Reactances of Salient Pole Synchronous Machine

This course covers the comprehensive study of Salient Pole Synchronous Machine reactances. It begins with the vector control formulation and the alternative machine model, providing a detailed explanation of the alternator equations and their specific applications. The course further delves into the role of damper windings in the alternator and alternator equations by considering damper circuit in each axis. The course then moves on to the detailed analysis of the equations for the salient pole alternator, explaining the reduction of these equations to an equivalent electrical circuit for both the D and Q axis. The course concludes with an in-depth analysis of salient pole alternators and their equivalent circuits, discussing the concept of time constants of the alternator and their manifestation in the response induced by the alternator to any variations in the input voltage.
