5 Modelling of ac rotating machines

5.1 General

The short-circuit performance of ac rotating machines in power systems is of fundamental importance in the analysis of short-circuit currents and hence the safety of people and reliability of power systems. The modelling of rotating machines presents, in general, one of the most complex problems in the analysis of power systems. Fortunately, however, the required modelling detail of rotating machines depends on the type of study to be undertaken. In practice, different models are developed and used for load flow, short circuit, dynamic or electromechanical analysis and three-phase electromagnetic transient analysis, etc. The eventual aim of this chapter is to present the modelling of rotating ...
