SMTS

Synchronous Machine Transient Simulation

The program SMTS allows the user to carry out simulations involving a synchronous machine in a very short time and in a very easy way. SMTS is a powerful tool for electrotechnicians and electrical engineers working in the fields of power generation, excitation systems and power distribution.
SMTS generator data input

Basically SMTS includes the following components: Synchronous machine that may be defined either as generator or as motor Excitation system including ABBs AVR type UNITROL with static excitation or with rotating exciter Power system stabilizer (PSS) ABB type 1 and IEEE PSS2A Field suppression circuit including field breaker and field suppression resistor Multipurpose IEEE governor and turbine Driving power ramp Non-linear speed dependent shaft load for motor applications Unit transformer Network composed by the line series inductance and resistance connected to an infinite voltage source. Simulations which can be performed: Load rejections Three-phase faults at generator terminals Three-phase faults at high-voltage side of step-up transformer Field suppression from a desired initial load or fault condition Performance verification of the excitation system under fault conditions Adjustments verification of the power system stabilizer Load variation when operating in island operation Asynchronous start-up, etc.

Main Features: No programming knowledge is necessery to input system parameters or simulation events. SMTS includes a database with typical generator data in order to provide system parameters in case of incomplete or non-sufficient data. Simulation output is presented in graphic form with self-scaling facility. All the plot outputs may be tailored by using the graphic setting facilities of SMTS. Plots can be printed directly or copied to the clipboard in order to be attached to other Microsoft Windows programs (e.g. MS Word, MS Write, MS PaintBrush, Micrografx Designer etc.). It is possible to plot up to 12 different curves (4 plot outputs, each one showing up to 3 curves) in a unique simulation example. A complete list of system variables may be selected to be plotted. SMTS also provides a report facility which basically allows the user to print a summary of all system parameters used during the simulation. This report may directly be printed or copied to the clipboard in order to be integrated in another document. User-friendly interface: SMTS contains an own graphic output facility and due to that there is no need to use additional graphic software package in order to plot the results of the simulations. SMTS makes really your simulation work very easy! Please let us know if there is some suggestion that could be considered in the future releases of SMTS.
