Description

The IEEEVC compensator model was developed in line with the references [1] [2]. IEEEVC simulates an impedance and allows the machine voltage regulator to sense a calculated voltage at some point other than the terminals of the machine [1]. The model also calculates the compensated reference voltage for the exciter based on the impedance parameters Rc, Xc and the desired machine terminal voltage value.

Inputs and Outputs and Additional Signals Available for Monitoring

Inputs

Name	Description	Unit
Vd	Generator d axis terminal voltage	pu
Vq	Generator q axis terminal voltage	pu
Id	Generator d axis terminal current	pu
Iq	Generator q axis terminal current	pu
Vref	The reference value for machine terminal voltage	pu

Outputs

Name	Description	Unit
Vc1	Compensated terminal voltage	pu
Vrefc	The calculated reference voltage for the exciter considering the compensation	pu

The output Vrefc is calculated based on Rc, Xc and the input Vref, which is the desired value of the machine terminal voltage. This Vrefc signal can be connected to the exciter Vref input. Depending on the type of the synchronous machine, the available machine variables from load flow calculations are different.

If a thermal or hydraulic synchronous machine is used,

If a pu standard synchronous machine is used,

The HYPERSIM simulation option Set Initial Conditions must be checked for the calculation to work properly.
