Taking advantage of its know-how and its experience, ALSTOM Power has developed a comprehensive machine control system that comprised the P320 AVR. The P320 AVR regulator is specially dedicated to the excitation regulation of AC generators and motors. It is compliant with the latest revision of standards IEEE 421.2 “Guide for identification testing and evaluation of the dynamic performance of excitation control systems” and IEEE 421.5 “Recommended practice for excitation system models for power system stability studies”. It is designed to manage all types of excitation systems (static, brushless, DC exciters) and can be applied to any kind of power generation applications (steam, hydraulic, diesel and gas turbines), from small units to large energy generators, new and refurbishment projects. Totally digital in design, the P320 AVR combines very high performance level, easy programming and flexibility of set-up. Based on an Industrial Automation Digital Product of world-wide diffusion, it associates standard “off the shelf” modules to specific ones designed for dedicated functions. It guarantees an optimum reliability and sustainable production of this controller. It is wide open to communication and can be controlled from Distributed Control Systems (DCS), dedicated operator stations, local operator terminal or from conventional panels.

DESCRIPTION 2 The here below description gives the main possibilities of the P320 AVR; the application to each specific project is described in the excitation description 2.1 STRUCTURE Single channel structure : The system consists of one channel, being constituted of a digital voltage regulator (AVR) with integrated FCR (Field Current Regulator). A failure of the AVR loop switches over the system to the FCR loop. Follow up in both ways provides smooth transfer between the regulators.

Changes may be added periodically to the information contained here. They will be incorporated in subsequent issues of this sheet. At any time, and without prior notice, ALSTOM Power may improve or change the products or programs described in this document. TWIN structure : The system consists of two identical channels, each one being constituted of a digital voltage regulator (AVR) with its own power supply, its own thyristor firing module and its own bridge. The two identical digital regulators, normal and stand-by, integrate both a FCR (Field Current Regulator). A failure of the Active channel switches over the system to the Stand-by channel. Follow up in both ways provides smooth transfer between the regulators.

Each power converter is designed to flow continuously 110% of the rated current and the transient ceiling current every 15 minutes. In case of one converter failure, the active channel switches over automatically to the standby channel and the power converter in trouble is blocked.

Full redundant TWIN structure : The system consists of two identical channels, each one being constituted of a digital voltage regulator (AVR) with its own power supply, its own thyristor firing module. The two identical digital regulators, normal and stand-by, integrate both a FCR (Field Current Regulator). A failure of the Active channel switches over the system to the Stand-by channel. Follow up in both ways provides smooth transfer between the regulators.

Each power converter is designed to flow continuously 110% of the rated current and the transient ceiling current every 15 minutes. Each power converter has got its own pulse amplifier with a pulse fault detection function, one power converter only being in operation. Each power converter can be controlled by neither of the regulator, ensuring a full redundancy. A failure on the active power converter will train over a changeover on the standby power converter with a smooth transfer by pulses overlapping through their pulse amplifier card. Power converter in trouble is blocked. R07-0024RUGO1A P320 AVR V2 Product Description Sheet 7/22 Technical inaccuracies or spelling errors may be found in this sheet.
