This thesis is concerned with the digital computer prediction of
the performance of a 125MVA synchronous compensator during starting and
synchronising to a power transmission system.
Little work has been conducted in the past on synchronising problems,
and the few studies reported discuss either synchronous motors or generators.
Although basically similar machines, synchronous compensators have different
design parameters to synchronous motors because of the duty that they are
required to perform, and the starting and synchronising conditions can be
quite different from those of synchronous motors. Therefore, application
of studies of synchronous motors to synchronous, compensators may produce
results of doubtful value.
In the study described in this thesis, digital computer programs are
developed to simulate the performance of a synchronous compensator using
methods of analysis first developed by Park. [Continues.]
