Brushless Exciter

Excitation system without compounding.

brushless exciter

Description

The Brushless Exciter unit is an electro-machine brushless and high frequency modernised exciter. The modernisation of the high frequency exciter consists in the elimination of the sub exciter and the elimination of the series exciter excitation winding from the excitation system [1]. The excitation current feedback is also taken into account.

The Brushless Exciter unit can be used as an exciter in a synchronous generator model with a control system, which is shown in the schematic.
