Poly phase synchronous machine: The synchronous machines are usually built with field winding on the rotor and armature winding on the stator. However in order to represent the two axis model of the synchronous machine, the armature is placed on rotor and field is mount on stator. 7.1. Basic parameter: synchronous machine
A three phase synchronous machine has four basic s winding; namely three identical and symmetrical armature windings and one field winding.

pole
Fig.(7.1) shows the elementary two pole synchronous machine. With salient pole construction. The field winding axis is taken as direct axis and the inter polar axis as quadrature axis. The d- and q- axes remain fixed with the field winding on stator , but three magnetic axes of three phase armature phases rotate as the rotor revolves. In order to concentrate more on the synchronous machine basic features and to further analysis, the following assumption are made.
1.Influences of damper are neglected. 2.Hysteresis and magnetic saturation are neglected. 3.Space distribution of armature m.m.f wave and field flux wave are assumed sinusoidal. 4.The armature slots dont have any effect on synchronous machine inductances. 7.1.1. Synchronous machine resistances: The armature circuit resistances for A,B,C phases are designated by ra,rb, rc respectively. Since the phase windings are identical, the magnitudes of all the three resistances are equal, i.e. . For convenience is used to identify the winding resistance of phase A as well as armature circuit resistance for any of the three phases. The symbol is used to represent the field-circuit resistance. 7.1.2. Synchronous machine inductances:
a) Field self-inductances. The air gap length seen by the field m.m.f remains constant, whatever the rotor position w.r.t field poles may be. As a result of it, the reluctance seen by the field m.m.f is always constant and consequently field selfinductances is constant. b) Armature to field mutual inductances. The mutual inductances between armature and field windingsvary periodically with space angle . Here the mutual inductances between phase A and field winding is cosine in nature as shown in fig.(7.2) below. Therefore

is a constant term, whereas is the amplitude of second-harmonic component. There is some flux, produced by phase A, which does not cross the air gap to link the stator. This flux is called leakage flux and can be accounted for phase leakage inductance The variation of self inductance with space angle is depicted in figure.
d)
(7.3) For round rotor machine, Where are the mutual inductances between phases A, B; are the mutual
inductances between phases B, C and are the mutual inductances between phases C, A. can be found by determining the flux linkages with phase B when only phase A is excited or vice versa. The variation of or with space angle is shown in figure 7.3
Fig.7.3. Variation of armature mutual inductances with space angle 7.2 Three-phase Synchronous Machine (with no Amortisseurs) The synchronous machine voltage equations in d-q can be obtained by a simple graphical method developed in Art. () and same is done in
this article. The primitive machine model or generalized model of a polyphase machine without amortisseurs is illustrated in figure (7.3 ).
Fig. 7.3 generalized model of a polyphase synchronous machine The stator coil DS represents the field winding and the rotor coils DR, QR represent the polyphase armature winding. In the analysis to follow, the effect of ammortisseur circuits (or damper bars) is neglected, so that basic important results are obtained more clearly. The
voltage equations in matrix form for the model of fig (7.3) are written as follows: [ ] =

Now the field winding is designated by F in place of more general DS. Similarly the armature winding DR and QR are designated by D and Q respectively. Since the armature winding is uniformly distributed and balanced, = = (say).
(7.5) The voltage-current relations given by Eq. (7.5) are applicable both for steady state and transient analysis of synchronous macine. 7.2.1 Balanced Steady-State Analysis With d.c. field winding on the outer fixed member, the stator field does not revolve and is, therefore, stationary in space. Polyphase currents in the armature winding produce synchronously revolving field and for the relative speed between the two fields to be zero, the armature must revolve synchronous speed opposite to the direction of rotating field. Thus the speed of resultant air-gap flux is stationary in space and in view of this, the operator p must
be replaced by zero. On the steady state the armature can run at synchronous speed only, therefore, rotor angular velocity electrical radians per second. Thus the steady-state voltage equations, from Eq. (7.5) are

In view of this, the generator voltage equation can be obtained from motor voltage equations by writing in place of . Therefore, the generator voltage equation is (7.18) Eq.

