Parallel operation of Brayton cycle alternators Algorithms and applications

Parallel operation of Brayton cycle alternators with automatic voltage and active power control is considered. An implementation and application of that theory are used to develop algorithms for system analysis in various test cases. A single machine algorithm with control is developed first. Multimachine parallel operation of the alternators, based on the single machine algorithm, is then developed. Finally, an algorithm for the complex system which includes various groups of the Brayton cycle alternators operating in parallel with network and loads is developed. Smooth control of the alternators in parallel operation sharing the generation of the power among the alternators illustrates the feasibility of the proposed control concept
