EXDC2


Description

The EXDC2 model was developed in line with the references [1] [2]. Figure 1 shows the architecture of the EXDC2 model [2]. EXDC2 is similar to DC2A, the regulator output limits are proportional to the machine terminal voltage.

The parameter Efd0 can be set manually, by entering a numerical value. It can also be set automatically based on load flow calculations, by entering a referenced synchronous machine variable. For instance, if the name of the synchronous machine on which the excitation system is connected is “SM1”, then Efd0 shall be set as “=SM1.EfdInit” if a thermal machine or a hydraulic machine is used, and as "=SM1.EFD_Init" if a pu standard or pu fundamental machine is used. 

The HYPERSIM simulation option “Set Initial Conditions” must be checked for the automatic initialization to work properly.

Inputs and Outputs and Additional Signals Available for Monitoring

Inputs

NameDescription

Unit

Vc1

Signal proportional to compensated terminal voltage (refer to the load compensator block documentation)

If the load compensator block is not used upstream from the exciter block, then Vc1 is equal to Vt

pu

Vref

Voltage regulator reference voltage

pu

Vs

Combined PSS and possibly discontinuous control output after any limits or switching, as summed with terminal voltage and reference signals

pu

Vuel*

Underexcitation limiter output

pu

Voel*

Overexcitation limiter output

pu

*Vuel and Voel is normally an input to this excitation system but the user has the option to use a fixed constant value directly in the mask by choosing internal in the mask option.
