13. Excitation system stabilization circuit
Excitation System Stabilizing Circuits:
excitation systems with significant time delays
have poor inherent dynamic performance
unless very low steady-state regulator gain is
used, the control action is unstable when
generator is on open-circuit
series or feedback compensation is used to
improve the dynamic response
most commonly used form of compensation is
a derivative feedback
stablizer
14. Power System Stabilizer (PSS):
• uses auxiliary stabilizing signals (such as shaft speed, frequency, power) to modulate the generator field voltage
so as to damp system oscillations
• PSS are generator control equipment's which are used in feedback to enhance the damping of the rotor
oscillation caused due to small signal disturbance. This disturbance may be caused by the even small change in
the reference voltage of the automatic voltage regulator/exciter which result in ever increasing rotor oscillations
• This can be achieved by modulation the generator excitation so as to develop components of electric torque in
phase with rotor speed deviation. Therefore, it contribute to enhance the small signal stability of the power
