Automatic voltage regulation system construction for synchronous generator of a small hydro power plant using thyristor pathogens

The article presents indicators of the hydropower potential of Kyrgyzstan, shows the share of small hydropower plants in the production of electric energy in the energy sector of the republic, reveals the problematic issues that need to be revealed in this work. A brief description of the existing automatic voltage regulation system and automatic field blanking system is given. Based on the analysis of existing systems, their shortcomings were identified and the main functions formulated for automatic voltage regulation systems in both static and dynamic modes associated with starting and stopping the generator, loading and dumping, as well as protective measures taken to ensure reliability operation of the hydraulic unit. The result of the research is the development of the main functional blocks in the system of automatic voltage regulation with a thyristor pathogen and a brief explanation of their work. The synthesis technique of the excitation current regulator of a synchronous generator and the main indicators obtained in the modernization process are shown. In conclusion, all the functions inherent in the modernized system for automatically controlling the excitation of a synchronous generator, aimed at the safe operation of the hydraulic unit, are noted
