Abstract
The design and testing of an optimal PID automatic voltage regulator for synchronous machines is treated. The proposed digital PID regulator combines automatic voltage regulation with the function of a power system stabilizer. The PID and stabilizing signal parameters are optimized based on a linear quadratic performance index using the Simplex method. The design of the regulator is achieved directly without using a linearised mathematical model, and only impulse responses of the system are required during the optimization procedure. The microcomputer-based regulator with digital filters has been tested on a laboratory model turbogenerator system. Simulation and experimental results are presented, showing that the regulator provides very good performance, which is superior to that obtained with a conventional automatic voltage regulator with power system stabilizer.
