IEEE SCL1C model
Context
This stator current limiter model first appeared in the IEEE Std 421.5-2016 (of Electrical & Engineers, 2016).
Model use, assumptions, validity domain and limitations
This model is associated to one of the voltage regulators (types AC, DC, ST) defined by the IEEE Std 421.5-2016 (of Electrical & Engineers, 2016).
The model provides two stator current limiter signals (one for overexcitation, the other for under excitation) for the purpose of takeover : the stator current limiter signals act as upper and lower limits (respectively) on the voltage regulator main signal which then becomes the excitation voltage.
Model inputs and outputs
The input signals are :
Variable | Description | Unit |
---|---|---|
itPu | Complex stator current | pu (base SnRef, UNom) |
QGenPu | Reactive power generated by the synchronous machine | pu (base SnRef) |
utPu | Complex stator voltage | pu (base UNom) |
QGenPu follows the generator convention.
The output signals are :
Variable | Description | Unit |
---|---|---|
USclOelPu | Stator current overexcitation limitation output voltage | pu (base UNom) |
USclUelPu | Stator current underexcitation limitation output voltage | pu (base UNom) |
Model parameters
Parameter | Description | Unit | Value (set 1) | Value (set 2) | Value (set 3) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
IqMinPu | Dead-band for reactive current | pu (base SnRef, UNom) | 0 | 0 | 0.1 |
ISclLimPu | SCL terminal current pick up level | pu (base SnRef, UNom) | 1.05 | 1.05 | 1.05 |
K | SCL timing characteristic factor | pu | 1 | 1 | 1 |
KiOex | SCL integral gain (overexcited range) | pu | 0.2 | 1 | 0.0303 |
KiUex | SCL integral gain (underexcited range) | pu | 0.2 | 1 | 0.0303 |
KpOex | SCL proportional gain (overexcited range) | pu | 0 | 0.1 | 0 |
KpUex | SCL proportional gain (underexcited range) | pu | 0 | 0.1 | 0 |
Sw1 | Reactive current/reactive power selector | - | true | true | false |
Sw2 | Fixed-time or inverse time selector | - | true | false | false |
tDScl | Fixed-time delay after pickup | s | 0 | 10 | 0 |
tInv | Inverse time delay after pickup | s | 30 | 0 | 0 |
tIt | Terminal current transducer equivalent time constant | s | 0.005 | 0.005 | 0.1 |
tQScl | Reactive current transducer equivalent time constant | s | 0 | 0 | 0.02 |
VSclDb | Dead-band for reactive power or power factor | pu (base SnRef) | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.1 |
VSclMaxPu | SCL upper integrator limit | pu (base UNom) | 1 | 0.3 | 0.2 |
VSclMinPu | SCL lower integrator limit | pu (base UNom) | 0 | 0 | -0.1 |
The parameter sets correspond to a stator current limitation :
- 1 : with an inverse time characteristic based on the reactive current of the generator;
- 2 : with a fixed time characteristic based on the reactive current of the generator;
- 3 : based on the reactive power output of the generator.
Model diagram
The input “ISclErrPu or 0” of the OEL switch is determined as follows :
if (not Sw2 and (ISclErrPu > 0 for a duration > tDScl)) or (Sw2 and ISclInvPu > 0) if QGenPu > VSclDb input = ISclErrPu else input = 0 else input = 0
The input “ISclErrPu or 0” of the UEL switch is determined as follows :
if (not Sw2 and (ISclErrPu > 0 for a duration > tDScl)) or (Sw2 and ISclInvPu > 0) if QGenPu < -VSclDb input = ISclErrPu else input = 0 else input = 0
