Synchronous generator matlab simulation

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on creating a closed-loop MATLAB simulation for regulating the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator during overload conditions. The proposed method involves measuring the terminal voltage, converting it to a DC signal via a rectifier, and feeding it to the exciter for field excitation control. Participants confirm that this approach is valid, emphasizing the role of a voltage regulator in maintaining the set point by comparing the measured terminal voltage. Additionally, power system stabilizers are highlighted as tools that adjust the voltage set point to enhance grid dynamics.

I want a closed loop MATLAB simulation for a case study in power grid control: I'm planning to regulate the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator on overloading, by measuring the terminal voltage instantaneously, giving it to a rectifier and feeding the DC signal to the exciter (instead of giving an input signal from a step input) appropriately .So that I can vary terminal voltage by controlling field excitation. Is this right thought/reasonable or correct?

or should I consider speed control using the input supplied..

It will be great if you could comment on this

Well yes. Of course you can. The exciter is controlled by a voltage regulator. The regulator compares measured terminal voltage to the set point.

Power system stabilizers are devices that manipulate the voltage set point for the purpose of influencing grid dynamics.
