Abstract

This paper models and simulates a salient-pole synchronous generator using a modified winding function theory and more precise stator and rotor winding distribution with dynamic eccentricity between the stator and rotor. Air-gap permeance is also computed more accurately compared to currently available methods. Inductances with this method are compared to those obtained from other methods and it is shown that the results are closer to those obtained from finite element computations. Finally, the calculated inductances are used in a coupled electromagnetic model for simulation and studying the frequency spectrum of the stator line current in the presence of dynamic eccentricity.
