Exciter Model: AC6C

 

Following checks and corrections are applied during Validation and AutoCorrection.

  • If 0 < Te < Mult*TimeStep then Te = Mult*TimeStep
  • If 0.0 < Tr < 0.5*Mult*TimeStep then Tr = 0, ElseIf 0.5*Mult*TimeStep < Tr < Mult*TimeStep then Tr = Mult*TimeStep
  • If Vrmax < Vrmin then swap the values
  • If EFEmax < EFEmin then swap the values

Mult represents the user-specified value Minimum time constant size as multiple of time step option on the Validation page of the Transient Stability Dialog

TimeStep represents the integration time step being used as described on TimeStep

Following treatment is handled during the transient numerical simulation

  • If EFE > VT*EFEmax, then EFEmax = EFE/VT limits or if EFE< VT*EFEmin, then EFEmin = EFE/VT
  • If Va > Vamax, then Vamax = Va limits or if Va< Vamin, then Vamin = Va
