function for generator is to ensure voltage generated from

value for reactive load sharing.
Distribution Transformers!
For the big system of interconnected power distribution
with parallel design,it must have a full controlled and
transient stability particular must added for requirement to
the Automatic Voltage regulator for generator.

What is Automatic Voltage

Regulator (AVR)
The AVR can operated in two condition controlled.It is from manual control or automatic control with standard
limited parameter that required for generator.

This controlled must be provided if it not available for the generator system to ensure it smooth running without
any problem.

Basic principles for AVR

A signal proportional to generator terminal voltage obtained from the rectified output of a voltage transformer is
compared to a stabilized reference voltage obtained within the regulator.

If it detected any abnormal,different or error signal, it will amplified and control the excitation supply, increase
or decrease the input to the main field winding or exciter field.The main purpose is to reduce the error signal to
zero or an acceptable value.

Adjustment of the set voltage is obtained either by adjustment of the reference voltage or by adjusting the
proportion of machine voltage compared to the reference voltage. The stabilizing loop is included to prevent
hunting.Below is basic diagram for AVR circuit.
