Application Introduction
In the typical application shown in Figure 1-1, the CGCM controls the
exciter field of a synchronous generator. CGCM operation, settings,
and safety setup procedures in this manual should be studied before
implementing your application.
Current Transformers
Operating Power
This input allows the CGCM to be controlled remotely via a +/- 10 Vdc
control signal. This signal adjusts the operating point of the active
excitation control mode of the CGCM. A typical use for this input is
with a Power System Stabilizer where adjusting the regulation point of
the generator can create system stability during power system kW
swings.
Control Power
The CGCM operates from a nominal 24V dc power system. The CGCM
power supply will not be damated by reverse connection to the DC
power input.
Communications Ports
The CGCM provides three communication ports. These ports are the
factory calibration port, redundancy port, and ControlNet port.
The factory calibration port is not intended for use by anyone other
than qualified factory representatives.

Functional Description
The CGCM provides multiple analog inputs for use in the regulation
and control of stand-alone and paralleled generator systems. Each of
the inputs, generator voltage sensing, bus voltage sensing, line
Voltages measured through the bus voltage sensing inputs are used
for generator to bus synchronizing and voltage matching. Bus voltage
inputs should be connected using a PT. The inputs can accept signals
with up to 40% THD. In dual breaker synchronizing systems, the
inputs can only be connected for single-phase sensing. In a single
breaker system the inputs may be connected in either single-phase or
three-phase configurations. See Table 2.1 for details on sensing input
configurations.
Bus voltage sensing inputs are located on Terminal Block six (TB6) of
the CGCMs front panel. Each phase is labeled in accordance with its
phase relationship.
Line current inputs are located on Terminal Block three (TB3) of the
CGCMs front panel. Each phase has two positive terminals (one for 1
A inputs and one for 5 A inputs) and a negative terminal. See Table
2.2 for details on how the terminals are labeled.
Crosscurrent
Power Supply
The CGCMs internal power supply generates +12 Vdc, -12 Vdc, +5
Vdc, and –5 Vdc voltage sources for powering the CGCMs internal
circuitry. These voltages are developed from a user provided 24 Vdc
power input connected to the CGCMs control power inputs.
The control power inputs are located on Terminal Block four (TB4) of
the CGCMs front panel. The inputs are labeled BAT(+) and BAT(-).
Chopper PWM
Excitation Outputs
Communications
The CGCM provides three communication ports. These ports are the
factory calibration port, redundancy port, and ControlNet port.
Not for customer use. This port is used to calibrate the CGCM during
factory testing.
ControlNet
Load Sharing
The CGCM provides two open collector outputs. They are the fault
open collector output and the redundancy relay open collector
output.
Memory Circuits
There are three types of memory in the CGCM. They are Flash
Memory, Random Access Memory (RAM), an Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM). Each time the CGCM
is reset or powered up, a memory test is performed to insure system
integrity.
Flash Memory
RAM
EEPROM
Watchdog Timer
Auxiliary Input
Microprocessor
The CGCM uses two 12-bit analog to digital converters. They are used
for voltage and current sensing. The load sharing function uses a
10-bit ADC. Each analog input signal is sampled 96 times per
generator frequency period. The digital signal processor controls the
sample rate.
The CGCM offers four modes of regulation based on its voltage and
current inputs. They are Automatic Voltage Regulation, Field Current
Regulation, Power Factor Regulation, and Reactive Power Regulation.
Var is used to indicate var regulation mode. The value of the vars
being produced by the paralleled machine is used to determine the
correct field current. This is a summing point type of var control.

Figure 2.2 Soft Start Voltage Reference
Soft Start
When the generator frequency drops below the knee frequency for
the underfrequency slope (see Figure 2.3), the voltage setpoint is
automatically adjusted by the CGCM so that generator voltage will
follow the underfrequency slope.
Overexcitation Limit
Two OEL current levels are defined for off-line operation. They are
high and low (see Figure 2.4). The generator can operate
continuously at the low OEL current level and for a programmed time
at the high OEL current level.
Three OEL current levels are defined for on-line operation. They are
high, medium, and low (see Figure 2.5). The high and medium
current levels can be maintained only for a user-defined amount of
time. The generator can operate continuously at the low OEL current
level.

