Abstract

The conventional synchronous generator model accurately represents only the stator circuit. However, when considering transient effects on rotor quantities such as rotor voltage and current, accurate predictions can be achieved by properly incorporating the field and damper considerations with the stator circuits in an equivalent model. Besides, it has been observed that simulated responses obtained using the conventional model with calculated machine parameters frequently do not align well with the actual measured responses, especially for the rotor winding. This paper analyzes the effect of the d and q axis parameters of synchronous machines, focusing on accurately determining these parameters, particularly the Canay inductance. It investigates the impact of precise determination of these parameters from the time constants of the direct axis operational inductance on transient response and stability. Through simulation studies on a high order model synchronous generator system, the paper compares transient performances with and without considering Canay inductance, shedding light on its effects.
