In this paper, the electrical transient mode of synchronous generators is studied, four different simulation model of synchronous generator on sudden short circuit was built, various physical quantities were studied by simulation during the short circuit. By comparing theoretics with simulation, various physical quantities of synchronous generator produced tremendous impact and surge during the sudden circuit and they stabilized in the proceeding state of short circuit. Thoroughly simulation analyzed, the results of simulation are identical with theoretical analysis. The simulation results show that these influence factors should be considered when we design the relay protections.

The growing number of renewable energy plants connected to the power system through static converters have been pushing the development of new strategies to ensure transient stability of these systems. The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) emerged as a way to contribute to the system stabilization by emulating the behavior of traditional synchronous machines in the power converters operation. This paper proposes a modification in the VSG implementation to improve its contribution to the power system transient stability. The proposal is based on the virtualization of the resistive superconducting fault current limiters’ (SFCL) behavior through an adaptive control that performs the VSG armature resistance change in short-circuit situations. A theoretical analysis of the problem is done based on the equal-area criterion, simulation results are obtained using PSCAD, and experimental results are obtained in a Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) test bench to corroborate the proposal. Results show an increase in the system transient stability margin, with an increase in the fault critical clearing time (CCT) for all virtual resistance values added by the adaptive control to the VSG operation during the short-circuit.

Single-phase short-circuits are most often faults in electrical systems. The analysis of this damage type is taken for backup power supply systems, from small power synchronous generators. For these hybrid installations, there is a need for standard protection devices, such as fuses or miniature circuit breaker (MCB) analysis. Experimental research mentioned that a typical protective apparatus in low-voltage installations, working correctly during supplying from the grid, does not guarantee fast off-switching, while short-circuits occur during supplication from the backup generator set. The analysis of single-phase short-circuits is executed both for current waveform character (including sub-transient and transient states) and the carried energy, to show the problems with the fuses and MCB usage, to protect circuits in installations fed in a hybrid way (from the grid and synchronous generator set).

Reliable supply of consumers with electric energy largely depends on the reliability of power source function-ing. In the context of this paper it depends on synchronous generators operating in autonomous power supply sys-tems. In contrast to the power plant generators which are part of power systems and are protected from the loads by sufficiently large resistances, power supply systems withautonomous generators are characterized by rather low resistances. Abrupt changes in the supply load parameters, their own transient and emergency modes, for example, short circuits at the generator terminals, forcing excitation, etc. may lead to various failures in the synchronous gener-ator operation. This paper discusses the possibility of over-voltage in the valve excitation system of a synchronous generator with external three-phase short circuits. On the basis of analytical expressions describing the physical pro-cesses occurring in the excitation system of synchronous generators, the conditions for the occurrence of overvolt-ages are identified

Creating a unified fault diagnosis model that can detect faults across systems with different ratings (system independent fault diagnosis) would be of great interest in making condition-based maintenance (CBM) more popular. In this work, three phase synchronous generators with 3 and 5 kVA ratings are used for detecting stator inter-turn short circuit faults.Our baseline is a 3 kVA generator working at 1 A load during training and testing, to emulate the system/load dependent fault diagnosis. We obtained a classification accuracy of 99.75%, 100% and 100% for R phase, Y phase and B phase faults respectively. Subsequently, we evaluated the system for its load independent performance. Performance accuracy deteriorated due to the load specific variations (LSV) in the input feature vector (IFV). LSV is undesired, and we used nuisance attribute projection (NAP) to remove them. Using NAP, we obtained a performance improvement of 23.13%, 17.75% and 20.72% for three fault models on the 3 kVA generator and similar performance improvement was obtained for 5 kVA generator also.Further, we experimented for load and system independent fault diagnosis. In this case, we consider LSV and system specific variations (SSV) on IFV as undesired. We experimented with two types of NAP, (1) single step NAP, (2) stacked NAP. Experimental results show that the two staged stacked NAP outperforms. We obtained an improvement of 23.99%, 16.06% and 28.39%, in classification accuracy for three fault models, resulting in overall classification accuracy of 89.22%, 94.67% and 94.59% for R phase, Y phase and B phase fault models respectively.

