EX2000 Excitation System Model

This document summarizes a modeling notification regarding issues with how the EX2000 excitation system dynamics component model represents actual equipment in the Siemens PTI PSS/E power system dynamics simulation software. Specifically, the field current limiter portion of the EX2000 model does not properly reset once tripped. The notification advises users of potential issues using the model and provides alternatives like replacing it with the IEEE standard AC7B model or using a custom EX21BR model for situations involving overexcitation limiter action. It provides contact information for additional support or comments.

Modeling Notification

EX2000 Dynamics Component Model for Excitation Systems


Initial Distribution: March 21, 2016

Recent information has indicated that the EX2000 dynamics model in the Siemens PTI PSS/E power system dynamics
simulation program does not properly model the equipment that it is intended to represent. EX2000 is a General
Electric (GE) excitation system for synchronous generators.

Primary Interest Groups:


Generator Owners, Generation Operators, Transmission Operators, Transmission Planners, Planning Coordinators,
and Reliability Coordinator

Background:
EX2000, EX2100, and EX2100e are excitation systems for synchronous generators manufactured by GE. In the
Siemens PTI PSS/E power system dynamics simulation software package, there is an exciter dynamics component
model named EX2000 which is intended to represent these particular excitation systems. However, the field current
limiter reset action modeled in the EX2000 exciter model in PSS/E is based on the information that was provided
when the model was first written and is not how the actual equipment works. Specifically, once the Latch 2 gate in
the field current limiter portion of the model is set, it will never reset, even if the field current falls below the value
IFDREF2.

Modeling Notification:
All recipients of this modeling notification that are using the EX2000 model in the Siemens PTI PSS/E dynamics
simulation software should be aware that the representation of the field current limiter portion of this model is
suspect. For situations that do not involve action of overexcitation limiters (OEL) (i.e., ICON (M) = 0), the EX2000
model can be used without any issue, or the EX2000 model may be replaced with the AC7B model from the IEEE
421.5 standard. However, if it is necessary to represent OEL action of an EX2000, EX2100, or EX2100e excitation
system in a PSS/E simulation, a user-written model (EX21BR) may be downloaded for PSS/E versions 32 and 33 from
the Siemens PTI PSS/E user support web page (for details, please send an email to PSS/E Support). Although the
model is being supplied by PTI, any user support for this model would need to be sought from Dan Leonard
([email protected]) at GE. (The ex21br model may be used to represent the EX2000, EX2100, or EX2100e
excitation system, including field current limiter behavior, in the GE PSLF program.) Recipients using PSS/E should
review any study results that are dependent on the field current limiter action of the EX2000 model.
