Abstract

This paper presents the modeling of saturated salient pole synchronous machines in standard d-q axes. First, a complete synthesis of possible d-q axes models is given.Second, the salient pole synchronous machine is transformed into an equivalent smooth air gap machine, in order to apply the main flux saturation method. Third, a description of a procedure to introduce magnetic saturation in found models is presented. Finally, transient simulation and related experimentation are carried out to ensure the validity and the accuracy of models.

Key words: Salient pole synchronous machines, models synthesis, saturation modeling.
