Dynamic Models of Turbine Generators Derived From Solid Rotor Equivalent Circuits

A method is described for determining the structure and coefficients of dynamic models of turbogenerators from detailed equivalent circuits of the d-and q-axes of a solid rotor generator. These models are intended for analyses of power system dynamics in cases where it is desirable to have a very accurate representation of the synchronous machine. The models have been used to study power system hunting or dynamic stability, first swing or transient stability, load rejection overvoltages, resynchronization of cross-compound turbine-generator sets, field current and voltage during out-of-step operation, voltage dip and other phenomena associated with machine operation on power systems. The paper reviews some of the experience obtained in system studies and in comparisons between test results and computer simulations.
