Modeling and Simulation of a Power Generation System With a High Power Generator

This paper describes the modeling and simulation of a generator system using an efficient, high-speed, high power density generator that generates up to 1 MW of high voltage DC electrical power continuously and can be used for aerospace or land applications requiring large power and compact installations. This generator system simulated comprises a brushless wound field electric machine, a generator control unit (GCU) and a bridge rectifier.

The purposes of the model are: obtaining simulation results to predict the behavior of the generator system during operational transients, characterizing the power quality and selecting the filters, and tuning the control parameters of the GCU.
