Synchronous Generator transient response problem

In summary, the generator transient response shows a period of time where the highest known frequency component is greater than 50 Hz. The code asks for help to scale the signal to match the generator's 50 Hz output voltage.

Hi , Hope someone could offer me a solution to this piece of code, the code below shows a period in time of a synchronous generator transient response, My scaling is the problem as I am not getting 50 Hz 230 volts, your help would be appreciated..

My efforts so far are

% Transient Response of Generator


%clear all;
%close all;

%Highest known frequency component > 50 Hz

% set appropriate signal variables
fs = 150;
T = 1/fs;
N = 400;
n = 0:N-1;
t = n*T;
fax = (0:N/2) * (fs/N);

% Discrete signal
x = (D5(2000:5000));
subplot(211)

% Plot discrete signal
subplot (211);
plot (x);
title('Syn Generator Transient Window','FontSize',14);
xlabel('Samples', 'FontSize',12);
ylabel('Amplitude','FontSize', 12);

%Plot DFT
subplot(212)
X = abs(fft(x));
stem(fax,(2/N) * X(1:N/2+1));
title('DFT','FontSize',14);
xlabel('Frequency [Hz]','FontSize',12);
ylabel('Magnitude','FontSize',12);

>> I have added the data file in exel format, it is 3000 samples long, this would be 1.5 seconds of a larger time set.

>>Just to note i am using the per unit (pu) system on my model, so this is why the time domain shows -1000 to 1000, all the time domain graphing is correct, its the fft that has me confused.com!Thanks in advance

Related to Synchronous Generator transient response problem

What is a synchronous generator?

A synchronous generator is a type of electric generator that operates by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is commonly used in power plants to produce electricity for homes, businesses, and industries.

What is the transient response problem in synchronous generators?

The transient response problem in synchronous generators refers to the behavior of the generator during sudden changes in load or disturbances in the power system. It can result in voltage and frequency fluctuations, which can affect the stability and reliability of the power system.

What factors affect the transient response of a synchronous generator?

Several factors can affect the transient response of a synchronous generator, including the generator's design, the type of load, and the operating conditions. The generator's rotor inertia, excitation system, and control system also play a significant role in its transient response.

How is the transient response of a synchronous generator improved?

The transient response of a synchronous generator can be improved by using advanced control strategies, such as excitation control and governor control, to regulate the generator's output. Additionally, proper maintenance and regular testing can help identify and address any issues that may affect the generator's transient response.

What are the consequences of poor transient response in synchronous generators?

Poor transient response in synchronous generators can lead to voltage and frequency instability, which can cause power outages and damage to electrical equipment. It can also result in inefficient use of the generator's capacity and increased maintenance costs.