Eq. (7.21) include a term which is due to saliency, i.e. no-uniform air gap. This quantity reduces to zero for a cylindrical-rotor synchronous machine in which . This saliency factor in salient-pole synchronous machine is quite appreciable, since is approximately 60 to 70% larger then . Even in turbo alternators, small salient-pole effect is present due to the effect of field-winding slots on q-axis reluctance consequently differs slightly (about 10%) from in cylindricalrotor synchronous machines. From the generator phasor diagram of Fig (7.6), it is seen that
These machines are characterized by uniform air gap so that reluctances along d and q axes are equal. In view of this,

Thus the voltage equations for a cylindricalrotor synchronous generator, from Eq. (), is (7.23)

................................................ (7.30) With the help of Eq. 7.30 the variation of power P with is plotted in ig 1 a to give the powerload angle characteristics of a cylindrical rotor synchronous machine. Eq. 7.28 gives the power angle characteristics of a salient pole synchronous machine, which is illustrated in Fig. 7.9 (b)
(a) Cylindrical rotor synchronous machine. (b) Salient-pole machine. Fig. 7.9(a) reveals that maximum power in a cylindrical-rotor machine occurs when = 90 For a salient pole machine, the maximum power as seen from Fig. 7.9(b) is at load angle less than 90 This value of load angle can be obtained from Eq. 7.28 as follows: ( ) 7 31) Its solution gives the value of and su stitution of angle as calculated from Eq 7 31 in Eq (7.28) gives the maximum power which is sometimes called the pull-out power. 7.2.9 Reactive Power:
The reactive power Q is determined from phasor diagram of Fig. 1(a) by noting that reactive power is equal to the product of voltage and quadrature lagging component of armature current.
............................................ (7.32) For a cylindrical-rotor machine, , and reactive power for this machine, From Eq. (7.32) is given by
7.33) Eq. (7.33) shows that When i.e. under normal excitation, and motor operates at unity p.f. When i.e. Motor is underexcited, Q is positive and, therefore, the motor draws reactive power from supply lines. When i.e. Motor is overexcited, Q is negative and, therefore, the motor delivers reactive power to the supply lines. For a salient-pole alternator, it can be shown that
For both the generator and motor operations, it can be stated in general that an over-excited ( machine delivers or exports reactive power to the supply system; an underexcited ( machine absorbs, imports or draws reactive power from the supply system. 7.3 Short Circuit Ratio (SCR): SCR of a synchronous machine helps in obtaining an estimate of its operating characteristics.
Fig. 7.10 Short Circuit Ratio SCR is defined as the ratio of field current required to generate rated voltage on open circuit, to the field current required to circulate rated armature current on three phase short circuit.
7 34) From Eq. 7.34 7 35) It is thus seen that SCR is equal to the reciprocal of per unit value of direct axis synchronous reactance Xd. SCR effects both the physical size and operating characteristics of the synchronous machine. A significance SCR can be gained from the following considerations. a) Low SCR: Low value of SCR means greater value of Xd. An examination of Fig.[] with , shows that low SCR results in large voltage variations with load and thus a poor voltage regulation. Therefore, in order to maintain constant
terminal voltage, the field current will have to be varied over a wide range. Eq. (7.28) shows that low value of SCR means less synchronous power P and consequently a lower stability limit. A low value of SCR means more Xd (or Xs) and therefore a low value of synchronizing power Ps ( The synchronizing power is transient in nature and come into play only when there is a disturbance in the system. In other words, the function of Ps is to keep the machine in synchronism. Therefore, a machine with low value of SCR has low synchronizing power and therefore a low tendency for keeping the machine in parallel with the infinite bus. A low value of SCR results in low value of armature short-circuits current.
b) High SCR: The synchronous machine with high SCR has better voltage regulation and improved steady-state stability limit. The disadvantage of high SCR is the high values of armature short-circuit current. A synchronous generator, feeding a long transmission, or cable, line, may be capacitive loaded in which ease of armature current leads the terminal voltage. The mmf set up by a leading armature current , aids the field mmf and consequently the generated voltage increases. In order to reduce the effect of armature mmf on the field mmf and to retain the voltage under control, air gap length should be increased, which means a synchronous machine with high SCR should be used. Transient Analysis: Transient behavior analysis is important because Determine the shaft stress.
Winding and bus bar stress. Protective relay setting. Circuit breaker rupturing duties etc.
For transient analysis two assumption, usually made during transient analysis, are as follows. The machine is running initially on no load and under steady-state condition. Speed before and after the short circuit remains unchanged from its synchronous speed Voltage equations for a synchronous generator are ( )

