Over Excitation Limiters

Description

This component represents a standard IEEE-type Over Excitation Limiter (OEL) model. All input parameters are specified either in seconds (for time constants) or in per-unit/per-unit per second (for all other inputs). The external inputs and outputs are detailed below:

 

Inputs:

 

The limited quantity, input to the OEL model is user-selectable and may consist of one of the following: Generator field current (IF), generator field voltage (EF), or a signal proportional to the exciter field current (VFE) - which is typically used in applications with brush-less excitation systems. The reactive power input is supported exclusively by the OEL4C type.

Outputs:
