Non-invasive identification of turbogenerator parameters from actual transient network data

Abstract

Synchronous machines are the most widely used form of generators in electrical power systems. Identifying the parameters of these generators in a non-invasive way is very challenging because of the inherent non-linearity of power station performance. This study proposes a parameter identification method using a stochastic optimisation algorithm that is capable of identifying generator, exciter and turbine parameters using actual network data. An eighth order generator/turbine model is used in conjunction with the measured data to develop the objective function for optimisation. The effectiveness of the proposed method for the identification of turbo-generator parameters is demonstrated using data from a recorded network transient on a 178 MVA steam turbine generator connected to the UK's national grid.