For transient analysis above equation have lengthy manipulations. In order to avoid this
some term in equation may be omitted to obtain an easier solution of the transient problem. A. All resistances neglected. With the neglect the resistances of both the field ( ) and armature windings and with alternator speed

Now from Eq. (7.37) and Eq. (7.38) Before the short circuit
Thus the effect of short circuit is to reduce to zero suddenly and this can be taken as equivalent to the sudden application of a unit step-function voltage to the q-axis terminal. Both before and after the short circuit, the voltage applied to the field winding is therefore superimposed voltage for field winding is zero.

7.5 Transient Torque: The object of this article is to calculate the maximum value of torque at the instant of short circuit. In order to do this the following assumptions are made: Field current remains constant at Maximum value of ; reached after sudden 3-phase short circuit dont decay. The torque in a cylindrical-rotor synchronous machine is given by 7.79) Therefore the short-circuit torque is ( where )

It is seen from above that maximum value of torque, after sudden 3-phase short circuit, is several times greater than its rated torque. 7.6 Sudden reactive loading and unloading: In this case, variation of currents and voltages is investigated when sudden reactive loading or
unloading of synchronous generators carried out. 7.6.1 Sudden reactive loading: It is assumed that the synchronous generator is initially unloaded and is developing a nominal terminal voltage at synchronous speed. The nature of balanced reactive loading may be inductive or capacitive. (a)Sudden inductive loading: For a sudden inductive loading, the load reactance XL is taken to be lumped with the alternator internal reactances and then sudden short circuit is assumed to occur at its terminals. Thus the r.m.s value of armature phase current at any time t is
..(7.84) The voltage across the load reactance XL at any time t is given by Therefore, 1..(7.85) 0
The variation of field current after sudden inductive loading XL, is given by

Starting of large induction motors is a fairly good example of sudden inductive loading of synchronous generators.
Examination of Eq. (8) shows that just after sudden inductive loading , the terminal voltage at once drops from Efo to OA= decreases finally to constant of . This value

The synchronous generator ,running at synchronous speed is initially connected to a reactive load.Here the behavior of alternator is investigated first with sudden removal of inductive load and then with the sudden removal of capacitive load.

Analysis:
qualitative
In this article e, a simple qualitative treatment of the transient behavior of the alternator, after a sudden three-phase short circuit is presented. For simplicity, the synchronous machine resistances are neglected. With this assumption, the total flux linkages with any close circuit cant change suddenly at the time of any disturbance. In other words, the flux linkages after sudden disturbance in any close circuit remain constant at their predisturbance valuethis fact has come to be known as constant flux linkage theorem.
Fig. 7.19 The Symmetrical waveforms for armature short-circuit current for a 3-phase synchronous generator With zero armature resistance, the steady-state armature short circuit current lags the excitation voltage by 90 as shown in fig(). This figure shows that short circuit armature m.m.f. is in the d-axis of the machine, consequently d-axis parameter are mainly involved during the short circuit analysis. This conclusion is revealed by Eq. (), which shows that the armature shortcircuit is affected by d-axis parameter and .

Alternatively, it may be assumed that the voltage regulator action takes place so as to keep the field flux linkages constant at their pre-disturbance value.

