Excitation Systems

We offer a full range of products and services, from a single shipped-loose voltage regulator to the entire excitation system. We also offer complete installation and commissioning services to upgrade your excitation system.

About our Static or Brushless Excitation Systems

 

Our excitation systems incorporate a wide range of features and functions for greater control and automation of the overall generator system. We have developed prepackaged voltage regulator and static exciter replacement solutions that save you time and money. Reduce your outage duration by leveraging our years of experience.

Digital excitation control provides significant improvements in generator performance, including improved transient and dynamic stability to meet stringent performance criteria.

Whether the exciter, pilot exciter, or voltage regulator is your concern, we have the right replacement solution.

The models are well proven models and compliant with AEMO requirements.

Key features

 

● Reduce your setup time with our intuitive BESTCOMSPlus® software that simplifies complex setup with simple drag-and-drop programmable logic, visual real-time strip chart capabilities, innovative auto PID selection capabilities, and configurable protection.

● The revolutionary auto tuning function automatically establishes optimum gain settings, taking the guesswork out of system setup, reducing commissioning time and cost while maximizing overall system performance.

● A wide variety of redundancy options increases system reliability.

● An available suite of limiters coordinates with protective functions to help maintain safe operating parameters and avoid system downtime.

● Avoid system damage by utilizing various protection functions integrated into the controller.

● Maximize excitation system performance with dual gain settings based on load conditions.

● Improve system reliability and stability by coordinating dual settings groups for limiters and protection to match generation system conditions.

● Prevents undesired overshoots using the soft-start feature to maintain generator voltage control during system startup.

● Time-synchronizing provisions facilitate event analysis with a common chronological reference to aid in coordination efforts when comparing oscillography files from other devices.

● Simplify system testing and commissioning with real-time monitoring and built-in test provisions.

● Entering settings with confidence is easy with BESTCOMSPlus®. Software provides intuitive settings with graphs, built-in error checking, and summary screens.

● The Offline Simulator in BESTlogic™Plus helps test and troubleshoot logic without the need for expensive hardware.

● Sequence of Events and Oscillography Recording provisions collect valuable system data triggered by disturbances for event analysis.

● Avoid costly generator damage and improve overall system stability with our integrated Power System Stabilizer (optional) that utilizes the "integral of accelerating power" to safely dampen local mode, inter-area and inter-unit power oscillations, white noise generator, and phase plot compensation.
