Synchronous machine model identification using continuous wavelet NARX network

Abstract A new wavelet network structure combining polynomial models with continuous wavelet decomposition is introduced for the identification of a synchronous generator model. The proposed structure uses features of polynomial models and wavelet networks to model non-linearities in the system. In this study, a serial-parallel identification model is applied to system modelling. In this structure, real system outputs are exercised for prediction of the future system outputs, so that stability and approximation of the network are guaranteed. This method is applied to identify the model of a synchronous machine from experimental data collected on a physical machine. The results show that the identified model has very good accuracy and may be valid for a broad range of operating conditions.
