Control System Management of Synchronous Generator Units Based on Internet of Things: A Comprehensive Review
Authors
Abstract
Many different technologies have been studied in relation to electrical generator control system management and condition monitoring. The ability to plan control systems and monitor them offers benefits for finances, operations, and technology. Electric generator manufacturers are drawn to this area for this reason. The focus of this review paper is on the control system management of synchronous generators, with a particular emphasis on the utilization of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and microcontrollers with techniques such as Proportional-Integral (PI), Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), etc. Furthermore, the monitoring of the synchronous generator’s condition has been introduced using Internet of Things (IoT) variable devices. Finally, the paper delves into The classification and thorough analysis of recent research suggest control system and monitoring models, including interactions with various kinds of power plants that run on synchronous generators. The survey results included a plethora of relevant articles and papers about the application of control systems to the Internet of Things.
