Regulator
A synchronous generator employs an automatic
voltage regulator (AVR) to maintain the generator
stator terminal voltage close to a predefined
value. If the generator terminal voltage falls due to
increased reactive power demand, the change in
voltage is detected and a signal is fed into the
exciter to produce an increase in excitation
voltage.
The generator reactive power output is thereby
increased and the terminal voltage is returned
close to its initial value.

Exciter
The purpose of an exciter is to supply an adjustable
direct current to the main generator field winding.
The exciter may be a DC generator on small set
sizes. On larger sets, commutation problems prohibit
the use of DC generators and AC generators are
employed, supplying the field via a rectifier. Static
excitation systems are also widely used. These
comprise a controlled rectifier usually powered from
the generator terminals and permit fast response
excitation control.
In all the mentioned cases, the DC supply is
connected to the synchronous generator field via slip
rings.

Load Compensation
The AVR normally controls the generator stator
terminal voltage. Building an additional loop to the
AVR control allows the voltage at a remote point on
the network to be controlled. The load compensator
has adjustable resistance and reactance that simulates
the impedance between the generator terminals and
the point at which the voltage is being effectively
controlled.
Using this impedance and the measured current, the
voltage drop is computed and added to the terminal
voltage.

Power System Stabilizer

The basic function of the power system stabilizer
(PSS) is to add damping to the generator rotor
oscillations by controlling its excitation. The
commonly used auxiliary stabilizing signals to
control the excitation are shaft speed, terminal
frequency and power.
