Abstract
The interactions among the individual machines in a power plant can pose problems in maintaining the quality of power generated at the plant. The individual controllers on each machine are not designed to handle these interactions. Using modal control theory, one method of minimising the machine interactions has been arrived at. First, a detailed model for the plant is constructed and from this, a reduced-order model describing the rotor dynamics of the machines in the plant is formulated. Using the reduced-order model, modal control theory is applied to minimise the machine interactions. Network reduction techniques necessary for the simulation of multi-machine plants are also given.