TIME IN SECONDS
In addition to the three current levels, the CGCM also uses two
counters to provide exciter field protection. They are the reset
counter and the time limit counter. At the beginning of a limit cycle,
the reset counter is set to equal the user-defined, high-current time
and the time limit counter begins tracking the amount of time spent in
the limit cycle. During this period of time, excitation current is limited
to the high current level. If the limit condition exceeds the
programmed time for the high current level, the reset counter will be
set equal to the value programmed for medium current limiting and
the time limit counter continues tracking the amount of time spent in
the limit cycle.
If excitation current should fall below the low current value sometime
during the limit cycle, the reset counter will begin counting backwards
from its present value. If it reaches zero, the time limit counter will be
reset to zero and a new cycle can then occur.

If the reset counter does not reach zero before the excitation current
rises above the low current value, the time limit counter will begin
counting where it stopped when the current last fell below the low
current value. If the time limit counter is greater than the
programmed time the excitation field can stay high, the excitation
current will be limited to the medium current value. This prevents
repeated cycling of the exciter field at its highest possible current
value.

Protection
When the field voltage rises above a user-specified level for more than
a definite amount of time, a field overvoltage annunciation will occur.
The field overvoltage threshold is adjustable from 1 to 200 Vdc in 1
Vdc increments, and the time delay is adjustable from 0.1 to 30.0
seconds in 0.1 second increments. Once the field voltage drops
below the threshold, the field overvoltage timer is reset. The field
overvoltage function may be disabled without changing the threshold
or time delay settings.
When the generator voltage rises above a user-specified level for more
than a definite amount of time, a generator overvoltage annunciation
occurs. The generator overvoltage threshold is adjustable from 100 to
140% of rated voltage in 1% increments, and the time delay is
adjustable from 0.1 to 300.0 seconds. 0.1 to 9.9 in 0.01 second
increments. And 10 to 300 in 1 second increments. Once the
generator voltage drops below the threshold, the generator
overvoltage timer is reset.
When the generator voltage falls below a user-specified level for more
than a definite amount of time, a generator undervoltage annunciation
occurs. The generator undervoltage monitor is adjustable from 60% to
100% of rated voltage in 1% increments, and the time delay is
adjustable from 0.1 to 300 seconds in 0.1 second increments from 0.1
to 9.9, and in 1 second increments from 10 to 300 seconds. Once the
generator voltage rises above the threshold, the generator
undervoltage timer is reset. This function is disabled during soft start
timing.
When the generator voltage falls below 15% of the rated generator
voltage, a loss of voltage sensing annunciation occurs. The loss of
sensing function is supervised by the loss of operating power function
and does not become active until operating power reaches its
minimum threshold.
A loss of operating power fault will occur within three cycles if power
to the PMG inputs is lost. This will occur if any of the phases fall
below 10 Vac or if all of the phases become shorted or opened.
When excitation current is lost and the reverse var level exceeds the
rated value for a definite amount of time based on the functions time
delay setting, a reverse var fault is annunciated. The reverse var
function monitors both real and reactive power and exhibits an eight
degree slope. Pickup is selectable between 1 and 100% of the rated
generator VA in 1% increments. The time delay is selectable between
0.10 and 300 seconds in 0.1 second increments. See Figure 2.7 for
details.

