Transient simulation technique for studies of self-excited generator systems

This paper presents a digital simulation technique which may be used to study the operations of self-excited generator systems with arbitrary external switching network configurations and to analyze the system transient responses under various system conditions. Using this technique, a mathematical model of the self-excited generator system can be formulated in a generalized, detailed, and compact form. Results from the numerical verifications presented in the paper also illustrate the convenience of this simulation technique.
