Analysis of the Power Curve and Development of A Graphic Interface for the Operation of the Synchronous Generator in the Machu Hydroelectric Plant

The objective of the research was to develop a computational interface that allows the automatic drawing of the power chart and is compatible with current automation process equipment such as the HMI and SCADA for the H.C. Machu. The research approach is quantitative, the method is deductive-descriptive, the type of research carried out is applied, a descriptive level of research and the design was non-experimental and longitudinal. Obtaining as a result from the mathematical review of the construction of the power curves of the synchronous generators for both smooth poles and salient poles, the operating restrictions in operability limits, conditions of maximum exciter current, maximum stator current, maximum primary motor power, minimum starting power, were absorbed into Cartesian and polar expressions, in such a way that this allowed the delivery of the algorithms to be processed computationally. Concluding that it was possible to develop a graphical interface in the MATLAB software, which traces the power curve of the synchronous generators, the location of the operating points and control of the operability limits through the current of the excitation field applicable to the Machu Hydroelectric Power Plant.
