Dynamic voltage and reactive power controller for non-synchronous power generation plants

Abstract:

Systems and methods for improved anomaly detection for rotating machines. An example method may include determining that power generation is to be performed based on a voltage instead of a power factor; receiving a command voltage; receiving a measured voltage value from a first location in a power generation network; determining that the measured voltage value from the first location is less than the command voltage value; determining that a current value associated with a transmission line at the third location is less than a threshold current value; determining that a reactive power of a power generation component at a third location is less than a maximum reactive power of the component; and increasing, based on the determination that the reactive power of the component at the third location is less than a maximum reactive power of the component, the reactive power of the component.
