Description / Abstract:
This guide includes criteria, definitions, and test procedures
for evaluating the dynamic performance of excitation control
systems as applied by electric utilities. Primary purposes are to
provide a basis for evaluating closed-loop performance of
excitation control systems (including both the synchronous machine
and its excitation system) for both large and small signal
disturbances; confirming the adequacy of mathematical models of
excitation systems for use in analytical studies of power systems;
specifying methods for performing tests of excitation control
systems and their components; and preparing excitation system
specifications and additional standards. Portions of this guide
will also serve as an educational means for people becoming
acquainted with excitation control systems.
