Synchronous Machine Simulation

This lecture presents a simulator built to mimic the synchronization of a real 250 kV synchronous machine, focusing on stability aspects. The simulator includes features like frequency and voltage display, mechanical turbine control, excitation current, and power generation. Through a step-by-step demonstration, the instructor showcases the process of synchronizing the machine to the grid, highlighting the importance of adjusting parameters such as excitation current and mechanical torque. The lecture delves into the consequences of improper synchronization, including current surges and reactive power issues. By manipulating the simulator, viewers can observe the impact of different settings on the machine's behavior, emphasizing the significance of precise control for stable grid integration.
