This thesis is concerned with the design, construction and testing of a prime mover - governor model capable of simulating those components of a large power system. This unit is to be used as part of a new power system test model. The model has been designed to simulate a prime mover - governor by controlling a laboratory-size dc motor through the field of a booster with allowance being made for setting up the governor transfer functions, thus obtaining the desired torque and speed responses. Since most methods of power system analysis neglect certain system characteristics and since tests on actual systems could be destructive, it seems desirable to develop a complete power system test model capable of representing a real power system fairly accurately. When the system model is completed, it is hoped that extensive transient stability tests can be carried out and real system control techniques developed. Chapter 2 of this thesis outlines the design of the prime mover - governor model; Chapter 3 describes the realization of the system; and Chapter 5 gives the model tests and results. The test methods and results of machine parameter measurements are included in Chapter 4. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of / Graduate

Bibliography: pages 171-173. / This dissertation compares the Inverse Nyquist Array (INA) and the Pole Assignment techniques in multivariable control system design. The representation of multivariable systems in both the frequency domain and state space is discussed. A laboratory flotation system, for which a model by step response analysis is derived, is used as a practical example for both methods. A detailed description of the theory of both techniques is given. Particular emphasis is given to how the theory can be applied with the use of a personal computer. Computer-aided control system design programs for the INA and Pole Assignment techniques are included. A complete feedback control scheme for the flotation rig is designed with the INA technique. Pole Assignment by state feedback is used to improve the speed of response of the rig. The implementation of a Kalman filter, which is required for the Pole Assigment technique, is also described.
