Summary:A digital computer study of synchronous generators which aims to optimize transient stability is described. Mathematical modeling checked by site tests is used, and alternative excitation controls are investigated. It is shown that the appropriate excitation control can produce substantial positive damping of rotor angle excursion without prejudice to the automatic voltage control.
