ABSTRACT

This thesis i s concerned with the design, construction and t e s t i n g of a prime mover - governor model capable of simulating those components of a large power system. This unit i s to be used as part of a new power system test model. The model has been designed to simulate a prime mover - governor by c o n t r o l l i n g a laboratory-size dc motor through the f i e l d of a booster with allowance being made f o r s e t t i n g up the governor transfer functions, thus obtaining the desired torque and speed responses.

Since most methods of power system analysis neglect ce r t a i n system c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s and since tests on actual systems could be destructive, i t seems desirable to develop a complete power system test model capable of representing a r e a l power system f a i r l y accurately. When the system model i s completed, i t i s hoped that extensive transient s t a b i l i t y t ests can be carried out and r e a l system control techniques developed.

Chapter 2 of t h i s thesis outlines the design of the prime mover - governor model; Chapter.3 describes the r e a l i z ­a tion of the system; and Chapter 5 gives the model tests and r e s u l t s . The test methods and r e s u l t s of machine parameter measurements are included i n Chapter A.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Power System- Studies

Pover system studies have been l a r g e l y l i m i t e d , u n t i l l a t e l y , to the use of ac and dc network analysers and d i g i t a l and analog c o m p u t e r s . Network analysers have proven quite . useful i n load flow studies but are severly l i m i t e d when applied to'transient analysis since some of the system parameters are time-varying under transient conditions. The complete transient response would require a time-consuming step-by-step s o l u t i o n of the system equations. Time-varying parameters can be more e a s i l y dealt with on the d i g i t a l computer. The si z e of the computer may, however, l i m i t the system representation and there may be a compromise necessary between computer time and solution accuracy. Analog computers probably provide the simplest and most rapid method of transient analysis of systems with time-varying parameters. The size of the system under study i s , however, quite l i m i t e d due to the rapid increase of analog com­ponents required with the increasing number of system equations.

A l l the d i f f i c u l t i e s mentioned above may be overcome by conducting tests on the r e a l system. Such tests could pro­vide exact r e s u l t s i n a r e l a t i v e l y short time. The a v a i l a b i l i t y of the system f o r such tests and the _ p o s s i b i l i t y of n e g l i g i b l e damage due to tests are, however, very much i n doubt. I t i s therefore very desirable to construct a test model capable of representing the power system under study reasonably c l o s e l y , of undergoing transient s t a b i l i t y t e s t s , and of allowing d i r e c t on-

l i n e instrumentation and control . 'Micromachine' and 'micronetwork' models have been

(2) (3) developed and designed by Robert i n France, Venikov i n Russia, and Ad k i n s ^ ^ i n Great B i i t a i n to include such e f f e c t s as the damping and saturation as i n r e a l machines and the e x c i t a t i o n and governor controls usually neglected i n system studies. They a l l used small synchronous machines to represent the large generators and small dc motors to represent the prime movers. Some type of negative resistance c i r c u i t was used to obtain the desired f i e l d time constant while desired machine i n e r t i a was obtained by means of an adjustable flywheel. Based on a c r i t e r i a of s i m i l a r i t y of e l e c t r i c a l and mechanical c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s , a power system composed of large machines can thus be represented by much smaller machines.

.One of the projects of the power group at U.B.C. i s to develop a power system test model along s i m i l a r l i n e s to those of the micromachines. This thesis i s pr i m a r i l y concerned with the development of a universal test model to simulate turbine and governing systems of various types and sizes using small labor­atory dc machines. A sp e c i a l analog computer i s designed to allow considerable freedom i n s e t t i n g of desired time constants by simple potentiometer adjustments. Control signals are also r e a l i z e d on the computer to cancel undesired dc machine c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s . The necessity of an adjustable flywheel i s eliminated by the use, of a gain potentiometer on the computer. The model thus constructed allows the simulation of most turbine and governing systems.

The prime mover-governor model, i n conjunction with a *

s o l i d state e x c i t e r and voltage regulator already completed and a generator and transmission system being developed, w i l l provide a complete test model for a large power system.

