Features

• It leverages a sophisticated assembly standardized hardware components, meticulously engineered to handle voltage limitation and suppression tasks effectively. This internal architecture ensures robust protection against voltage fluctuations and electrical surges, safeguarding the system's integrity and longevity.
• The replacement board is meticulously designed to provide identical functionality to its predecessor, ensuring seamless compatibility between old and new boards. Moreover, the new board can be installed in the same position within the board rack, with installation holes perfectly aligned with matching holes in the rack. This streamlined installation process minimizes downtime and simplifies maintenance procedures, allowing for swift and efficient upgrades or replacements.

System Software

• The software design of the exciter application represents a sophisticated approach to control system emulation, leveraging an open architecture system and a library of existing software blocks. These blocks, each tailored to perform specific functions, form the building blocks of the software, enabling the implementation of complex control systems with ease and flexibility.
• At its core, the software utilizes an open architecture system, which fosters modularity and adaptability by allowing for the incorporation of various software blocks. These blocks encompass a diverse range of functionalities, including logical AND gates, proportional integral (P.I.) regulators, function generators, and signal level detectors. Each block is designed to execute a specific task, thereby enabling the emulation of traditional analog controls within a digital framework.
• The integration of these software blocks follows a pattern wherein they are interconnected to implement complex control systems. For instance, to incorporate a control function such as the under-excitation limit (UEL), software jumpers are configured in the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM). This process enables the relevant blockware to be enabled, with inputs directed to specific Random Access Memory (RAM) locations where the inputs are stored. In the case of the UEL, inputs such as megawatts, kilovolts, and megavars are utilized. The output of the UEL block is then directed to an input of the alternating current (AC) regulator summing junction, thereby completing the integration of the control function into the overall system.
• The execution of these software blocks is orchestrated by the block interpreter, which operates according to a predefined order and execution rate defined in the toolbox. This sequential execution ensures that the control system operates efficiently and reliably, with each block fulfilling its designated role in a timely manner.
