Comparative analysis of different types of generator voltage controllers

In this paper a comparative analysis of different types of synchronous generator voltage controllers is presented. Traditional regulation structures, based on PID type controllers are taken into consideration. A new type of voltage controller, based on Forced Dynamics Control is proposed. In contrary to traditional control structures or fuzzy controllers, FDC is a model-based control technique. The controllers were implemented in Models part of the ATP-EMTP program code. Basing on data obtained from simulations conducted using ATP-EMTP program, the performance of presented control structures in various configurations is analyzed, evaluated and compared.