1.2 Acceleration Equation of the Prime Mover and Governor

The mechanical c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of the power system, the prime mover with governor, are represented by the acceleration equation which r e l a t e s the generator-prime mover acceleration to applied torques (see Appendix I ) . Hovey and Bateman^^, i n t h e i r paper on speed regulation t e s t s , give the per unit acceleration equation as

T pn = m - oun - Am ( l . l ) m r .hi

Eor the l i s t of symbols see page v i i i . The per unit input torque, 'm', depends on the governing

of the unit under study. In the case of a steam plant, Con­cordia and K i r c h m a y e r , i n t h e i r paper on t i e - l i n e and f r e ­quency c o n t r o l , give the speed governor response as a function of only one time constant, T^, where T^ i s the t o t a l time l a g associated with the equivalent governor and steam turbine. The input torque i s

m = T l + T l P) (1 + T l P) ^ C 1' 2)

In the case of a hydraulic plant, the input torque equation i s more complicated due to the effect of water column i n e r t i a . Based cn papers by H o v e y a n d discussions of related papers by Paynter , the equation r e l a t i n g input torque and speed

The modelling of a steam plant should quite e a s i l y follow since i t s input torque-speed r e l a t i o n s h i p , comparing equation (1.2)

with ( 1 . 3 ) , i s much simpler than that of the hydraulic p l t n t . Consideration has been given to other types of prime

movers to simulate the hydraulic turbine: a scaled down hydraulic model, a small synchronous motor, a small induction motor, or a small dc-motor. The scaled hyraulic model i s rejected immedi­at e l y a f t e r consideration of the i m p r a c t i c a l i t i e s involved i n construct/ion. Although the synchronous and induction motors off e r a more p r a c t i c a l s o l u t i o n , overly complex controls would be required i n order to obtain the desired torque-speed character­i s t i c . E l i m i n a t i n g the above mentioned three leaves only the dc motor, as used with the micromachine s y s t e m s 3 ) (4) ^ ^ 0

represent the hydraulic turbine. Chapters 2 ,3 , and 4 of t h i s thesis show the development

and construction of the test model using a dc motor to simulate the hydraulic turbine and governing system and Chapter 5 gives the test r e s u l t s of the model.

2 / ANALYSIS OP THE DC MACHINE EQUATIONS FOR THE

PRIME MOVER - GOVERNOR TEST MODEL

2.1 Torque-Speed C h a r a c t e r i s t i c of a DC Motor i n Series with

a Booster

The reason f o r choosing a dc motor to simulate the

hydraulic turbine i s that adequate speed and torque c o n t r o l

can be r e a l i z e d f a i r l y simply over a wide range. There are

three main methods of c o n t r o l l i n g the speed of the dc motor:

by varying armature r e s i s t a n c e , by varying the e x c i t a t i o n ,

and by varying the armature terminal v o l t a g e . Consider

equation (2.1) f o r the separately excited dc motor of Figure 2.1.

F i g . 2-1 Separately Excited DC Motor

Vt = R i

co = the mechanical angular spewed of the machine wL -p = the speed voltage c o e f f i c i e n t

= a c o e f f i c i e n t defined from the speed voltage coeff. and the mechanical angular speed

R = armature resistance i ^ = armature current

= e x c i t a t i o n current = armature terminal voltage

I t can be seen that the speed may be c o n t r o l l e d by varying Y^,

R, or i-p. To achieve speed control by varying resistance i n the armature c i r c u i t requires mechanical devices such as a manually operated rheostat which may r e s u l t i n discrete rather than continuous c o n t r o l . Although speed control of the motor can be achieved by varying the f i e l d current, the control required to obtain the desired torque-speed c h a r a c t e r i s t i c would be very complicated. This leaves the control of voltage across the armature of the dc motor as the only means by which to obtain the desired torque-speed c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of the hydraulic prime mover.

Armature voltage control i s r e a l i z e d by connecting a booster i n series with the armature- of the dc motor. Given a constant l i n e voltage, the voltage across the armature of the dc motor Is varied by c o n t r o l l i n g the output voltage of the booster which i s achieved by adjusting i t s f i e l d voltage.

