Analysis of synchronous machine modeling for simulation and industrial applications

This paper analyses the synchronous machine modeling by taken into account the machine parameters usually used in industry and those used in researcher’s domains. Two models are presented. The first one is developed in the (d, q) natural reference frames and the other one is referred to the (d, q) stator reference frame. To do this, two methods are proposed to compute the reduction factor of the field winding without any input from design information. It is shown that the reduction factors of the (d, q) damper windings do not influence on the terminal behavior of the machine. This means that it is possible to know the terminal behavior of the machine without knowing the real inductances and resistances of the damper windings. The accuracy of these models is validated by experimental tests.
