Abstract

This paper derives the initial value calculation of a multi-machine power system with a detailed sixth-order model of synchronous generator equipped with exciter and turbine systems. The method is generalized that can be used for any model including the reduced model of synchronous generators such as two-axes, one-axis, and classical model. A Matlab-based package was developed for calculating the initial values and simulating a multi-machine power system. The test system used in the study is IEEE 16-machine 68-bus system.
