  • Abstract
    It is shown experimentally that modern control theory can be used to provide very satisfactory excitation control of a microalterntor intended to represent a large, 2-pole, fossil fuel, thermal unit, under a wide range of operating conditions. Five different controllers are considered and experimental work is supported by extensive digital computer simulation and associated parameter and trajectory sensitivity studies.
