Abstract
Automated voltage regulators (AVRs) are used on ships and offshore to automatically adjust the voltage based on real-time output voltage readings of the generator engine. Analog-type AVR was previously more commonly used, but is slowly being replaced with digital-type AVR because of increased demands of response time. This study presents a new digital AVR system that contains appropriate features of the AVR with respect to offshore unstable load conditions and poor operating conditions. Furthermore, experiments of load and voltage change prove the excellence of stability and response of the proposed system compared to previous AVR systems. Additionally, an integrated control system for a monitoring the output voltage and field current was developed to easily set the gain value.
