Self-Regulating Alternator Garry Vondrasek Charlie Wolfe Project 46 ECE 345 TA: Julio Urbina
Introduction • Motivation • Define Terms • Excitation • Synchronous Motor • Small Signal Scaling
Objective • Self-Regulating • Stable • 5% Tolerance Goal for 800 - 1500 RPM • Implement with PID control scheme DC Motor Synchronous Machine Variable DC Power Supply PID Controller
Design • System Identification • PID Controller Design • Interface with DC power supply • Modifications • Challenges
Testing • Summer Testing for Error signal • Determining K • Max / min Overshoot on transients • Voltage versus Load
Conclusions • Design Objectives Met; Exceeded • Tolerances satisfied • Ways to improve: adding D-term, making robust under variable loads
