    The excitation system provides the necessary field current to the rotor winding of a synchronous machine. It must be reliable under all conditions, simple to control and maintain, and provide stability and fast transient response. The amount of excitation required depends on the load current, power factor, and speed. Larger loads, lower speeds, and lagging power factors require more excitation. Excitation systems can be individual, with each alternator having its own small exciter generator, or centralized, with two or more exciters feeding a bus bar connected to all alternators, though individual systems are more widely used to avoid faults affecting the whole plant.

    Excitation System

    The excitation system is required to provide the necessary field current to the rotor winding of a synchronous
    machine. The main requirements of an excitation system are reliability under all conditions of service,
    simplicity of control , ease of maintenance , stability and fast transient response.

    The amount of excitation required depends on the load current , load power factor and speed of the
    machine. Larger the load current , lower the speed and lagging power factor , more the excitation required.

    The excitation system may be individual one , in which each alternator is provided with its own exciter in the
    form of small generator on an extension of the main shaft , or centralized excitation system having two or
    more exciters feeding a bus-bar to which field system of all the alternators in the power plant are connected .
    though centralized excitation system is cheaper arrangement but a fault in this system adversely affects all
    power plant. As such individual excitation system is widely used.
