A diesel generator set (genset) refers to a diesel engine powered electrical alternator. Controls are needed to regulate the electrical output at the nominal voltage (120V RMS) and frequency (60Hz) despite variation in the electrical loads. In this paper, a system model for the genset is developed. A grey-box system model that considers known physical dependence and empirical identification of ...

In this work I have tried to apply effective dedicated online control systems to two equal power systems connected by a long distance tie-line. When large interconnected systems are linked electrically to others by means of tie-lines, the power transfers between them are usually decided by mutual agreement and the power is controlled by regulators. Other side it is a desired feature to achieve ...

This paper focuses on expanding and evaluating an automatic generation control (AGC) system of a hydrothermal system by modelling the appropriate generation rate constraints to operate practically in an economic manner. The hydro area is considered with an electric governor and the thermal area is modelled with a reheat turbine. Furthermore, the integral controllers and electri...

An accident is unexpected, unusual, unintended and identifiable external event which occurs at any place and at any time. The major concern faced by the government and traffic officials is over speeding at limited speed zones like hospitals, schools or residential places leading to causalities and more deaths on the roads. Hence the speed of the vehicles is to be regulated and confined to the l...

Automatic Generation Control (AGC); Proportional Integral Derivative Controller; Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA); Governor dead-band nonlinearity; Generation Rate Constraint (GRC); Sensitivity Abstract An attempt is made for the effective application of Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) to optimize PI/PIDF controller parameters in Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of interconnected pow...

This paper proposes a decentralized nonlinear synergetic governor controller (NSGC) for turbine generators to enhance power system stability by using synergetic control theory and the feedback linearization technique. The precise feedback linearization model of a turbine-generator with a steam valve control is obtained, at first, by using a feedback linearization technique. Then based on this m...

 In many applications within the engineering world, an isolated generator is needed (e.g. in ships). Diesel units (diesel engine and synchronous generator) are the most common solution. However, the diesel engine can be eliminated if the energy from another source (e.g. the prime mover in a ship) is used to move the generator. This is the case for the Shaft Coupled Generator, where the couplin...