Underfrequency (81U)
Synchronizing
Three-Phase Connection
The three-phase output of the generator and all three phases of the
reference system are connected to the CGCM. This allows the device
to match voltage, frequency, and phase of both systems. It also
provides the CGCM with the ability to verify that both systems have
the same phase rotation. This combination of inputs provides the
CGCM with the maximum amount of data and allows it to perform the
most thorough synchronization.
Dual Bus
Single-Phase
Initiating Synchronization
• Initiate Synchronization
• Select Active Bus
• Automatic Synchronization Mode
• Permissive Synchronization Mode
• Check Synchronization Mode
Synchronization Active
The Close Breaker input is asserted after the Voltage Match Error, the
Slip Frequency Error, and the Phase Match Error have all remained
continuously within their respective acceptance windows for the
configured delay time, Acceptance Window Delay.
In the event the active bus and synchronization bus systems are
opposite in phase rotation and phase rotation match detect is enabled,
the synchronization fails. Additional information pertaining to the
cause of the failure is obtained by reading the appropriate data. Phase
rotation match is repeatedly checked when voltage is applied to the
module inputs and whenever synchronization is initiated with phase
rotation match detect enabled.
Load Sharing
The CGCM exhibits two rate of change features that work together to
protect against an unstable system. They are Limit and Rate and are
similar in function.
Units for the limit feature are in volts of change of the loadsharing
output per 50 ms. The load sharing output is updated every 50 ms. If
a system requires a change in the load sharing output voltage, the
limit feature will prevent the change in load sharing output voltage
from exceeding the limit setting. For example, if a change of load
sharing output voltage of 3V dc were required and the limit was set
for .3V dc/50 ms the change would take 10 seconds to complete.
Units for the rate feature are in percent of rated kilowatts per second.
If a system requires a change in kW, the rate feature will prevent the
change in load on the generator from exceeding the rate setting. For
example, if a change of load of 50% were required and the rate was
set for 10%/second, the change would take 5 seconds to complete.
Metering
The CGCM provides true rms metering based on voltage and current
samples obtained from the current and voltage inputs. All monitored
parameters are derived from these values. Table 2.4 lists all metered
parameters and their accuracy. All accuracy’s listed are as a % of full
scale, at 25oC across the frequency range of the controller, at unity
power factor. All metered parameters are displayed via the
ControlNet interface.

Electrical Connections CGCM connections are dependent on the application and excitation
scheme. All inputs or outputs may not be used in a given installation.
Incorrect wiring may result in damage to the unit.
The CGCM terminals should be connected with copper wire rated for
a minimum of 600 volts. General appliance wire is acceptable. The
wire need not be rated for temperatures beyond 70o C (158o F).
CGCM terminals are located on the front, bottom, and right panel of
the unit. The nine-pin connector on the bottom of the unit is used for
communications between CGCMs in a redundant system. Suggested
torque for terminal screws is 9 inch-pounds. Refer to the paragraphs
entitled Connection Diagrams for typical connection diagrams.
Operating Power
PMG Inputs
PMG inputs are located on TB1 of the CGCM’s front panel. The inputs
are labeled PMG A, PMG B, and PMG C, illustrating their respective
phase relationships. Twisted, shielded cabling is required for the PMG
Inputs.
Excitation Outputs

Auxiliary Input
This voltage input signal is used to change the setpoint of the selected
operating mode. An analog voltage (-10 to +10 Vdc) can be applied
and is typically provided by a Power System Stabilizer or a similar
device. Resistive isolation is provided through the use of differential
amplifiers.
The CGCM provides two open collector outputs. They are the fault
open collector output and the redundancy relay open collector
output.
Load Sharing
The CGCM provides load sharing terminals that supply zero to five
volts dc to there LS+ terminal. Load sharing terminals can be
connected directly with a conductor between the LS+ terminals as
well as a conductor between LS- terminals.

