Uses real world case studies to
present the key technologies of design and application of the
synchronous generator excitation system
This book
systematically introduces the important technologies of design and
application of the synchronous generator excitation system, including
the three-phase bridge rectifier circuit, diode rectifier for separate
excitation, brushless excitation system and the static self-stimulation
excitation system. It fuses discussions on specific topics and basic
theories, providing a detailed description of the theories essential for
synchronous generators in the analysis of excitation systems.
Design and Application of Modern Synchronous Generator Excitation Systems provides
a cutting-edge examination of excitation system, addressing
conventional hydro-turbines, pumped storage units, steam turbines, and
nuclear power units. It looks at the features and performance of the
excitation system of the 700MW hydro-turbine deployed at the Three
Gorges Hydropower Plant spanning the Yangtze River in China, as well as
the working principle and start-up procedure of the static frequency
converter (SFC) of pumped storage units. It also expounds on the
composition of the excitation transformer, power rectifier,
de-excitation equipment, and automatic excitation regulator―in addition
to the performance features of the excitation system of conventional
600/1000MW turbines and the excitation system of the 1000MW nuclear
power unit.
