Why do we need them? It is known that Voltage(V) of a power

supply system must be maintained at a constant value.

Other wise the performance of any motor/machinery will drop considerably.

When any new load is given to an un-regulated AC Generator, the V drop is more substantial

time

Close control of generator volatge is required to prevent such dips in V.

This control is achieved by an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR)

The real need of the AVR is to deal with the voltage dip following the sudden connection of extra load and to restore the rated Voltage without undue overshooting and regeneration(i.e. volatge hunting)

There are two stages that follow when the extra load is connected.

Transient Stage(followed by recovery) Steady state conditiono Response time for restoration within 3% of voltage dip is

1.5secondso Steady state voltage regulation at any p.f. within rated p.f.

and unity p.f. Is +/-2.5%

The AVR senses the DG output voltage and acts to alter the field current to maintain the output voltage at its set valueThe excitation voltage can be set by the hand trimmerThe VOLTAGE SENSING unit transforms down, rectifies and smoothes the generator output voltage. This produces DC signal proportional to the actual generator voltage.This signal is compared with the set value at the COMPARATOR The ‘error’ signal from the Comparator is used to control the excitation current through ERROR AMP. and CONTROLLER.
