Abstract
The proposed algorithm is based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and a software-based synchronous sampling technique that is locked to the power system frequency using reconfigurable field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The main purposes of this paper are to provide a new method of recording the high-resolution rotor angle of a synchronous machine and a practical method for deriving more accurate d-q- axis synchronous machine parameters. An FPGA is used in realizing the rotor-angle transducer and it simultaneously detects the frequency of the generator terminal voltage. The DFT algorithm is combined with an interpolation technique that downsamples the high-frequency sampled data using the measured power system frequency. This paper also describes a practical method for determining synchronous machine model parameters. The proposed algorithm for recording the generator dynamics was implemented in terms of Labview, Real-Time PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation (PXI) target, and the FPGA, and was applied to generator testing of a 1205-MVA thermal power unit. Its synchronous machine parameters were also derived using the recorded rotor angle.
