A synchronous generator is equipped with an automatic voltage regulator(AVR), which is responsible for keeping the output voltage constant under normal operating conditions at various levels. The output voltage of Synchronous Generator is regulated constantly by field voltage control in excitation system. High frequency PWM converter (Buck converter) type excitation system for synchronous generator that can sustain prefer output voltage level even at the fault condition happened. The proper operation of the proposed excitation system was verified through the simulations and the experiments.

Campus microgrid is designed and built by considering not only power generation but also power consumption management as connected microgrid type because the main goal of the campus microgrid is to save power consumption costs. There are many functions to achieve the goal and they are mainly to use generation-based functions such as islanding operation for peak management and for emergency events. In power distribution operation, Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR) is applied in order to reduce power consumption. The CVR is defined as a function for load consumption reduction by voltage reduction in order to reduce peak demands and energy consumption. However, application of CVR to microgrid is difficult because the microgrid cannot control a tap of transformer in a substation and the microgrid normally is not designed with phase modifying equipment like a step-voltage-regulator which can control voltage in power distribution system operation. In addition, an impact of the CVR is depended on load characteristics such as a normal load, a rated power, and synchronous motors. Therefore, this paper proposes an application of CVR using linear voltage control based AVR in campus microgrid with power consumption reduction considering characteristics of load and component in the microgrid. The proposed system can be applied to each buildings by a configuration of power distribution cables; and the application results and CVR factor are presented in this paper.

The terminal voltage of a synchronous generator is maintained by the field current control of excitation system. Generally AC/DC converter which is component of AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator) system for excitation current control is connected to diode rectifier and DC/DC converter system. In the case of diode rectifier system of phase controlled converter as AC/DC converter have low power factor and harmonics of lower order in the line current. In this paper, two stage three phase PWM AC/DC converter is studied to solve these problems. The characteristics of a proposed converter reduces the harmonics and reactive power of the distribution line and has fast dynamic response in transient period using boost converter and current control mode buck converts. The proposed method is verified by the computer simulation and experimental results in prototype generation system.

저전력에 사용되는 Flyback 컨버터에서는 일반적으로 트랜스포머의 보조권선을 통하여 구동 IC에 필요로 하는 전력을 공급한다. 하지만, USB PD와 같이 5~20V의 넓은 출력전압을 가지는 경우 IC Vcc 정격 전압을 위하여 Linear regulator 사용이 필수적이나, 이는 소자발열 및 시스템 효율을 저하시킨다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 출력전압 변동에 따라 변압기의 보조권선을 변환 시키는 회로를 제안하고자 한다.

This paper presents a high-efficiency low-power permanent magnet (PM) generator for the power supply of the generator exciter. In the conventional generator system, the power for the exciter is fed by the generator output power or an emergency battery for the starting. The proposed low-power PM generator can generate the proper power and voltage to excite the exciter field winding. According to the starting of the generator, the designed PM generator can supply the constant voltage to the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), then it can be used to control of exciter field current for the generator. Because of the designed PM generator which is placed inside the conventional generator system, the emergency battery and Potential Transducer(PT) for AVR can be removed. Thus, the total efficiency can be improved. The proposed generator system is tested in the practical system. And the efficiency characteristic is analyzed.

We have designed and fabricated the slidacs type automatic voltage regulator(SVR) that is able to control the output voltage continuously according to load variation. Especially, the frictions between the surface of contact of the slidacs coils and the output wire moving shaft arc reduced by modifying the mechanical configuration of surface of contact of slidacs from the conventional sliding one into the proposed rotary one composed of cylindrical bearing. Thus, SVR using cylindrical bearing proposed in this study has less noise than the conventional one owing to the reduction of friction, and its breakdown ratio caused by the abrasion of contact materials is reduced as well. We have designed U motor driving circuit for controlling the output wire moving shaft, and introduced the digital control method using the pulse width modulation(PWM) output for controlling DC motor.
