Integrated Generator Excitation Control Systems for Reliable Plant Operations
Power plant generators and associated excitation control systems play a critical role in maintaining grid stability. Damage or the complete failure of an obsolete generator excitation control system can force an unplanned outage, resulting in lost revenue.
The Ovation™ platform offers a native generator exciter and excitation control system with innovative features like high-speed oscillography, dynamic bridge balancing, and an independent field current regulator for all synchronous generators. Integrated power system stabilizer software and a full suite of limiting and protection functions are also available.
How It Works
Excitation Controller and I/O
The Ovation excitation controller cabinet is equipped with a specially designed excitation module featuring high-speed I/O for collecting voltage & current data and an integrated controller that executes the excitation logic.
The excitation controller cabinet also has a standard Ovation controller and I/O modules that collect non-critical data for functions such as starting and stopping the generator. The excitation controller communicates with the network via traditional interface cards.
