Abstract

Electrical power quality has become an essential part of power systems and electrical machines. True identifying and regarding power quality and how to check the related destructive points are of utmost importance. Most of the time, providing the quality of power for sensitive load which requires the voltage to maintain a sinusoidal waveform at rated voltage and frequency is the main point to be considered. On the other hand, protecting power supply against resulting turbulences can be regarded. Voltage sag is one of the destructive issues in power quality problem to be taken into account. Not only can it have some undesirable effects on the sensitive load, but it also has some undesirable effects on synchronous machine as a power supply. In this study, SFCL was used in order to reduce the destructive effects of voltage sag on the performance of synchronous generators. To achieve better understanding, a simple model composed of synchronous generators, SFCL and load is used with the help of MATLAB/SIMULINK software. By creating voltage sag which results from 3-phase short-circuit voltage, current, torque, speed and angle load changes of synchronous generators were simulated and discussed. It was done in condition with/without SFCL. The results illustrate that using SFCL in synchronous generator output can improve its performance during occurrence of voltage sag.
