Automatic synchronizer with parameter self-searching algorithm for synchronous machine

본 발명은 동기발전기 및 전동기(이하 동기기)를 전력계통에 병렬운전시키기 위한 감시 및 제어장치인 동기기 자동 병입 장치에 관한 것이다. 동기기를 계통에 병입 후에 병렬 운전시키기 위해서는 운전 중인 전력계통의 전압크기와 위상 그리고 주파수를 일치시켜서 동기기를 병입해야 한다. 그렇지 않으면, 계통연계 주변압기 및 주변 전기 및 터빈설비를 소손시키고 전력계통에 큰 충격을 주어 인근전력계통에 병입되어 운전 중인 발전기들을 파급 정지시키면서 전력계통에 큰 외란을 주게 된다. 병입장치는 전압 및 주파수 조정신호를 발생시켜서 그 편차가 허용 범위 내에 있고 전압위상차가 기준 허용치 이내에 있으면 병입 차단기 투입하라는 명령 신호를 발생시킨다. 본 발명은 자동 병입 장치에서 자체 시험을 통해서 얻어진 변수로 최적값을 찾아내서 설정하게 함으로써 병입 장치 파라미터 정정에 소요되는 시험 시간을 최소화하고, 최적에 파라미터를 자체 시스템에서 찾아내어 설정시켜서 원동기 기동 후 병입 시점까지의 시간을 최소화하 하고, 이로써 계통병입에 소요되는 시간만큼 소비되는 소비전력을 절감하고, 긴급상황에서 전력계통에 공급전력을 조기 확보함으로서 전력계통 안정도 향상에 기여할 수 있다. The present invention relates to a synchronous automatic feeding device which is a monitoring and control device for parallel operation of a synchronous generator and an electric motor (hereinafter referred to as a synchronous machine) to a power system. In order to operate the synchronizer in parallel after feeding it into the system, the synchronizer must be fed by matching the voltage, phase and frequency of the power system in operation. Otherwise, the grid-related peripheral pressure and surrounding electric and turbine equipment will be burned out and the electric system will have a big impact, causing the electric power system to be disturbed by stopping the generators being fed into the neighboring electric power system. The feed-in device generates a voltage and frequency adjustment signal and generates a command signal to input the feed-in breaker if the deviation is within the allowable range and the voltage phase difference is within the reference allowable value. The present invention minimizes the test time required to correct the feed-in parameters by setting and finding the optimum value with the parameters obtained through self-test in the automatic feed-in device, and automatically finds and sets the parameters in its own system to feed in after the prime mover starts. By minimizing the time to the point of time, thereby reducing the power consumption consumed ...
