Parameters

Main

# Exciter field time constant T_e, s — the time constant of the pathogen

Details

The time constant of the pathogen, in seconds.

Typically, the value of the exciter time constant for an electric machine excitation system is 0.3–0.5 s, for a thyristor it is 0.02—0.04 s.

Default value

0.04

Program usage name

T_e

Evaluatable

Yes

# Limits exciter voltage output [Efd_max Efd_min], pu — limits of the output value of the excitation voltage

Details

The maximum and minimum output values of the excitation voltage applied to the excitation circuit of a synchronous machine, in relative units.

When modeling an electric machine excitation system, it is necessary to set the minimum output value to 0, since it does not allow a change in the sign of the excitation voltage.

Default value

[2.0 -2.0]

Program usage name

voltage_exciter_limits

Evaluatable

Yes

Initial Values

# Initial field voltage Efd0, pu — the initial value of the excitation voltage

Details

The desired value of the excitation voltage output is Efd at the initial moment of simulation in relative units.

Default value

1.0

Program usage name

voltage_exciter_start

Evaluatable

Yes
