Abstract

This project presents a synchronization panel for continuous monitoring and synchronization of an alternator with a busbar (grid). It employs the synchroscope and one dark two bright lamp method, with a digital VAF meter and Phase-Sequence-Indicator for accurate measurements. Synchronization is facilitated via a Normally Open (NO) switch and maintained through a contactor hold circuit until a Normally Closed (NC) switch is pressed. The panel also includes power measurement capabilities. Once synchronized, the alternator maintains speed (frequency) and voltage generation despite changes in armature voltage and field excitation, thereby controlling active and reactive power flow. This enhances power system stability and performance.
