Some aspects of comparing the operational properties of synchronous machines with a conventional and two mutually shifted excitation windings

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the operational properties of traditional and two-valve synchronous machines with a rotor, having a reciprocating axis, excited from independent regulated DC sources, is generalized. On the basis of research, it has been shown that the use of a control quadrature excitation winding significantly improves the performance of synchronous machines at low costs for its manufacture. The authors have shown a significant improvement in the performance of machines with different operating modes based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies carried out on synchronous machines with a rotating axis of magnetic saturation, attached to various designs of quadrature excitation winding. It has been recognized that neglecting magnetic saturation in performance calculations for synchronous machines leads to significant estimation errors properties of the studied machine. In addition, the advantages of synchronous machines with sine-cosine field winding are shown. With an insignificant complication of the manufacturing technology, it opens the way to solving the problem of creating energy-saving turbine generators, which have a property that is very important for the practice of operation, i.e. an almost unchanged (sinusoidal) shape of the resulting magnetic field in the air gap of the machine within the allowable range of load variation under steady-state symmetric modes.
