Abstract

The electrical power generation and distribution in power plant suffers from so many problems, such as instability of demand and generation. These lead to increase of generation cost. The system under consideration is consist of two steam turbines each of 30 MW with total of 60 MW (230). The excitation system of 30 MW generators has been chosen, due to the problems faced by operators in power station. These problems include aging of the control element, feeding back signal and loading increase/ decrease problems.
