Abstract

In this paper the Standstill Frequency Response characteristics (SSFR) of saturated synchronous generator (SG) have been calculated using Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis. In order to validate proposed approach for unsaturated conditions FEM simulation from Flux2D software has been compared with the measurements performed on the 10 kVA, 4-poles synchronous machine ELMOR GCe64a of salient rotor construction, equipped with a damper winding. Then, using the validated FEM model SSFR characteristics of the saturated machine have been recalculated by performing the FEM simulations with the variation of the magnetic permeability parameter.