generator’s nameplate ratings in the appropriate fields of the
Generator tab.
Transformers Tab
Figure 4.2 illustrates the Transformers tab fields. Bus B applies only
if a dual breaker synchronization configuration is selected. Enter the
voltage transformer (VT) ratings and configuration and the current
transformer’s (CT) ratings in the appropriate fields of the
Transformers tab.
Settings Tabs
Excitation Tab
Figure 4.3 illustrates the setting fields and available selections on the
Excitation tab. Enter the desired soft start initial voltage and start time
values in the appropriate fields of the Excitation tab. Any voltage that
will not allow the 59 device, if available, to trip, may be selected.
Select the type of excitation used. If a PMG is used as the excitation
power source, select either 1 Phase or 3 Phase.
This is the time it will take to go from the Soft Start Initial
Voltage to the nominal generator voltage.
This setting establishes the amount of time the CGCM will take
before the CGCM announces the rotating diodes have a
problem.
Volts/Hz Tab
Figure 4.4 illustrates the fields of the Volts/Hz tab. Enter the knee
frequencies and slope values for the upper and lower volts per hertz
settings in the appropriate fields of the Volts/Hz tab.
The Upper Slope setting establishes the rate at which the V/Hz
characteristic will reduce the generator voltage as a function of
generator frequency. The steeper the slope the faster the prime
mover will be unloaded and smaller the frequency variations
will be experienced during load applications.
The lower Slope setting establishes the rate at which the V/Hz
characteristic will reduce the generator voltage as a function of
generator frequency after the Lower Knee Frequency is
exceeded.
OEL Tab
UEL Tab
Gain Tab
Figure 4.7 illustrates the fields of the Gain tab. Enter the PID and gain
values in the appropriate fields of the Gain tab.
The data entered in the Gain tab are members of the Module Defined
Type - Unscheduled Write. The information necessary to configure the
CGCM is actually contained in the two data types, the Configuration
and the Message Data Write (see CGCM Configuration and Operation
on page 6-1). Selecting the OK or APPLY button on the Gain tab will
cause the software to attempt to download the configuration to the
CGCM. If excitation is disabled, the CGCM will accept the
Configuration data, and then clear the UnschWrRcvd tag. The user
program should be configured such that the clearing of this tag will
cause a MSG instruction to write the Message Data Write data to the
CGCM. The successful completion of this operation would then
complete the changes of the Gain parameters. If excitation is enabled,
the CGCM will reject the Configuration data, and then clear the
UnschWrRcvd tag. Again, the user program should be configured such
that the clearing of this tag will cause a MSG instruction to write the
Message Data Write data to the CGCM. After this MSG instruction
completes, the new Gain parameters will have been successfully
transferred.
The change in set point can be typically 0.1 PF. Observing the
overshoot and settling time and adjusting the following gain settings
will result in the desired performance.
This setting allows the user to adjust the integral gain of the
power factor controller. This setting determines the characteristic
of the dynamic response to a change in the power factor setting.
This setting allows the user to adjust coarse loop gain, which
converts per unit gains to system gains, and overall gain of the
power factor controller. It also determines the characteristic of
the dynamic response to a change in the power factor of the
generator.
Var Controller
This setting allows the user to adjust the integral gain of the Var
controller. It also determines the characteristic of the dynamic
response to a change in the Var setting.
This setting allows the user to adjust the proportional gain of the
Overexcitation limiter. It also determines the response of the
limiter to an overexcitation event.
This setting allows the user to adjust the proportional gain of the
Underexcitation limiter. It also determines the response of the
limiter to an Underexcitation event. Increasing this term
increases the speed of the response of the limiter.
AVR/FCR
If the transient response observed has too much overshoot, reduce the
Kp value. If the overshoot is small and the response too slow increase
the Kp value. Increasing the Ki decreases the time required to reach
steady state. Increasing Kd reduces the ringing due to transient
response. As all of these terms impact the characteristic response, it
necessary to balance all three to obtain the desired generator
response.
This setting allows the user to adjust the proportional gain of the
AVR. It also determines the characteristic of the dynamic
response to changes in generator voltage. Generally if the
transient response has too much overshoot, Kp should be
This setting allows the user to adjust coarse loop gain and
overall gain of the FCR operating mode. It also determines the
characteristic of the dynamic response to a change in the CGCM
output current.
This setting allows the user to adjust coarse loop gain and
overall gain of the AVR operating mode. It also determines the
characteristic of the dynamic response to a change in the voltage
of the generator.
This setting allows the user to adjust the overall gain of the
auxiliary input’s control on the AVR/FCR operating mode. The
units for this are percent of nominal per volt. A setting of one
will result in the controlled parameter being changed by one
percent of the nominal value for each volt applied to the
auxiliary input.
This setting allows the user to adjust the overall gain of the
auxiliary input’s control on the Var/PF operating modes. The
units for the var controller are percent of nominal per volt. A
setting of one will result in the controlled parameter being
changed by one percent of the nominal value for each volt
applied to the auxiliary input. For PF control, the units are
0.01PF per volt. A setting of 5 will result in the regulated PF
being changed by 0.05 for each volt applied to the auxiliary
input.
This setting allows the user to adjust the gain of the cross current
input. The actual value measured by the cross current input is
multiplied by this setting. It can be used to improve the var

