Abstract
It is a complex problem to find a faithful mathematical representation for a synchronous electric generator due to the large number of circuit parameters involved, the inherent non-linearities and the high degree of coupling between the variables. Such a mathematical model is required for analytical study of power systems. A multivariable mathematical model provides a convenient means of system identification as well as a significant simplification in analytical studies of control engineering problems.
This thesis presents a "black box" approach to the problems of evaluating the multivariable transfer functions of a generator unit using step input test signals. It is shown that the multivariable model can be deduced from the response curves of the terminal variables by curve fitting techniques which employ either digital computations or graphical solutions without using involved analytical techniques.
In general the results from actual machine tests were found to be satisfactory compared with those calculated directly from the small signal forms of Park's equations.
