Excitation systems for synchronous machines
About excitation systems
Excitation systems, controlled by microprocessor voltage regulator type DARP, are based on Institute’s own hardware and software solutions. The development is based on over 80 years of activities on the area of electronics and regulation and 30 years of applying microprocessor digital control technology. Excitation systems manufactured in the Institute are operating in over 50 generators.
Excitation systems are produced for synchronous generating units in termal and hydro power plants of different capacities from couple of kW, up to several hundreds of MW. Excitation systems are also produced for synchronous motors in different industrial facilities.
Excitation system types
Excitation systems can be of different type:
- AC type excitation systems
- DC type excitation systems
- Static excitation systems
- Brushless excitation systems
Now the most popular type are static excitation systems for medium and large generators and brushless excitation systems for small and medium generators.
