A simple way of determining stator-to-field winding mutual inductance functions of a salient pole synchronous generator

Abstract

This paper presents a simple method for determining the stator and field winding mutual inductances. The mutual inductances are determined on the basis of experimental measurement of the induced stator phase voltages for a salient pole synchronous generator with 10 damping bars and rotor skew. A mathematical model of a salient pole synchronous generator with 10 damping bars and rotor skew in the natural reference frame is presented. During the simulation, current waveforms calculated in damping bars in a no-load steady state are presented.
