Automatic voltage regulator for alternator / Asymal Wajdi Muhd. Akhir@Mokhtar

This project deals with the design and development of an Automatic voltage Regulator (AVR) for medium power alternator. The designed controller is tested on the MAWDSLEY'S machine in the power laboratory. Open loop operation is tested to evaluate the controller performance. This project consists of developing a voltage controller for synchronous generator using· peripheral interface controller. The processor used is PIC16F628. [1] The software is written in PIC language using software development tool, which called MPLAB. Other peripheral circuit is constructed to integrate the system so that it works accordingly. To validate the results, the experimental results obtained are compared with the simulation result.
