Technical Paper: Designing an Excitation System
This presentation will address many of the issues that need to be considered when designing an excitation system. The discussion is aimed at the prime power application, such as a stationary power plant. However, many of the principles can be applied to other applications, such as distributed generation, co-generation, islanded systems, and stand alone machines.
