Fast transfer test of power station auxiliaries

There has been much work done concerning the analytical and theoretical analysis of bus transfers, most of this pertaining to the induction motor during transients; however, very little has been published presenting experimental data of such a transfer. In this paper data is presented which was taken during and after a bus transfer on a 450 MW fossil fired unit. The data shows the validity of the models, but also indicates that the synchronous motor is more of a concern than previously thought.
