Abstract :
A highly interactive computer program is described that enables the student to examine the dynamic performance of a synchronous generator described by a fourth-order model. The facilities provided in this program are intended to improve student understanding of physical system behavior. The program is written in FORTRAN with calls to the ZABLIB library and is implemented on a TI microcomputer that uses the MS-DOS operating system. The algorithms described in this program include eigenvalue tracking and time-response plotting. The different facilities and the associated menus and screens are presented and discussed
