Determination of the parameters representing the cross-magnetizing effect in saturated synchronous machines

This paper introduces the concept of the cross-magnetizing phenomenon in saturated synchronous machines (the magnetic coupling between the direct and quadrature-axis). The parameters which represent this cross-magnetizing effect are defined and techniques for determining these parameters are proposed. In these techniques, there is no need for an auxiliary winding in the q-axis of the machine and, thus, they can be applied to conventional synchronous machines. Experimental results which verify the accuracy of these techniques are presented
