 is a constant. Note that, as ep increases, Tm decreases and vice versa (also note that 0
S cP :5 90). Thus, as the speed decreases, decreasing ep, Tm is increased by the admission of
more steam as shown in Figure H.5. This explanation ignores the delays in servos and steam
systems.
We now define a constant F as follows:
(H.29)
which is dependent on the load torque T; Also, for convenience, we define the angular speed in
the cP direction to be f/J, i.e.,
f/J = cb (H.30)
Combining (H.24) and (H.30) we have a normalized system of equations as follows:
. 2~ 2n
f/J = n2Lw2 sin ep cos ep - - - sin l/J cos l/J + - - sin l/Ju cos l/J (R.3!)

These equations are the state equations for the system, ignoring any delays in converting
governor stroke to mechanical torque.
When operating at a constant load Te , the rotor speed to must be constant, thus giving con-
stant governor speed wN and constant governor angle l/J. Thus, a state ofequilibrium exists where
cP = cPo
t/J=4>=0
{
w= Wo (H.32)
From (H.3!), we learn more about the state of equilibrium by setting the left-hand side to
zero and substituting (H.32).

Equation (H.36) must be examined for higher-order terms, such as those involving squared

where

It is instructive to examine the stability of the linear system (H.38). We call the system ma-
trix A and compute
P(A) = det A - A1 =0 (H.40)
where 1 is the unit matrix. Thus we have the result

or, by definition

Note that a3 :> 0, therefore, by Routh's criterion, we require that, not only must all a's be
positive, but also, if stability is to be assured,
(H.43)
where these coefficients are defined above. This is the sufficient condition for stability [8]. Re-
arranging (H.42) and incorporating(H.33) we compute
BJ _ 2KNBJ (1 _ sin cPu ) > 2F (H.44)

where F is proportionalto the load torque, T;
Now, the right-hand side of (H.44) correspondsto a particular operatingpoint on the torque
speed characteristic of the prime mover. Recall from (H.28) that F is a constant for a given val-
ue of W00 These incrementalchanges on the torque-speedcurve are referred to as the "incremen-
tal regulation" (incrementaldroop) of the prime mover, defined by
aw
R= - (H.45)
I aF
This corresponds to the slope at a given point (wo, To) on the torque-speed curve as shown
in Figure H.6. Since the slope is usually negative, the incremental regulation computed by
(H.45) is a positive quantity.
The derivative (H.45) may be computed from (H.34) with the result
-cPwo Wo K ( sin cPu )
(H.46)
R, = cPTo = 2To - woT~m 1 - sin3 cPo
OJ
-----------------~T
For a given system with fixed B, 1, and m, the only control we have on stability is through
the regulation. As seen from (H.46), this depends on the values of K and <Pm and the spring can
be either beneficialor detrimental. For cPu = 0, a large K is detrimental to stability.

Wave Equations for a Hydraulic Conduit
The purpose of this appendix is to derive the equations for head and velocity of fluid in an
elastic conduit. The resulting equations are very similar to the familiar wave equations used by
electrical engineers to describe the voltage and current at any point along a transmission line. In
hydraulicapplications,these equations are often called the "water hammer" equations,since they
describe mathematicallythe traveling pressure waves in a conduit. The derivation used here fol-
lows closely that ofParmakian [1], which is recommended for further reading on the subject. All
variables used in this derivation, together with the variable names, are given in Table 1.1.

0.85 for the three cases. Thus, in general, we could take C t to be a constant somewhat less than

the spool valve in Figure 1.1.
The orifice area in each case is a function of the displacement x. Thus, we can write
AI = A )(x)
A z = Az(-x)
A) = A)(x)
A 4 =A 4 (- x) (J.3)
Finally, we note that the pressure drop across the load is given by
(J.4)
These four equations, 1.1-1.4, with appropriate simplifications, must be solved simultane-
ously to give QL as a function of x and Pu i.e., QL = QL(X, PL).
The first simplification is to assume matched symmetrical valve orifices:
Matched: A) = A)
A z = A4 (J.5)
(1.7)
642 Appendix J
Usually, we assume that orifice area varies linearly with valve stroke so that only one
defining equation is required, i.e.,
A =wx (1.8)
where w is the width of the slot in the valve sleeve in ft 2/ft (or in2/in).
Now, for matched symmetrical valves
Ql =Q3
Q2= Q4 (1.9)
From the first equality, and using (J.5), we write
or
PS=P1+P2 (1.10)
Combining (J.I0) with (J.4), we compute

Equation (J.18) is the desired relationship and will be used in evaluating the small-signal
behavior of the system. There are obvious limitations that should be kept in mind, however, as
equation (1.16) is obviously not linear, even though much of the operating range is reasonably
linear.

