Behavior Analysis of Synchronous Generator Controllers in Distributed Generation Systems

Computer simulations involving electric power systems need to be implemented upon structures that execute actions and which are able to reach specific proposals for switching and control. This very question is incorporated into the underlying proposal of this paper, which is shown through the presentation of an analysis performed using the software Alternative Transients Program, where the two main resources: MODELS language simulation and Transients Analysis of Control Systems were used in order to simulate the performance of the distributed generator controllers under different modes of operation and analyze their influence on the stability of an industrial plant. In those simulated cases, where disturbances were encountered, causing the opening and closing of switching commands, the regulators output signals are modified, thus controlling the behavior of the electrical and mechanical magnitudes associated with the generators. The obtained results show the performance of distributed generator controllers as adequate, in that they guarantee the stability of the industrial system, when responding to alterations in its operating conditions.