Dividing every term of the above equation by we get its rms value. ( )
Now this equation is suitable to draw the phasor diagram of synchronous machine which is shown in below.
Eq.(7.106) shows that when field flux linkage are considered constant ,the voltage remains constant during the transient state. In order to analyse sudden disturbance or sudden load application a power angle expression is useful. The power for synchronous machine is given by
But And ( )
. / The power angle expression of Eq.(7.107) is applicable for a period of time short as compared with the transient time constant .This period of time less than , is sufficient to cover the critical period in many transient and dynamic analysis. If the field flux linkages are maintained constant, then Eq.(7.107) is applicable till the period of time is maintained substantially constant by the voltage regulator action.
Fig. 7.24 The steady-state and transient power angle characteristics of synchronous machine In Fig.(7.24) the steady-state and transient power angle characteristics of a typical synchronous machine, from which it is seen that the general shape of the two curves is almost similar. Since is greater than , the
fundamental term of power has larger magnitude during transient state. The physical reason of the transient amplitude being greater than the steady state amplitude is that, just after the short-circuit, there is a suddenly induced component of field current which results in
greater excitation of the machine. Transient power angle curve of figure.(7.24) shows that a synchronous machine in a practical system can withstand a large suddenly applied power overload, provided its duration is relatively short as compared with . The transient power angle expression of Eq.(7.107) is usually simplified by neglecting the second harmonic term. The Fig.(7.23) shows is almost equal to in magnitude. Though is less than , yet it is almost
equal to the power given by Eq.(7.107). This is due to the fact that numerical value of second harmonic term in Eq.(7.107) is negative and the total transient power is equal to the difference of first term and the second harmonic term. In view of this the transient the transient power is given by
is more accurate than the use of Eq.(7.107)with transient saliency ignored ( ) .The voltage equation equivalent circuit of Fig. (7.25), leads to the
Fig.7.25. Approximate transient equivalent circuit of a synchronous machine. which is commonly employed when transients and dynamics of a complex multi machine system are to be investigated even with the help of computers. The voltage is called the voltage behind transient reactance.
Note that the use of the equivalent circuit is based on two assumptions as under: (i) The voltage behind transient reactance during the transient state is assumed constant. This means that the field flux constants are maintained constant during the transient time much less as compared to . (ii) The reactance and under transient conditions equal. This assumption only permits the neglect of transient saliency and enable to model the synchronous machine under transient condition by a single transient reactance of Fig.(7.25)

In in a power system network, asynchronous machine is represented by Fig.(7.26.b) under transient conditions. 7.8 Synchronous machine dynamics (electromechanical transients): Under normal running condition, the relative velocity between stator and rotor fields is zero. Whenever this relative position is disturbed, synchronizing restoring torques tending to maintain this equality come into play. This tendency of rotor to attain synchronous speed after a slight disturbance, is the basic reason for the analysis of synchronous- machine dynamics. The phenomena involving rotor oscillations about its final equilibrium position is called hunting. The nature of synchronous machine oscillations or hunting can be known only if its electro-mechanical transients are investigated.
The cause of disturbances in synchronous machines may be any one of the following: (i) A sudden change of load. (ii) A fault in the supply system. (iii) A sudden change in the field current, (iv) Load torque containing harmonic torques in case of motors, or prime-mover torque containing harmonic torques in case of synchronous generators. The effect of rotor oscillations on the performance of the synchronous machines is given below: (i) It increases the mechanical stresses and fatigue of the shaft. (ii) When working as a generator, the output voltage fluctuates which is an undesirable phenomenon (iii) It increase the machine losses and, therefore, increases its operating temperature.
(iv) The rotor oscillations may cause the machine to fall out of step. 7.8.1Electro-mechanical equation: In a synchronous machine the general torque balance equation is Where = electromagnetic torque

In generator, electric power flows out of it. Likewise electric torque , corresponding to electric power, flows out of the generator, should, therefore, be treated as negative. In view of this, Eq.(7.111) becomes;

The plot of Eqs.(7.122),(7.123),(7.124) and (7.125) are given for different values of damping ratio and it is seen that the magnitude of oscillations can be controlled by varying .
The value of (or ); as stated before, can be increased by using large cross-sectional damper bars. This will decrease the magnitude of rotor oscillations. 7.9 Cyclic variation of shaft torque (or Forced Oscillations)
An alternator driven by an internal combustion engine or a synchronous motor driving a reciprocating compressor is subjected to variable shaft torques. The variable torque is equivalent to an average torque plus a large variety of harmonic torques. If any one of the harmonic torque component has a frequency approaching , the amplitude of oscillations increases and the machine may fall out of step. Such a state of affairs must be carefully investigated. If the frequency differs by more than 25% from the frequency of forced oscillations, it is then assumed that stable operation remains unaffected. Let the harmonic-torque component variable shaft torque be represented by ; where is the maximum amplitude of harmonic torque and its angular frequency is

Since the harmonic torque persists for a long time, only steady state solution is important, which in phasor form, can be obtained by putting circuits. The maximum amplitude of oscillation, in phasor form, from Eq. (7.126), is , as it is done in case of a.c.
