Synchronous Generator
• In Synchronous Generator, a DC current is
applied to rotor winding (produce rotor
magnetic field).
• The rotor is turned by primeover producing a
rotating magnetic field.
• The rotating magnetic field produce three
phase sets of voltages within the stator.
• Armature winding [in stator]
• Field winding [in rotor]

• The voltage EA is the
induced voltage produced
in one phase of a
synchronous generator. EA
is not usually the voltage
that appears at the
terminals of the generator.
The only time EA is the
same as the output
voltage Vφ of the phase
when there is no armature
current flowing in the
machine (during no load).
• There are many factors that
cause the difference
between and
including:
– The distortion of the air-gap
magnetic field by the current
flowing in the stator, called
armature reaction.
– The resistance of the armature
coils,
– The self inductance of the
armature coils

Phasor Diagram
 Voltages in a synchronous
generator are expressed as phasors
because they are AC voltages. Since
we have magnitude and angle, the
relationship between voltage and
current must be expressed by a
two-dimensional plot.
 It is noticed that, for a given
phase voltage and armature
current, a larger induced voltage EA
is required for lagging loads than
leading loads.

Power Relationships
 Not all the mechanical power going into a synchronous generator becomes
electrical power out of the machine. The difference between input power and
output power represents the losses of the machine. The input mechanical power
is the shaft power in the generator.

Power Angle Characteristics
 The P(δ) curve shows that the
increase of power increases the angle
between the induced voltage and the
terminal voltage.
 The power is maximum when δ=90o
 The further increase of input power
forces the generator out of
synchronism. This generates large
current and mechanical forces.
 The maximum power is the static
stability limit of the system.
 Safe operation requires a 15-20%
power reverse.

Example:

synchronous generator has a synchronous reactance of 0.25 Ω and
an armature resistance of 0.04 Ω. At 60 Hz, its friction and windage
losses are 6 KW and its core losses are 4 KW. Assume that the field
current of the generator has been adjusted to a value of 4.5 A so
that the open-circuit terminal voltage of the generator is 477 V.
Determine:
a) The terminal voltage of the generator, if it is connected to Δ-
connected load with an impedance of Ω.
b)The efficiency.
c)Sketch the phasor diagram of this generator
d)If another identical Δ-connected load is connected in parallel,
determine the new terminal voltage.

• The behavior of Synch. Generator
depend on the power factor of the
load and whether the generator
operating alone or parallel . By
assuming SG operating alone , what
happens when we increase the load
on this generator?
– At lagging power factor the increase of
load current will decrease the terminal
voltage significantly.
– At unity power factor, the increase of
load current will decrease the terminal
voltage only slightly.
– At leading power factor the increase of
load current will increase the terminal
voltage.
18

Voltage Regulation
 As the load on the generator increases, the terminal voltage
drops (lagging and unity PF loads cases). But, the terminal voltage,
must be maintained constant, and hence the excitation on the
machine is varied, or input power to the generator is varied. That
means, EA has to be adjusted to keep the terminal voltage VT
constant.

changed, then Ф

The procedure:
• Decreasing the field
resistance will increase
its field current.
• The increase of field
current will increase the
flux and increase the EA,
and the Vф will increase.

Benefits:
• Increases the real and reactive power supply in the
system.
• Increase the reliability of the power system.
• Allows shut down and preventive maintenance for
some generators.
• Allows the operation near full load then maximum
efficiency can be obtained.

The conditions required for Paralleling
Syn. Generators
The following requirements have
to be satisfied prior to connecting
an alternator to other generator.
1. The rms line voltage of the two
generators must be equal.
2. The two generators must have the
same phase sequence (aa’ bb’ cc’).
3. The frequency of the oncoming
alternator must be slightly higher than
the frequency of the running system.

Parallel operation of two Syn. generators of
the same size
• The sum of the real and reactive powers supplied
by the two generators must equal to the P and Q
demanded by the load. This will not change unless
demand change
• The system frequency is not constrained to
constant, and neither is the power of a given
generator is constrained to constant.
• The increase of the governor set point will increase
the system frequency, increase the real power
supplied by G1 and reduce the power of second G2.
• The increase of field current will increase the
system terminal voltage, increase reactive power of
G1 and reduce reactive power of G2.

Connection with infinite bus
The following requirements have to be
satisfied prior to connecting an
alternator to the infinite bus
(connection line).
1. The line voltage of the (incoming)
alternator must be equal to the constant
voltage of the of the infinite bus.
2. The frequency of the incoming alternator
must be exactly equal to that of the
infinite bus.
3. The phase sequence of the incoming
alternator must be identical to the phase
sequence of the infinite bus.