Generally, the fault current supplied by inverter-based renewable energy sources (IBRES) and electrical storage systems (ESS) is about 1.2 to 2 times their rated current and much lower than synchronous generators because the former acts as a current source and the latter acts as a voltage source. A conventional power system in a small island is composed of only synchronous generators and protected from short circuit faults using an overcurrent relay (OCR). However, in the remote microgrid with IBRES, ESS, and synchronous generators, the fault current varies depending on the configuration of generation sources. Namely, the fixed OCR protection method cannot protect microgrids from short circuit faults. This paper proposes an adaptive protection method to protect the microgrid from faults by actively changing the OCR setting according to the state of the generator source combination. A microgrid with ESS and a synchronous generator is modeled and simulated through PSCAD/EMTDC software to validate the proposed adaptive protection method.

The paper presents a description of the method and the results of calculating the leakage reactance of high-power synchronous generator end windings using the finite element method. This reactance is one of the components of the stator leakage reactance of synchronous generators. The calculations were carried out under the assumption of a three-dimensional field distribution in a synchronous generator. The thus calculated value of the leakage reactance of the end windings was compared with the calculation results obtained using traditional, analytical formulas known from the literature. The analysis of the influence of the reactance value of the end windings on the transient waveforms at a three-phase short-circuit of the stator windings was performed based on a two-dimensional field-circuit model.

This paper investigates the small-signal stability of grid integrated Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) and Photovoltaic (PV) system. The short-circuit study is conducted for the New England 39-bus system using DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. The short-circuit study and dynamic simulation are performed for the study system with distributed generators. Furthermore, the eigenvalues are computed for the various damping level of synchronous generators. The influence of negative damping of synchronous machine with PV generator, DFIG based WTG in the study system is investigated. The eigenvalue analysis results shows that due to negative damping of synchronous generator the system become unstable even with PV generator and DFIG based WTG in the system. The time domain simulation results show that real power generation of the synchronous generator is decreased due to negative damping and its reactive power generation is increased.

This paper studies the stator winding electromagnetic force behaviors before and after rotor inter-turn short circuit (RISC) in synchronous generator. Different from other studies, this paper not only studies the electromagnetic force characteristics, but also investigates the mechanical responses, the damage regularity, and the countermeasure of the stator winding. Firstly, formulas of electromagnetic force online and end part are obtained. Then, a 3D finite element model of a 3-pair-pole simulation generator is applied to get the electromagnetic force, and the dangerous stator slot is found. Finally, the mechanical response of each end winding is acquired, and especially the directional deformations of nose part are calculated. It shows that the occurrence of RISC will bring in times of rotor rotating frequency components to electromagnetic force, but the DC component and 2p times of rotor rotating frequency components are still the main that will be decreased. Additionally, the winding insulation wear in the same layer is more serious than that in a different layer, nose fatigue fracture begins with the center, and nose insulation wear starts from the top.

This paper presents an analysis of the short-circuit currents of a synchronous generator with a rated power of 16 kVA. For this purpose, the authors carried out measurements of real short-circuit currents during laboratory tests. Additionally, a simulation model of the generator was developed according to the individual machines data from the catalog and field calculations in ANSYS Maxwell software. Based on the mentioned research, the authors compared waveforms of the symmetrical short-circuit currents. In this paper, the last compared family of short-circuit current waveforms was obtained using analytic calculations. As the presented comparison shows, the assumed method of selecting short-circuit waveforms impacted their values. However, the difference in energy related to short-circuit currents did not influence on the selection of the short-circuit protections, especially at low values of steady-state short-circuit currents and short time constants characteristic for the generators, performing the functions of an alternative power supply. Regardless of the research method, the results presented in the article show that the selection of the short-circuit protections is complicated in case of hybrid electrical systems equipped with low power generators.