The system equations f o r Figure 2.2 are examined i n order to determine the exact form of control necessary to r e a l i z e the

desired c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s . Consider again equation ( 2 . l ) , s l i g h t l y altered to include the booster and a loa d - s e t t i n g

and Aco, Av^, and AL are small perturbations from the steady state. In the torque equation ( 2 . 9 ) , i s a variable which i s available f o r control purposes.

I t now becomes necessary to relate the torque-speed c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of the turbine to that of the dc motor and, i n some manner, to impart'.to the dc motor the same c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s as those of a hydraulic turbine.

2.2 Determination of the Booster F i e l d Voltage, Av^

The accelerating torque equation f o r a hydraulic turbine

under small load v a r i a t i o n s may be wr i t t e n i n per unit quantities (see also Appendix I) as

Tm IT = & ( p ) H ( p ) ( - n ) -«Rn - Am (2.10;

I •rr = accelerating torque which i s zero under m steady state conditions

G(p)H(p)(-n) = input torque change to the hydraulic turbine due to the speed change

oc n = damping torque on the hydraulic turbine Am = torque change due to generator load

v a r i a t i o n s

The governor transfer function G-(p) has a number of forms (see Appendix I I I ) the simplest of which being

1 + T p G(p) = — (2.11a)

<5T p and the hydraulic operator H(p) has the form (see Appendix II)

In order to r e a l i z e the torque-speed c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of a hydraulic turbine with a mechanical governor on a dc motor with series booster, the two sets of values, I , Am, and n i n

' ' m' ' equation (2.10) and J, A L , and AGO i n . equation ( 2 . 9 ) , are treated analogously. A gain factor a i s introduced to take care of di f f e r e n t units of equation (2.9), i n M K S , and equation (2.10)

This currentmay be obtained by adjusting either the load-setting r e s i s t o r i n the armature c i r c u i t or the booster armature voltage or both.

3. . PROPOSED PRIME MOVER - GOVERNOR TEST MODEL

The proposed simulation of the hydraulic turbine and governor by a dc motor with controls i s made up of s i x parts; the speed error c i r c u i t and f i l t e r , the hydraulic operator and governor transfer function simulator, the dc motor torque compensator, the booster f i e l d time constant compensator, the f i e l d current a m p l i f i e r , and the dc motor and booster including the l oad-setting r e s i s t o r and dc tachometer, which are described i n the following sections.

Since Av^ i s r e a l i z e d on a specialized analog computer, Aw,is required as a voltage s i g n a l .

A-voltage si g n a l proportional to the speed of the generator-turbine model i s obtained from a small SERVO-TEK dc • tachometer mounted through gears to the shaft of the synchronous generator. The tachometer has a voltage output of 20„8 v o l t s per thousand rpm and, hence, 37.44 v o l t s at the synchronous speed, 1800 rpm or 188.5 rad/sec. The gearing of the tachometer to the

16

genera'tor shaft increases the speed of the tachometer by a factor of 2 . 5 . I t s voltage output i s thus increased to 9 3 . 5

v o l t s for the model running at synchronous speed. The output of the tachometer now requires a m u l t i p l i c a t i o n f a c t o r of 2.012, (188.5 / 9 3 . 5 ), i n order that the speed voltage l e v e l be read d i r e c t l y i n rad/sec ( l v o l t = 1 rad/sec). The reason f o r mechanically increasing the tachometer speed i s to reduce the m u l t i p l i c a t i o n f a c t o r and the accompanying gain i n noise l e v e l of the operational a m p l i f i e r s .

By increasing the tachometer s i g n a l by a. constant factor (k-^ - 1.006) and applying i t to 'a comparator, which i s an operational a m p l i f i e r summer, along with a reference s i g n a l , one hal f the speed error s i g n a l i s obtained.

Since the d i v i s i o n a l method provides a simple means of parameter adjustment by s e t t i n g potentiometers, the method i s adopted.

