Modelling and Simulation of Synchronous Machine Transient Analysis Using Simulink

Abstract

This work describes a method which illustrates the benefits of the visual aspects of MATLAB/SIMULINK for educational purposes. The method is specially developed for transient analysis of synchronous machines given by a simplified model. Details such as the exciter circuit, turbine and governor systems of a synchronous machine which is linked to an infinitive bus through two equivalent lines are given and this system is implemented in SIMULINK. The considered synchronous machine has a rated power capacity of 160 MVA and rated voltage of 15 kV.
