Engineering Design
The beginning of the ABB journey: excitation systems and power system studies.
Timeline
Where it fits
How it works
Measure
Terminal voltage and current from the synchronous machine.
Regulate
Automatic voltage regulator and power system stabiliser.
Convert
Thyristor bridge turns AC into controlled DC.
Excite
Field current builds the generator flux.
Comply
Grid code and stability studies prove the result.
