Abstract :
A novel microcomputer controlled excitation system has been developed at Ganz Ansaldo Electric Ltd. primarily for power plant synchronous generators. The paper introduces the main characteristics of the excitation system: the redundant system configuration; the control functions and structure; the hot standby microcomputer system; the high-level man-machine interface; and diagnostic tools. The prototype excitation system has been tested under power plant circumstances and the results are presented in the paper
