This work automatic voltage control system for synchronous generator operation. The topic of this paper involves the design and construction of excitation control (or) Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) for the synchronous generator.It is necessary to develop the electronic control system for a synchronous generator. The Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is widely used in electrical power field to obtain the stability and good regulation of the electric system. The characteristics of alternator output required are constant voltage and constant current. To get the constant output, alternator field excitation is controlled by Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). The Automatic Voltage Regulator maintains the constant voltage up to certain level of load current independently of generator speed and load. This work deals with the design and construction of excitation control for synchronous generator and introduces the electronic control technology. The main objective of this paper is to modify the AVR with SCR device technology.On completion of this work, the constructed circuit will be simulated using MATLAB and will improve the overall effectiveness of the synchronous generator. This includes a more accurate measurement of voltage and current, as well as improving the response time and system stability.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
According to history, electricity was discovered by Michael Faraday in his early experimental works that span through 1800-1860 [Hall (1988), Sigvard (1979)]. In the wake of the discovery of electricity, the challenges faced by engineers have been that of generating, transmitting and distributing regulated electric power for the dare need of electrical equipment and appliances.
Every generator is required to produce constant voltage or regulated voltage at the output. The constant voltage at the generator terminals is essential for satisfactory main power supply. The terminal voltage can be affected by various disturbing factors (speed, load, power factor, and temperature rise), so that special regulating equipment is required to keep the voltage constant, even when affected by these disturbing factors.
Power system operation considered so far was under condition of steady load. However, both active and reactive power demands are never steady and they continually change with the rising or falling trend. Therefore, steam input to turbo generators (or water input to hydro-generators) must be continuously regulated to match the active power demand, failing which the machine speed will vary with consequent change in frequency which may be highly undesirable. Also the excitation of generators must be continuously regulated to match the reactive power demand with reactive generation, otherwise the voltages of various system buses may go beyond the prescribed limits.
The automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is widely used in electric power systems and industrial applications to obtain the stability and good regulation of different apparatus. It may be use as an electromechanical mechanism, passive or active electronic components. Depending on the design, it may be use to regulate AC or DC voltage [1]. Thus, maintaining constant voltage at the output terminal of a generator is essential for satisfactory mains power supply. The essence of regulating this machine is that the terminal voltage can be affected by disturbances, such, as change in load, temperature, speed e.t.c, such that voltage regulating equipment is required to keep the voltage constant and maintain continuous supply within acceptable quality. To achieve this, automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system is used in power generation site to ensure voltage stability at the generator terminal. However, AVR system without any controller will provide slow responses and may cause instability. Thus, need to provide proper control of generator by AVR system to ensure generators operated at safe and stable conditions for normal operations and fast response under different type of disturbance is very essential.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Unregulated output in a synchronous generator can result either over voltage or under voltage, and transmitting electricity on this state will expose consumers’ appliances to danger which might end up destroying their appliances. In other to prevent this problem an automatic voltage regulator is used to keep the generator output voltage to normal which is 220vac. An automatic voltage regulator regulates the synchronous generator output voltage and keeps from lower or higher to normal. It protects any electric or electronic devices connected to it from damaged.
1.3 AIM / OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT
The main aim of this work is to present construction and simulation of excitation control (or) Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) for the synchronous generator. The construction of an Automatic Voltage Regulator for synchronous generator introduces the electronic control technology which main objective is to modify the AVR with SCR device technology. Other objectives are expressed briefly. They are:
- to study the advanced features of excitation control system,
- To study and modify the control techniques used in control system,
- To improve the industrial consumer products with SCR.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
The Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is widely used in electrical power field to obtain the stability and good regulation of the electric system. The characteristics of alternator output required are constant voltage and constant current. To get the constant output, alternator field excitation is controlled by Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). The Automatic Voltage Regulator maintains the constant voltage up to certain level of load current independently of generator speed and load. In this paper, the automatic voltage regulator is designed with electronic control circuit technology using SCR. Other advantages are:
- to have better system voltage regulation,
- to improve stability and
- to reduce over-voltage on loss of load.
1.5 PURPOSE OF THEPROJECT
The main purpose of this work is to maintain constant voltage and power line conditioning to the equipment load under a wide variety of conditions, even when the utility input voltage, frequency or system load vary widely.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is a close-loop electronic Regulator circuitry that interfaces the stator and exciter windings of especially brushless generators. It regulates the terminal output voltage of the Generator to a specified rated output level, inspite of varying load conditions and varying inherent conditions and losses of the alternator [Say (1976), Lawrence (1921), www.cmspower.com]. This unit automatically constrains the output voltage to about 100% regulation of the rated terminal voltage of the Generator [Franklin et al (2005)].
The need for a viable and affordable close-loop electronic control interface to control and stabilize the terminal voltage of the Generator, devoid of Transient and Flicker phenomenon eminent in varying load conditions and alternator constituents varying condition is the thrust of this Research.
