Abstract |
Many power plants in the thermal and hydraulic utilities, the pulp and the paper industry are faced with high maintenance and down time due to the aged excitation system. For the life extension of the aged power plants, the static excitation system of triple module redundancy type had been developed by KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute). This paper will discuss the design conception and the application results of system which includes the power control devices(thyristors, GTO), power potential transformer(excitation transformer) and triple module redundancy controller(voltage regulator). |
