A method determines a generator system load and/or rotor angle. The generator system has a generator with a generator terminal outputting electrical power generated by the generator, a transformer and a point of common coupling, PCC, terminal. The transformer is between the generator and PCC terminals. The method includes: determining the generator field current; determining the output voltage, the output current and the power factor and/or angle of the output voltage and output current from the generator terminal, and determining the load angle of the generator system, output voltage from the generator terminal, output current from the generator terminal and the power factor and/or angle; and/or determining the output voltage, the output current and the power factor and/or angle of the output voltage and output current, and determining the rotor angle of the generator system, output voltage, output current from the PCC terminal and the power factor and/or angle.

Angle determination for a generator

A power system, including: a synchronous electrical generator having a rotor; and an angle computation unit configured to: determine a rotor angle in a steady state period of the synchronous electrical generator, determine a change in rotor angle in a transient period of the synchronous electrical generator, and estimate the rotor angle in the transient period based on the steady state rotor angle and the change in rotor angle.

Power system

A power system includes a synchronous electrical generator having a rotor driven by a shaft; a permanent magnet signaling generator, coupled to the shaft; and an angle computation unit configured to calculate a rotor angle or load angle based on a voltage from the permanent magnet signaling generator and a voltage from the synchronous electrical generator.
