Developments of the high-speed response brushless excitation systems (HSRBESs) are ongoing in the power industry. This is because the transient response of the excitation system (ES) is a key performance indicator for the grid owner. In dealing with this problem, accurate prediction and control of the ES ceiling voltage are desirable. However, the brushless exciters’ nonlinear armature reaction causes the ceiling voltage to be unknown under varying operating conditions. This article proposes a numerical average-value model (AVM) that captures all the main dynamics of the HSRBES. It is shown that the AVM relationships can be utilized for online prediction of the ceiling voltage and employed in a dual-control scheme. The proposed model is validated against a dynamic voltage build-up test. Moreover, it is derived from a detailed model, which is verified from instantaneous field measurements and further from finite-element analysis. Finally, the accuracy and effectiveness of the AVMs’ transient relationships prove the feasibility of the proposed dual-control scheme and shows that it can be easily implemented in existing systems.
