- Abstract
An Arduino-driven power supply was applied to control the electromagnetic field of a synchronous machine experimented in this work. Typically, electromagnetic field was controlled by adjusting the field current. In this work, the field was directly controlled by regulating voltage source of the exciter using pulse width modulation signal. In the development of this emulator, an AC induction motor was used to mimic the prime mover of the generator system, coupled with synchronous electric generator. Various loads were utilized to capture responses of the developed controller. These loads included induction motor, lightings, and combinations of resistors and inductors for emulating different power factors of the loads. The proportional integral differential (PID) control was adopted in the emulator and capable of emulating various models of generator voltage controller. Different PID settings were exercised in the laboratory. Results of the experiment using some loading conditions showed this kind of excitation method is capable of mimicking the real synchronous generator excitation system. Since various models of generator unit may be used in the power plant and each of them has particular characteristics of response, this emulator also has the capability to follow that response characteristic by adjusting the PID parameters.