that checking the box enables the fault output for that particular fault
occurrence. A fault will always annunciate via ControlNet regardless
of the button position. Checking the boxes only connects the fault to
the fault output relay.
Control Tests
All off-line tests with the turbine spinning should be conducted with
the circuit breaker open.
AVR/FCR Mode

Var
Set the generator below the rated voltage output for this test. Then set
the AVR setpoint above the maximum setting. The system should
alarm. If the system does not alarm, the OEL gain (Ki and Kg) may be
set too low. If the system does alarm, but oscillates, the OEL gain may
be set too high.
To speed performance in the following test, you may increase the OEL
gain (Ki and Kg).
• Set the AVR setpoint at 110% of the rated output. (AVR Max
should remain at 105%.) An alarm status should occur.________
• Return the AVR setpoint to the rated output level. . . ________
This test verifies the overvoltage and undervoltage protection for the
generator and overvoltage and overcurrent protection for the field.
The A-phase current should lag the sensed voltage between Vgen and
C and V Gen B by 90o. The C-phase current should lag the sensed
voltage between V Gen B and V Gen A by 90o. The cross-current B
phase current input should lag the sensed voltage between V Gen A
and V Gen C by 90o.
• Increase the field excitation until the field current reaches 125
percent of the no-load field current setting. . . . . . . . ________
• Enable overexcitation limiting. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ________
• Verify that the OEL response time is within acceptable limits. .
________
• Enter the desired OEL values. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ________
If the response time is too slow, increase the UEL gain (Ki and Kg)
and rerun the test.
Verify that the var setpoint is nulled to the AVR setpoint. In the
following step, be prepared to transfer back to AVR mode if the
excitation voltage increases suddenly.
If necessary, increase the var gain (Ki and Kg) to speed up the
response, and run the test again.
Power Factor Performance Test (To be performed on-line against the bus)
• Verify that the power factor setpoint is nulled to the var setpoint.
If necessary, increase the power factor gain (Ki and Kg) to speed up
the response, and repeat the test.
• Measure the real power load on the generator using the rated
kVA of the generator as the base for generator pu conversion
insure the load share output is the same pu value with it's base
being the output limit setting . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . _________
• The rate limit setting limits the response time of the load share
output. Insure sufficient time is allowed prior to completing the
above measurement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . _________
Exciter Diode Monitor The EDM monitors specific harmonic components present in the field
current. The frequency of the harmonics are proportional to the
Setup system frequency and the ratio between the main and exciter field
poles. During normal operation a three-phase exciter diode bridge
produces a ripple current frequency of 1080 Hz.
Cross Current Testing With the system set to operate in cross current and the cross current
loop opened measure the generator voltage. Apply an inductive load
such that the amount of reactive current through the cross current
input is equal to the rating of the input. The generator voltage should
decrease by an amount equal to the cross current set point.
Reconnect the cross current loop, parallel the machines and apply an
inductive load. Ensure the terminal voltage does not decrease and the
reactive current is shared among the machines.
Synchronization Testing With the system set to operate as desired, verify the metering
provided by the CGCM is correct.
Vary the voltage, phase angle and the frequency differences between
the bus and generator and ensure the CGCM properly responds.
Troubleshooting
No Voltage Build-Up
1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected and that the CGCM is
powered up. Refer to Figure 3-5 through 3-12.
3. If used with a PMG, check for grounded PMG leads. If the PMG
leads are grounded, isolate them from ground. If the PMG leads
are not grounded, proceed to Step 3.
2. Verify that the sensing and input power leads are connected
securely.
3. Open the load share terminals on the CGCM. Apply a real load
to the machine and verify the voltage on these terminals is equal
to the value reported as the kW input load share voltage. If this
is not correct, replace the CGCM. If this is correct, proceed to
step 4.
Synchronization Troubleshooting
2. Verify the inputs to the CGCM are correct. If the inputs are in
error, correct the component associated with the erroneous
input. If no errors were found proceed to step 3.
Metering Troubleshooting
3. Verify the inputs to the CGCM are correct. If the inputs are in
error, correct the component associated with the erroneous
input. If all inputs are correct replace the CGCM.
Using ControlNet
CGCM Configuration and The 1407-CGCM supports five unique Module-Defined data types.
Module-Defined data types are created in RSLogix 5000 when a
Operation module is created in a project. These data types define the structure of
the data used by the module for either their Status, Input Data, Output
Data, or Configuration Data.
The tag from this data type must be user created. (It is
suggested that for each 1407-CGCM, the user create a new
Controller tag using any user-defined name and define it as type
The data in the tag created from this data type is read by the
host controller from the 1407-CGCM via message instructions
executed in the user program.
The Configuration tag contains the data defined by this data type
(the Configuration tag consists of data from the Module-Defined
data types AB:1407_CGCM:C:0 and
AB:1407_CGCM_Unscheduled_Write3).