These voltage drops create a dead zone of approximately 2 v o l t s at zero input. There also e x i s t s an output voltage offset of approx-1- • imately -0.3 v o l t s f o r zero input due to the leakage current of the PNP t r a n s i s t o r s . By placing the current a m p l i f i e r inside the feedback loop of the operational a m p l i f i e r and'by turning the NPN t r a n s i s t o r s s l i g h t l y on, the zero voltage offset i s corrected to approximately +0.1 v o l t s and the d i s c o n t i n u i t y at the zero crossing Is reduced to zero. The test r e s u l t s are shown In Figure 3.7.

The current a m p l i f i e r i s protected to some extent by the current l i m i t i n g c i r c u i t and by fuses i n the power supplies.

3.6 Power Supplies

Three power supplies are required f o r operation of the prime mover - governor model, two f o r the operational amplifiers and reference voltage signals, and one for the booster f i e l d a m p l i f i e r , i n addition to the dc motor-booster power supplies.

Power supply 1 provides a well-regulated, low noise + 120 v dc supply f o r the 100 v operational amplifiers and also provides + 120 v dc as required for the speed s i g n a l reference. Power supply 2 provides a well-regulated low noise + 15 v dc supply for the 10 v operational a m p l i f i e r s . Both power supplies were obtained commercially.

Power supply -3 i s designed and constructed to provide a + 62 v dc supply for the booster f i e l d current a m p l i f i e r . The

26

p o s i t i v e and negative voltages are obtained from two i d e n t i c a l c i r c u i t s , see Figure 3.8, and only one of the c i r c u i t s w i l l be examined. The transformer supplies 70 v ac, stepped down from the 120v ac bus, to the r e c t i f i e r bridge. The f i r s t stage of f i l t e r i n g f o llowing the r e c t i f i e r bridge i s provided by capacitor C- . Capacitor 0^, at the output of the regulator, provides a second stage of f i l t e r i n g . High frequency noise from the 120v ac bus i s suppressed by capacitors C- while high frequency noise at the output of the supply i s suppressed by capacitor C^'.

The reg u l a t i n g c i r c u i t between the two f i l t e r i n g stages acts to maintain a constant supply voltage independent of the load. The output voltage of the regulating c i r c u i t i s clamped by the zener diode D which i s connected to the base of the t r a n s i s t o r Q . The base current to i s provided by the r e s i s t o r R . To obtain the necessary current gain, two t r a n s i s t o r s are connected i n a Darlington configuration.

Overcurrent protection i n the event of a short c i r c u i t e d output i s provided by r e s i s t o r R^and the diode D . Excessive current through the r e s i s t o r R w i l l forward bias the diode & p thus d i v e r t i n g current from the base of t r a n s i s t o r and thus l i m i t i n g the outputs of both t r a n s i s t o r s . R^ i s calculated from the diode c h a r a c t e r i s t i c .

A surge r e s i s t o r R i s inserted i n series with capacitor C- i n order to eliminate the p o s s i b i l i t y of damage to the bridge diodes and the capacitor from the transient voltage surge when the power supply i s f i r s t energized. Capacitor i s protected by the overcurrent c i r c u i t . Resistors R-g are placed across the f i l t e r i n g capacitors for discharging when the supply i s de-energized.

The dc motor f i e l d i s separately excited with a constant current of 0.5 amps and the armature i s connected i n series with the booster and the load-setting r e s i s t o r . The source supply i s 230v dc. The dc motor i s part of a Tamper Set which consists of an induction machine, a dc machine, and a synchronous machine mounted on the same stand with flange couplings allowing them to be connected together. The i n e r t i a of the dc motor-synchronous generator set i s increased by including the rotor of the induction machine through coupling.

The booster i s driven by an induction motor and i s separately excited by the booster f i e l d voltage s i g n a l v^ which provides a variable e x c i t a t i o n . The speed of the induction motor varies only from 1796 rpm at no load to 1794 rpm at f u l l load and i s therefore deemed constant.

