Abstract: An Extended Reduced Order Observer (EROO) based design approach has been presented for an Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) loop of the synchronous generator. The design approach utilizes the full state feedback to stabilize the AVR loop in the face of parameter uncertainty. The EROO-based design approach is capable of robust trajectory tracking in presence of parameter uncertainty and disturbances due to load demand changes. The design ensures specified stability margins at different speeds of response. An illustrative example has been provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the methodology.
