Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the solution of the problem of optimal control of synchronous turboalternators. In the first section of this chapter the optimal torque and voltage control of a large turbogenerator connected to an infinite bus is found by using the minimum norm formulation. In the second section the optimal control of a system with two identical interconnected turbogenerators connected to an infinite bus is considered. Control of the generators is effected through control of field voltages and turbine torques. Finally, in the last section a realistic feedback control of two interconnected turbogenerators is considered.
