Modeling of Synchronous Generators 99% of the electric power allover the world is generated by Synchronous Generators
System Components • The main components of power systems are: • Generators (Synchronous Generators). • Power Transformers. • Transmission lines and cables. • Loads: - Static (lighting, heating,…) - Dynamic (Motors).
Generators • The Generator converts mechanical power into electrical power. • Synchronous generators are constant speed generators. • The conversion of mechanical power into electrical power is done through a coupling field (magnetic field). Magnetic Electrical Output Input Mechanical

Flux Linkage (a) Flux is perpendicular to phase A (b) Flux is parallel to phase A Flux linkage variation.
Rotating Flux Rotating flux linkage to phase A.
EMF Equation According to Faraday’s law, the induced emf in the armature coil of Nsta turns is given by:
Speed and Frequency • nS is the synchronous speed (r/m) • f is the frequency in Hz. • 2P = total number of poles. Example: calculate the frequency of a 1800 rpm , 4 pole synchronous generator ns = 1800 r/m, 2P = 4 Then, f = 2*1800/60 = 60 Hz

Example A 1,250-kVA, three-phase, Y-connected, 4,160-V , ten-pole, 60-Hz generator has an armature resistance of 0.126 ohms per phase and a synchronous reactance of 3 ohms per phase. Find the full load generated voltage per phase at a power factor of 0.8 lagging.
Solution The magnitude of full load current is obtained as The terminal voltage per phase is taken as reference The synchronous impedance is obtained as
The generated voltage per phase is calculated for a power factor of 0.8 lagging ( φ = -36.87°).
