Introduction to Synchronous Turbine Generators

HYPERSIM provides three different models of synchronous turbine generators: a hydraulic turbine generator, a tandem steam turbine generator and a cross-compound steam turbine generator.

Each synchronous generator model is fully complete and functional by itself. Each model integrates various subsystems such as turbine, excitation system, stabilizer, shaft, etc. Any of those built-in subsystems can be bypassed and replaced by a custom, user-defined subsystem, giving a great flexibility on the modelling aspect.

The icons and diagrams of the hydraulic and thermal turbine generator models are illustrated respectively in Figure 5 - 1.

Only the modular model is provided for the thermal cross-compound turbine generator. However, this modularity is very limited because only the speed regulator can be modelled externally to the turbine generator block. The icon and diagram of the cross-compound turbine generator are shown in Figure 5 - 1.
