Description
This module is based on the IEEE Std 412.5 type DC2A excitation system model [1]. The excitation system uses a field controlled DC commutator to the terminal voltage.

Initial Values Mask Parameters
Name | Description | Unit | |
---|---|---|---|
Efd0 | Exciter output voltage initial value | pu |
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.
