An analog AVR has an advantage of short time constant, time to revert again from the abnormal state to a stable one depending on the voltage fluctuations of the load. But the Analog AVR has a disadvantage of large voltage variation according to the load fluctuation. Voltage regulation for digital AVR is very stable, but the time constant is very long compared to that of an analog AVR. Therefore, it indicates that the digital AVR shows unstable output performance in a very large load variations. In this paper, a mixed form of an analog AVR and a digital AVR is proposed. An implemented hybrid AVR has fast time constant and stable voltage regulation capability. Hybrid AVR voltage variations in the load is stable within 1[%] and the voltage stability is also improved. It also showed fast time constant to the level of the analog AVR. Thus hybrid AVR developed in this paper can be used as a power supply for a variety of uses in industry.

To get the constant output, synchronous generator field excitation is controlled by AVR(Automatic Voltage Regulator). Most of ships generator AVR uses the thyristor phase controlled rectifier. However this rectifier is difficult to realize that the fast control system because its control period is slower than MOSFET and IGBT type converter. Therefore, this paper deals with PMG(Permanent Magnet Generator) type digital AVR using MOSFET switch for ships synchronous generator. The composition of this digital AVR is very simple, the generator is under the short circuit accident, the output voltage becomes zero state and AVR can not operate. Thus generator is required to add CBC(Current Boosting Circuit) in an excitation circuit to flow output current. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated on a 10[kVA] experimental prototype circuit in place of real ships generator.

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.

Type of Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) can be divided into Analog and Digital Type. Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) of the synchronous generators of the brushless type are to be reduced to the voltage fluctuation on the basis of the total load.

본 논문에서는 Atmel사의 AVR 칩인 ATmega128을 이용한 AC 파워서플라이의 제어를 제안한다. 제안한 AC 파워서플라이는 풀브리지 구조를 이용하며, 그 부하로는 냉음극형 형광램프(램프)를 적용하였다. 특별히 램프는 부성저항 특성을 가진 부하이기 때문에 제안한 파워서플라이는 안정기 기능을 포함하며, AVR 칩을 이용하여 구조가 간단한 장점을 가진다. 제안한 파워서플라이의 동작특성은 실험결과로 보인다.

Method for regulating voltage using a generator voltage regulating device (AVR) is divided in an existing analog system and a digital replacement. Typically, to adjust the voltage by using a brushless excitation system of the type to be reduced for a voltage change under all. The control method of the AVR as a PID (proportional-integral-differential) control method is widely used. However, the control scheme is to reduce the transient response of the control parameters of the controller to the control object. Therefore, if the control target should change, there is a problem, reset the parameters of the controller again. In this study, without having to reset the parameters of the controller for the parameter variations to be controlled iPID (intelligent PID) using a controller designed to obtain a generator AVR system voltage variation is small in response to full load is applied to and through simulations and experiments improved transient response.
