Fodor A., Magyar A., Hangos K., 2012, MIMO LQ Control of the Energy Production of a Synchronous Generator in a Nuclear Power Plant, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 29, 361-366.
A multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) LQ servo controller was proposed for an industrial size synchronous generator that keeps the active power at the desired level and performs reactive power reference tracking using the reactive power demand from the central dispatch center. The controller design was based on the locally linearized version of a previous dynamical model of the synchronous electrical generator (Anderson and Fouad, 1977, Fodor et al., 2012) the parameters of which have been identified using measured data from Paks Nuclear Power Plant, Hungary.