which is a force normal to the plane of the vena contracta. The force normal to the spool is giv-
en by
Fs = Flcos () = 2CeC~O(P2 - PI) cos () (1.25)
Using (J.l5) to express Ao as a linear function of x, we write, for small x
~=~~ ~~
This is a steady-state (Bernoulli) force that always acts in a direction to close the orifice, or
in the -x direction in Figure 1.3.
The transient flow force is derived by considering the forces produced by accelerating the
element of fluid shown in Figure J.3 in reacting with the face area of the spool. If the fluid ele-
ment is accelerated in the direction of flow, the pressure on the left must exceed that on the
right, or the pressure at face a exceeds that at face b. The direction of this force tends to close
the valve. The magnitude is given by
Hydraulic Servomotors 645
Using QI from (1.20) with the area expressed as a linear function of x, we compute
(1.28)
where P A = PI - P2 Merritt [1] observes that the first term on the right side of (1.28) is the more
significant as it represents a damping term. The second term is usually neglected. The quantity
L is called the damping length and is the axial length of fluid between incoming and outgoing
flows.
In power system control analysis, it is customary to ignore the transient force (J.28). This is
simply in recognition of the fact that the valve transient period is very short compared to the
load transient period.
~~
Supply Return
drops exist across the valves, that the valves have equal coefficients, and that the supply pres-
sure, P s, is constant. Then, from (J.18), for small deviations,
(J.29)
where P L == PI - P2 is the pressure drop across the load or across the piston.
We can also write a continuity equation for the weight flow rate in and out of the contained
volume. If we consider a contained volume V of mass m and density p, we can write the conti-
nuity equation
dm
I Win - I Wout = Wstored = g"dt (J.30)
where
W = weight flow rate, lbf/s?
g = acceleration of gravity, ft/s?
p == density, lbm/ft" (or lbf-svft")
v = volume, ft3
From (J.30) we can write
dV dp
IWin-IWout=gpdi +gVdi (1.31)
where
VJ == total volume of forward chamber including valve, connecting line, and piston volume, ft3
V2 = total volume of return chamber, ft3
C ip == internal cross port leakage coefficient of piston, ft5ls-1bf
Cep = extemalleakage coefficient of piston, ft 5ls-lbf
Hydraulic Servomotors 647
Now, let
VI = VOl +ApY
V2 = V02 + ApY (J.37)
where
Ap = piston area, ft2
VOl, V02 = initial volumes, ft3
and assume that [1]
VOl = V02 == Vo (J.38)
Also note that the total volume, Vt, is constant, i.e.,
Vt = VI + V2 = 2Vo (J.39)
Taking derivatives of (J.37) and substituting into (J.36) we get
dy VI ar,
QI - Cip(P t - P2) - Ce,JJt = Apdi + f3e dt
dy V2 dP2

(J.41)
Using (J.ll), we can show that the last term on the right side of (J.40) is zero. Also, using
PL = PI - P2 , (J.4l) can be written as

where we define

We now apply Newton's law to the forces acting on the piston to write
Mty = -Ky - BpY -FL + A,JJL (1.44)
where
M( = total mass of piston and load, lbf-svft
Bp = viscous damping coefficient of piston and load, lbf-s/ft
K = spring constant, lbf/ft
F L = load force, lbf
In summary, then, we have three equations that describe the servomotor behavior. In the s-
domain, these equations are

Equation (J.45) can be arranged in the block diagram form shown in Figure J.5.
In most applications, the spring force is missing and K = O. This changes the form of (J.46)
to

Note that (J.48) has a pure integration, which is not present in the system (J.46) where the
spring was included. The block diagram for this system is the same as Figure J.6, but with K = O.
In some systems, the mass M, of the piston and load is negligible, i.e., the time constant is
small, or

Fig. J.6 Servomotor with negligible load mass and small lag time constant.
When this assumption holds, the output transfer function in Figure 1.5 becomes simply an
integration. If we also assume that time constant 'T is small , the system reduces to that of Figure
J.6. Many practical systems, such as the speed governor servomotor for a steam turbine can be
modeled as a system similar to Figure J.6.
Another assumption that is commonly made is that the load force FL is small compared to
the piston force F p , i.e.,
FL -s A~L (1.52)
In this case, the load force can be neglected entirely and the transfer function for the servo-
motor becomes
Kqx
y = - (1.53)
ApS
or the entire system becomes an integrator with integrating time A,JKq This is the form often
assumed for the power servomotor.
It should be noted that (J.53) may not be an adequate mathematical model if the piston load
is massive. For example, the intercept valve for a large steam turbine may weight three or four
tons. In such a case, it may not be a good assumption to write (J.53) unless the piston area Ap
and pressure drop PL are both very large such that the acceleration can be very fast compared to
the turbine response .
In summary, the following assumptions have been used in deriving (1.52):
K=O
VI ~ 4(3)(ce
FE. r,
MI~Bp
B~ce ~ AJ (1.54)
and when these assumptions hold , the valve-controlled piston is approximated as an integrator.

