applied theory.

20.2 SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR

The theory described will assume that the synchronous generator (and motor) can be adequately
presented by three balanced stator windings for connection to the supply, one field winding on the
rotor and two damper windings on the rotor. The d-axis has the field winding (f ) and one of the
damper windings (kd) ascribed to it, whilst the q-axis has only one damper winding (kq). The theory
presented starts from the well-established definitions of the most frequently encountered resistances,
inductances and reactances that are used in proprietary computer programs and for which numerical
data can usually be obtained from manufacturers. Numerical data can often be the design data before
the machine is built, unless the machine is the standard product of the manufacturer in which case
the data may have been derived from actual factory tests. Otherwise some of these data are verified
during the testing of the machine before it is delivered to the customer. Testing is usually limited
to obtaining the resistances and reactances in the d-axis and the stator windings. Special tests are
required for obtaining the q-axis data (IEEE112, IEC60034), but these tests are not normally required
by the customer. This means that the q-axis data are subject to a wider tolerance than the d-axis data
by the time the machine is delivered to the customer.

The established definitions are:-
a) Resistances

Resistance of a stator or armature winding.
R a
Resistance of the d-axis rotor damping winding.
R kd
Resistance of the q-axis rotor damping winding.
R kq
Resistance of the d-axis rotor field winding.
R fd
R ext Resistance of a component connected in series with the
stator winding, one in each phase.
Note: A lower case R is often used in the literature.
b) Inductances

Mutual inductance between windings in the d-axis.
M md
Mutual inductance between windings in the q-axis.
M mq
Leakage inductance of a stator winding.
L la
Leakage inductance of the d-axis rotor damping winding.
L lkd
Leakage inductance of the q-axis rotor damping winding.
L lkq
Leakage inductance of the d-axis rotor field winding.
L lfd
Inductance of a component connected in series with the
L ext
stator winding, one in each phase.
c) Reactances at the nominal system frequency ω n
X md Mutual reactance between windings in the d-axis.
X mq Mutual reactance between windings in the q-axis.
X la Leakage reactance of a stator winding.
