Abstract

The synchronous generator (SG) plays a crucial role in power systems by serving as a stable and reliable source of electrical energy. The performance of an SG hinges on its standard parameters, which can be derived through dynamic tests. This study introduces a method for determining the standard parameters of an SG from dynamic tests conducted via power system simulation for engineering (PSS/E). The proposed method entails conducting several key tests on the generator, including a direct-load rejection test, excitation removal test, quadrature-axis load rejection test, arbitrary axis load rejection test, and open-circuit saturation test. The results obtained from these tests are then utilized to calculate the standard parameters of the SG accurately. To validate the effectiveness of the method, simulation data from the SG, as well as the designed initial data, are utilized. Statistical analysis reveals that the maximum relative error is equal to or less than 2.7% of the design values for all standard parameters, emphasizing the robustness and accuracy of the proposed method. The methodology presented in this study can complement field or site measurements, as it enables the verification of system parameters through dynamic simulations.

Abstract

Exciter and governor systems are critical to regulating power output and maintaining stability in power systems. Despite their significance, there is a lack of practical methodologies that leverage real power plant data for modeling, tuning, and validation. This research paper seeks to fill this gap by presenting a methodology that utilizes a transfer function and control algorithms for tuning and validation. The proposed approach is demonstrated through a case study of a practical combined-cycle power plant in Malaysia. The control algorithm's effectiveness is verified through MATLAB and Simulink simulations. Post-tuning assessments confirm the method’s ability to accurately determine tunable control parameter settings, meeting system requirements while ensuring grid stability and reliability. This versatile approach can be applied to various power plant configurations, making it a valuable tool for optimizing operations.

Abstract

The integration of renewable energy systems (RES) and distributed generation (DG) into microgrids introduces significant challenges in maintaining voltage stability due to intermittent generation and reduced rotational inertia. This systematic review critically examines advanced control strategies aimed at enhancing voltage resilience in isolated RES-driven microgrids. Particular focus is placed on virtual synchronous generators (VSGs), which emulate electromechanical dynamics of synchronous machines via state-space modeling, and model predictive control (MPC), which enables real-time control optimization under multi-constraint scenarios. The review synthesizes literature on coupling–decoupling behavior, impedance sensitivity, and dynamic voltage response under varying load conditions. Additionally, it evaluates the role of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platforms and Runge-Kutta-based simulations in validating control models for real-time deployment. A structured framework is proposed, aligning VSG-based inertia emulation with predictive control to address voltage dips, oscillations, and transient instabilities. The findings highlight both theoretical gaps and implementation opportunities for achieving robust voltage stabilization in next-generation microgrids.
