Synchronous Generators
摘要
In this chapter, the equivalent model of a synchronous generator is presented, and its voltage regulation, power factor control, and complex power flow are studied. In synchronous machines, armature windings and field windings are placed in a stator and rotor, respectively. Like other rotating electric machines, a synchronous machine can be operated as a generator or motor. Synchronous generators are the main source of power generation in power systems. They are driven by a variety of prime movers such as gas turbines, steam turbines, and hydro-turbines to generate bulk power.
