Current practice is to estimate this value using measurements from the terminals of the generator and mathematical models. This project aims to develop a system that would directly measure the internal angle of the generator using a rotary encoder on the shaft of the machine. This document describes the theory and experimental setup of this proposed system and outlines the test procedure of experimentation.In CopyrightTime SynchronizationPrecision Time ProtocolProgrammable Automation ControllerSynchronized ActuationTorque AngleSynchronous MachineThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-04212012-200401/
