(between 50 and 300 r/min)

Damper Windings
Operation Principle
The rotor of the generator is driven by a prime-mover
A dc current is flowing in the rotor winding which
produces a rotating magnetic field within the machine
The rotating magnetic field induces a three-phase
voltage in the stator winding of the generator
Electrical Frequency
Electrical frequency produced is locked or synchronized to
the mechanical speed of rotation of a synchronous
generator:
fe 
nm P
120
where fe = electrical frequency in Hz
P = number of poles
nm= mechanical speed of the rotor, in r/min

The following are the parameters in per unit on machine rating of a 555
MVA, 24 kV, 0.9 p.f., 60 Hz, 3600 RPM generator
Lad=1.66
Laq=1.61
Ll=0.15
Ra=0.003
(a) When the generator is delivering rated MVA at 0.9 p. f. (lag) and rated
terminal voltage, compute the following:
(i) Internal angle δi in electrical degrees
(ii) Per unit values of ed, eq, id, iq, ifd
(iii) Air-gap torque Te in per unit and in Newton-meters
(b) Compute the internal angle δi and field current ifd using the following
equivalent circuit
Direct and Quadrature Axes

The direct (d) axis is centered magnetically in the center of the north
pole
The quadrature axis (q) axis is 90o ahead of the d-axis
q: angle between the d-axis and the axis of phase a
Machine parameters in abc can then be converted into d/q frame using q
Mathematical equations for synchronous machines can be obtained from
the d- and q-axis equivalent circuits
Advantage: machine parameters vary with rotor position w.r.t. stator, q,
thus making analysis harder in the abc axis frame. Whereas, in the d/q
reference frame, parameters are constant with time or q.
Disadvantage: only balanced systems can be analyzed using d/q-axis
system
