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:
1.
Generators (Synchronous Generators).
2.
Power Transformers.
3.
Transmission lines and cables.
4.
Loads:
- Static (lighting, heating,…)
- Dynamic (Motors).
Generators
Input

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).

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 , tenpole, 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°).