Configuring the 1407-CGCM When configuring the 1407-CGCM with RSLogix 5000, configuration
data checking is performed as specified by the limits shown in the
data tables (Table 6.3 through Table 6.7). Errors are reported by
dialog boxes displayed by the 1407-CGCM profile.
!
If data is changed via a message instruction, no checking is
performed, and there is no mechanism for reporting an error.
Configuration Process
Device Interface Data The tables in this section show how the assembly object data that is
transferred between the CGCM and the Logix controller is organized.
Tables
Terms
• Spare - Unused now, available for future use. Read spares will
always be set to zero by the CGCM. Write spare data is ignored
by the CGCM.
• Reserved - Used internally by CGCM. Cannot be used for future
use. Read reserve data could be anything (undefined). Write
reserved data is ignored by the CGCM.
• Generator - Output of generator
• Bus - System or grid
• Bus A - Only three phase reference bus, or “one of two” single
phase reference busses
• Bus B - “One of two” single phase reference busses

condition. An example of this would be while operating in
AVR mode the sensing VT fails to open. If the CGCM tracking
mode were allowed to instantly track the full-on condition
created by the loss of sensing, the transfer to the CGCM’s
manual mode would result in an undesirably high generator
voltage even when operating in FCR mode. Adding a
tracking delay allows for the transfer to a different regulating
mode without the allowing the CGCM to follow into a
potentially undesirable operating point.

PF
• Inputs to CGCM
– PF_VAR_Select – This tag allows the user to select PF or VAR
control.
– PF_VAR_En – When this tag is set to a ‘1’, the CGCM uses the
PF_VAR_Select tag to determine its control mode. When this
tag is set to a ‘0’, the CGCM uses the AVR_FCR_Select tag to
determine its control mode.
– PFSetpt - This tag sets the desired power factor setpoint for
operation in the PF control mode.
– PF_Kg - This tag allows the user to adjust coarse loop gain
and overall gain of the power factor controller. It also
determines the characteristic of the dynamic response to a
change in the power factor of the generator.
– PF_Ki - This tag allows the user to adjust the integral gain of
the power factor controller. This tag determines the
characteristic of the dynamic response to a change in the
power factor setting.
– PF_Traverse_Rate - This tag sets the rate at which the PF
mode’s regulation set-point can be adjusted across the
defined adjustment range for the PF.
VAR
• Inputs to CGCM
– PF_VAR_Select – This tag allows the user to select PF or VAR
control.
– PF_VAR_En - When this tag is set to a ‘1’, the CGCM uses the
PF_VAR_Select tag to determine its control mode. When this
tag is set to a ‘0’, the CGCM uses the AVR_FCR_Select tag to
determine its control mode.
– VARSetpt - This tag sets the desired kVAR setpoint for
operation in the VAR control mode.
– VAR_Kg - This tag allows the user to adjust coarse loop gain
and overall gain of the power factor controller. It also