There are many ways that equations can be normalized, and no one system is clearly
superior to the others [1,2,3). For the study of system dynamic performance it is im-
portant to choose a normalization scheme that provides a convenient simulation of the
equations. At the same time it is also important to consider the traditions that have
been established over the years [1,2) and either comply wholly or provide a clear tran-
sition to a new system.
Having carefully considered a number of normalization schemes for synchronous
machines and weighed the merits of each, the authors have adopted the following
guidelines against which any normalization system should be measured.
I. The system voltage equations must be exactly the same whether the equations are in pu
or MKS units. This means that the equations are symbolically always the same and
no normalization constants are required in the pu equations.
2. The system power equation must be exactly the same whether the equation is in pu or
MKS units. This means that power is invariant in undergoing the normalization.
Thus both before and after normalization we may write
(C. I )
Ideal
R . di, di, V
VI III + L" dt + L'2 dt
di, di, V
V2 = R 2 i 2 + L 22 dt + L 21 dt (C.2)
where, in terms of the mutual permeance (Pm and the coil turns N, L i k = {P,n Nj N,
for i, k = 1,2. Now choose base values for voltage, current, and time in each cir-
cuit, i.e.,
For circuit I: V'Bl,oIIB
For circuit 2: V2B128 t28
Then since any quantity is the product of its per unit and base quantities, we have,
using the subscript u to clearly distinguish pu quantities,

and base quantities are often chosen to make nu = I. From (C.8) we compute
I'B/12B = V2B/V1B
or
(C.9)
and the mutual inductance terms of the voltage equation (C.4) become
(C. I I)
Then the voltage equation is exactly the same in pu as in volts, and the first require-
ment is satisfied. Furthermore, if this identical relationship exists between currents and
voltages, the power is also invariant and the second requirement is also met.
(C.13)
Injecting a base current in circuit I with circuit 2 open, i.e., with i, liB and ;2 = 0,
gives the following mutual flux linkages
(C.14)
In pu these flux linkages are
Am l u = Am2u (C.17)
548 Appendix C
or
(C.18)
Following a similar procedure, we can show that injecting a base current in circuit
2 with circuit 1 open (i.e., with ;2 = /28 and i, = 0) gives the following pu flux linkages:
x., = L 12/ 28 / L I8/18 (C.19)
Again equal pu flux linkages give
L m2/ L 28 L m2u = L12/28/LIB/IB (C.20)
(C.21)
and from (C.20) and (C.2)
L m2/L28 = L m2u = L12/18/L28/28 (C.22)
Comparing (C.18) and (C.22),
(C.23)
Now using (C.) 2), (C.20), (C.22), and (C.23) in the voltage equation (C.4),
VI U= R. u; I u + {,. I. u + L mu (i I u + /2 u )
V2u = R 2ui 2u + {2 i2u + Lmu(i,u + 12u) (C.24)
which is represented schematically by the tee circuit shown in Figure C.2. Thus the
third requirement is satisfied.
An interesting point to be made here is that the requirement for equal pu mutual
flux linkages is the same as equal base M M F's,
S8(L ml/L I8) = SB(L m2/L2B)
or
(Lml/LI8)(/r8LIB) = (Lm2/L28)(/~8L28)
Lml/iB = Lm2/~8 (e.25)
or in terms of the mutual permeance (Pm
C.2.1 Summary
The first three normalization specifications require that
I. All circuits must have the same VA base (C.9).
2. All circuits must have the same time base (C.6), (C.9), and (C.IO).
3. The requirement of a common pu tee circuit means equal pu magnetizing inductance
in all circuits (C.23). This requires equal pu mutual flux linkages (C. I?), which in
turn requires that the base MMF be the same in all circuits (C.28).
Note that (C.29) and (C.30) are not identical, and hence this choice of stator base
quantities does not meet requirement number I.
550 Appendix C
In this book the stator base quantities selected to meet the requirements stated
above are
SIB rated per phase voltarnpere, V A
VI B rated rms voltage to neutral, V
liB rated rms line current, A
tlB 1/WR, S (C.31)
The rotor base quantities are selected to meet the conditions of equal S8, 18,
and F0 (or Am). Equal VA base gives
(C.32)
(The subscript 2 is used to indicate any rotor circuit. The same derivation applies
to a field circuit or to an amortisseur circuit.) Equal mutual flux linkages require
that the mutual flux linkage in the d axis stator produced by a base stator current
would be the same as the d axis stator flux linkage produced by a d axis rotor base
current. Thus in M KS units,
or

where z, = kMF/L m l
From (C.32) and (C.33) we obtain for the rotor circuit base voltage
V20 = Vlo/ I B /1 28 = i, Vl8 (C.34)
The inductance base for the rotor circuit is then given bY( 1 )
L28 = V28tB/12B = (kMF/Lml)2(VIB/IIB) - = Jcj.L 1B (C.36)

The pu d axis mutual inductance is then given by

Thus the value of the pu d axis mutual inductance of any rotor circuit is the same
as the pu magnetizing inductance of the stator.
