Automatic excitation control of synchronous generators as an effective means to ensure the reliable parallel operation of generation equipment and the united power system as a whole

The reliability of the parallel operation of generation equipment and the functioning of the power system as a whole depends on the effectiveness of automatic excitation regulators (AER) and excitation systems (ES) of synchronous generators at power plants. The SO-UPS elaborated, approved, and enforced the standard Requirements to Excitation Systems and Automatic PD Excitation Regulators of Synchronous Generators, which extends and supplements the requirements to ESs and AERs established by the technical regulations currently in force. A system regulators monitoring system is being developed.
