Comparision AREP PMG & Shunt

The document compares three excitation systems: Shunt, PMG, and AREP (R 450), highlighting their performance in terms of short circuit current, reliability, and maintenance. AREP systems offer superior short circuit performance, high reliability, and ease of maintenance while maintaining the same machine dimensions. Overall, AREP is presented as the best choice for robust excitation systems due to its combination of reliability, performance, and maintenance simplicity.

AREP Advantages:

Superior Short Circuit Performance: Capable of sustaining 3 times the nominal current for 10 seconds, making it ideal for selective protection.

High Reliability: AREP systems are as reliable as PMG systems and outperform Shunt systems in reliability.

Ease of Maintenance: Replacing the AVR in AREP systems is simple, requiring no specialized training compared to PMG systems.

Compact Design: The AREP system maintains the same machine length and weight, unlike PMG systems which increase both.

By combining reliability, performance, and ease of maintenance, AREP emerges as a superior choice for applications requiring robust excitation systems.
