- ItemSimulation of the dynamic response of a synchronous generator(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1990) Badenhorst, Frederik Lodewyk Christiaan; Van der Merwe, F. S.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Engineering. Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis uses the constructional detail of an alternator to derive the impedance matrix of the alternator. The 3-phase machine with a stationary reference frame is then transformed to a 2-phase machine with a rotating reference frame. This transformed impedance matrix is then used in the voltage equation of the machine to calculate the dynamic response. The thesis also discusses a method of relating a machine with more than two damper circuits to the standard textbook theory of a machine with only two damper circuits. Considerable space has been devoted to the implementation of the algorithms derived on a computer.
