Exciter Model: ESST7B and ST7B

 

Following checks and corrections are applied during Validation and AutoCorrection.

  • If 0.0 < Tr < 0.25*Mult*TimeStep then Tr = 0.0
    ElseIf 0.25*Mult*TimeStep < Tr < 0.5*Mult*TimeStep then Tr = 0.5*Mult*TimeStep
  • If 0.0 < Ts < 0.5*Mult*TimeStep then Ts = 0, ElseIf 0.5*Mult*TimeStep < Ts < Mult*TimeStep then Ts = Mult*TimeStep
  • If Vrmax < Vrmin then swap the values
  • If Vmax < Vmin then swap the values

Mult represents the user-specified value Minimum time constant size as multiple of time step option on the Validation page of the Transient Stability Dialog

TimeStep represents the integration time step being used as described on TimeStep

Following treatment is handled during the transient numerical simulation

  • If Vr > Vrmax, then Vrmax = Vr or if Vr < Vrmin, then Vrmin = Vr
  • If Vref > Vmax, then Vmax = Vref or if Vref < Vmin, then Vmin = Vref