While the current v a r i a t i o n response i s the same f o r the various load l e v e l s , the i n i t i a l current depends on the load. Figure 5.7 shows the booster f i e l d voltage responses to the 50 per­cent load r e j e c t i o n s . The magnitude of the response shows a decrease with the increase i n i n i t i a l load.

5.4 Real Model Tests

The actual model, shown schematically i n Figure 3 .9 , has been tested f o r steady state and load r e j e c t i o n .

Figure 5.8 shows the steady state A c o / 2 s i g n a l of the prime mover - governor model. The maximum speed error shown i s approximately 0.05 v o l t s i n 94.25 v o l t s .

Figure 5.9 shows the transient speed response of the model" to a load r e j e c t i o n of '30 percent from an i n i t i a l load of 30 percent. The same governor as used by Hovey and mentioned i n section 5.1 and 5.2 has been set up on the s p e c i a l analog computer of the model fo r the t e s t . Run 1 shows the test r e s u l t with the dc motor, booster and load-setting r e s i s t o r simulated on the Pace Analog Computer and with the s p e c i a l analog computer of the model interconnected with i t . Run 2 shows the test run of the actual model including the s p e c i a l analog computer and the actual dc motor, booster and load-setting r e s i s t o r . The load i s obtained by loading the synchronous generator u n t i l the dc motor armature current reaches the predetermined value and Is rejected by open c i r c u i t i n g both the armature and f i e l d of the synchronous generator.

Figure 5.10 shows s i m i l a r load r e j e c t i o n test r e s u l t s .

59

In. t h i s case, however, the governor t r a n s f e r f unction as given

i n equation (5.5) has been used with a s e l f r e g u l a t i o n coef­

f i c i e n t of a R = 1.0 and a permanent speed droop of <r=0.05.

The time constants and parameter values are l i s t e d i n the

The curves of both Figures 5.9 and 5.10 show a d i s ­

the r e a l model and the analog. These discrepancies most

probably a r i s e as a r e s u l t of unavoidable errors i n the measure­

6. CONCLUSIONS

62

A prime mover - governor model has been designed,

constructed and tested as part of a new power system te s t

model. I t has been shown that i t i s capable of reproducing the

torque-speed c h a r a c t e r i s t i c of a large prime mover - governor

system. The model has been designed with a laboratory size dc

motor and a booster and i s capable of a t t a i n i n g the desired

response without the necessity of an adjustable flywheel as

required by previous micromachines.

Certain r e s t r i c t i o n s are placed on the model by the

equipment used. The maximum speed deviation i s l i m i t e d to

approximately 10 percent by the lOv operational a m p l i f i e r s

and the booster f i e l d voltage s i g n a l i s l i m i t e d to 60 v o l t s .

Test r e s u l t s i n d i c a t e that the model i s capable of carrying

out s t a b i l i t y t e s t s , up to f u l l load r e j e c t i o n f o r a few

seconds p r i o r to load r e a p p l i c a t i o n . Beyond the 10 percent

maximum speed deviation the model i s no longer v a l i d due to

system n o n l i n e a r i t i e s such as the nonlinear turbine character­

i s t i c s mentioned i n Appendix I and r e l a y valve saturation

mentioned i n Appendix I I I .

The governing system of the present model i s capable

of r e s o l v i n g speed deviations of 0.05 percent. I t i s f e l t that

steady state performance can be improved through the use of a '

l e s s noisy and more accurate tachometer. With an improved

r e s o l u t i o n i n small speed de v i a t i o n s , nonlinear governor e f f e c t s

such as dead band and hysteresis may be incorporated into the

model i f required.

Consider f i r s t the r e l a t i o n between the p i l o t valve movement and the actuator piston movement. The v e l o c i t y of the actuator piston i s proportional to the p i l o t valve p o s i t i o n as long as the p i l o t valve p o s i t i o n does not cause the piston v e l o c i t y to saturate. From Figure I I I - 2 , the r e l a t i o n s h i p between p i l o t valve p o s i t i o n and piston v e l o c i t y i s
