\n

The basic function of an excitation system is to provide a continuous (DC) current to the field winding of a synchronous machine. This is achieved through the use of closed-loop control (or feedback control). Modern excitation systems also include diagnostics functions to simplify troubleshooting, communication protocols for SCADA integration, and limiter \/ protection functions to ensure that the synchronous machine is operated within its capability curve.<\/p>\n

2. OBJECTIVE<\/strong><\/h4>\n