mode’s regulation set-point can be adjusted across the
defined adjustment range for the VAR.
– PF_VARAuxGain - This tag allows the user to adjust the
overall gain of the auxiliary input’s control on the Var/PF
operating modes. The units for the var controlller are percent
of nominal per volt. A setting of one will result in the
controlled parameter being changed by one percent of the
nominal value for each volt applied to the auxiliary input.
For PF control, the units are 0.01PF per volt. A setting of 5
will result in the regulated PF being changed by 0.05 for each
volt applied to the auxiliary input.
• Outputs from CGCM
Soft Start
• Inputs to CGCM
– SoftStart_InitLevel - This tag configures the generator
voltage that will be generated immediately after enabling the
CGCM. This parameter is based on a percentage of the
nominal generator voltage.
– SoftStartTime - This tag configures the time it will take to go
from the Soft Start Initial Voltage to the nominal generator
voltage.

Introduction This appendix contains the mathematical model of the Basler CGCM
excitation systems.
Synchronous Machine The Basler CGCM implements the load compensation by using the
vector sum of the magnitudes of the terminal voltage and of the
Terminal Voltage terminal current. The model provided in IEEE Standard 421.5-1992 for
Transducer and Load terminal voltage transducers and load compensators can be used to
Compensator Model model this function in the Basler CGCM system as shown in Figure
C-1.
The values used in this model can be derived from the Basler CGCM
settings as follows:
XC = [1 - (1 - DRP/100))2]1/2
TR = 5 ms
Voltage Regulator Figure B.2 shows the model of the Basler CGCM excitation system
used with a brush-type rotating exciter. The rotating exciter
parameters are not included in this discussion since they are the
responsibility of the exciter manufacturer. VP is the input from the
power source for the excitation system.
VRLMT = 1.4*VP / VR
The PID gains KP, KI, and KD are custom designed for the best
performance for each generator/exciter system. These continuous
time gains are changed to discrete and implemented in the CGCM
digital controller. The PID gains can either be read from the tables
provided by Basler Electric or can be obtained from a program made
available to the user by Basler Electric.
Figure B.2 Per-Unit Block Diagram for Rotating Rectifier Excitation System
VAR/Power Factor The var/PF controller is a summing point type controller and makes
up the outside loop of a two-loop system. This controller is
Controller implemented as a slow PI type controller. The voltage regulator forms
the inner loop and is implemented as a fast PID controller.
The model of the Basler CGCM var and power factor controller is
shown in Figure B.3 and Figure B.4, respectively. Non-windup limit
(VCLMT) is used for bounding the var/PF controller output voltages
Limiters Both the overexcitation limiter (OEL) and the underexcitation limiter
(UEL) in this implementation are of the summed limiter type as
opposed to takeover type.
Figure B.7 shows the model of the Basler CGCM overexcitation limiter
(OEL). The OEL makes up the inner loop of the voltage regulator and
uses a PI type controller. In this control scheme the actual field current
is compared with a reference field current. The operating
characteristics are designed to mimic the field current short-time
overload capability given in ANSI standard C50.13-1977. The reference
field current is calculated based on the user input parameters as
shown in Figure B.8.
Soft Start Control The soft start control function is provided to cause orderly build-up of
terminal voltage from the residual voltage to the rated voltage in
desired time with minimal overshoot. In CGCM the fast dynamic
response is used while the voltage reference is adjusted based on the
elapsed time. When the system is under startup condition, the voltage
reference is adjusted by the amount calculated based on two
programmable parameters, initial soft start voltage level (VO) and
desired time (TSS) to build up to the rated voltage. Its mathematical
model is shown in Figure B.10. The soft start gain (KSS) is calculated
as follow:
Field Current Regulator Figure B.11 shows the model of the Basler CGCM field current
regulator used with a brush-type rotating exciter. VP is the input from
the power source for the excitation system.
VRLMT = 1.4*VP / VR
The PI gains KP and KI are the same as the PI gains K P and KI for the
voltage regulator, which can either be read from the tables provided
by Basler Electric or can be obtained from a program made available
to the user by Basler Electric.
