Modelling of Salient Pole Synchronous Machines

This course covers the comprehensive modeling of salient pole synchronous machines. It begins with an exploration of alternators, comparing and contrasting the stator of the alternator and the induction machine. The course then delves into the structure of the rotor, explaining the role of the field winding. It further discusses the representation of the cylindrical rotor machine and the salient pole rotor structure, including the concept of damper bars. The course also provides a detailed guide on how to model the alternator and derive equations to describe its behavior. This course focuses on the derivation of various expressions for inductances in the salient rotor synchronized machine and the assembly of these equations to form the voltage expressions. The final part of the course covers the rotor attached reference frame for the synchronous machine, the concept of the D and Q axis, and the application of machine equations for machine control.
