Among these machines, synchronous generators are essential when it comes to power production. Having this in mind, it is to be expected that analyzing these machines are of key importance, whether it comes to designing, operating or maintenance of synchronous generators. This paper aims to cover the electromagnetic analysis of this particular type of machine: more specifically a three-phase synchronous generator. The analysis was performed using the finite element method. A relatively wide range of data was obtained from the analysis, and the results from it are presented and interpreted in this paper.","PeriodicalId":308948,"journal":{"name":"2021 56th International Scientific Conference on Information, Communication and Energy Systems and Technologies (ICEST)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130354578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
