Neural network observers for on-line tracking of synchronous generator parameters

This paper presents a methodology for implementing artificial neural network (ANN) observers in estimating and tracking synchronous generator parameters from time-domain online disturbance measurements. Data for training the neural network observers are obtained through offline simulations of a synchronous generator operating in a one-machine-infinite-bus environment. Nominal values of parameters are used in the machine model. After training, the ANN observer is tested with simulated online measurements to provide estimates of unmeasurable rotor body currents and in tracking simulated changes in machine parameters.
