Real-Time Control of Synchronous Generator in Island Mode Based on LabVIEW Software for Education Purpose
Author:
Abstract: In the last decades, Personal Computers are becoming powerful with acceptable prices. This has conduct in emergent requests for very sophisticated applications, which not only offer reliable simulations for the dynamic systems, but also to generate codes for real-time control of the electric drives. In this paper is presented a virtual system for monitoring and control of a salient-pole synchronous generator. This synchronous generator is connected to a DC motor acting as a turbine. The system is able to control the motor speed and the voltage of the generator stator windings. It consists of a portable PC and a Desktop PC connected in host/target configuration. The application is created in the LabVIEW environment. This system is fully available for the master degree students of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Tirana and recommended as a low cost alternative for education purpose.
