Definitions

• the invention relates to a synchronizing device for connecting a synchronous generator and an alternating current network in parallel, each with a measuring circuit for the voltage and frequency of the generator and the alternating current network as well as the phase angle between the mains and the generator voltage, with control outputs for the speed control of the generator drive Adjustment of the actual value of the generator frequency to a setpoint range adapted to the line frequency on the one hand and for voltage regulation of the generator to adjust the generator voltage to the line voltage on the other hand and with a switching command output for the tie switch which is used for a setpoint-actual value adjustment of the voltage and the frequency depending on a setpoint-actual value comparison of the phase angle with a setpoint value determined by a computer from the frequency difference and the specifiable switching time of the tie switch can be controlled.
• the Austrian application ⁇ A 820/88 designed on July 15, 1992 proposes a synchronization device in which a measuring circuit for determining characteristic values for the dependence of the time Speed curve of the generator drive from a control signal application of its speed control, and a memory for these characteristic values is provided.
• a computer can then calculate the control signal size required for a frequency adjustment for the desired speed change from the stored characteristic values.
• the measuring circuit is not described in more detail in this published application. Furthermore, it is not discussed at what times this measuring circuit stores the characteristic values in the memory. It is only mentioned in the description that the dependence of the temporal speed curve on a control signal application of the speed control can be detected via the frequency measurement.
• the aim of the invention is to improve the above-mentioned synchronizing device in such a way that the behavior of the controlled system generator and generator drive is taken into account even better for an actuating command to the speed controller of the generator drive.
• the object is achieved by the invention.
• the optimal control commands for the speed controller are determined by tests in which the control response to the respective control command for the speed controller of the generator drive is recorded by the computer and stored in a memory and the computer is switched off All control responses determine the optimal control command for each setpoint-actual value difference of the voltage and frequency or the optimal command duration and command pause for the speed controller, and that at the start of the comparison, the actual value specification for the generator frequency includes a defined slip, and that after the shortfall has occurred the phase angle between the mains and generator voltage to a suitable value, the frequency adjustment to zero.
• the computer automatically determines the optimal setting commands using a program.
• This configuration is advantageous because it achieves the highest possible accuracy and, moreover, the device according to the invention can be integrated into a fully automatic system.
• the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.
• the figure shows an electrical network 7, to which a generator 5 can be connected via a tie switch 2.
• a generator drive 4, which is coupled to the shaft of the generator 5, can be, for example, a hydropower turbine or a steam turbine set.
• a synchronization device 1, which contains a digital computer, is supplied with the voltage U, the frequency f and the phase position before and after the coupling switch 2. The synchronization device 1 determines the
• Synchronization time and gives appropriate control commands to a controller 4 of the generator drive 3.
• the control behavior of the generator drive 3 determined and stored before start-up is also taken into account by the synchronization device 1.
• the voltage of the generator 5 is adjusted via the excitation 6.
• a corresponding control signal is also provided by the synchronizing device 1.
• the Synchronisier ⁇ device 1 does not adjust, as in the known systems, to 0.00 Hz slip, but leaves a minimum slip in the order of 0.01 to 0.03 Hz. Only when the phase angle between the generator and the mains voltage falls below a suitable value, is there a frequency adjustment to zero; the phase angle is now within the tolerance limit, so the synchronization device 1, which has stored the time constants of the speed control system, can connect the generator 5 to the network 7 via the coupling switch 2. Using the control parameters and the current measured values, the point in time at which the slip regulation begins is now determined by means of a computer. If a different slip suddenly occurs as a result of a change in the network conditions, this is limited to a defined value by the frequency control, and the further procedure takes place as previously described.
