SA LIENT· POLE THEORY OF SYNC HR ONOUS MACHINES 733

The angle 0 of EAcan be found by using infonnation known at the tenninals


of the generator. Notice that the phasor E;' which is given by

I EA = V4> + RAIA + jXq IA I (C-8)

is collinear with the internal generated voltage EA' Since E; is determined by the
current at the terminal s of the generato r, the angle {) can be detennined with a
know ledge of the annature current. Once the angle 0 is known, the annature cur·
rent can be broken down into direct and quadrature components, and the internal
generated voltage can be detennined.

Example C- 1. A 480-V, 60-Hz, d-cOIlllected, four-pole synchronous generator


has a direct-axis reactance of 0.1 n, and a quadrature-axis reactance of 0.075 n. Its anna-
ture resistance may be neglected. At fun load, this generator supplies 1200 A at a power
factor of 0.8 lagging.
(a) Find the internal generated voltage EA of this generator at full load, assruning
that it has a cylindrical rotor of reactance Xd .
(b) Find the internal generated voltage EA of this generator at fun load, assuming it
has a salient-pole rotor.
Solutioll
(a) Since this generator is d-connected, the armature current at fun load is

IA = 12~A = 693 A

The power factor of the current is 0.8 lagging, so the impedance angle () of the
load is
() = cos- l 0.8 = 36.87°
Therefore, the internal generated voltage is
EA = V4> + jXSIA
= 480 L 0° V + j(O.1 nX693 L - 36.87° A)
= 480 L 0° + 69.3 L 53.13° = 524.5 L 6.1° V
Notice that the torque angle 8 is 6.1°.
(b) Asswne that the rotor is salient. To break down the current into direct- and
quadrature-axis components, it is necessary to know the direction of EA. This di-
rection may be detennined from Equation (C- 8):
(C-8)

= 480L 0° V + 0 V + j(0JJ75 nX693L -36.87° A)


= 480LO° + 52L53.13° = 513L4.65" V
The direction of EA is 8 = 4.65". The magnitude of the direct-axis component of
ClUTent is thus
Id = IA sin ({) + /))
= (693 A) sin (36.87 + 4.65) = 459 A

and the magnitude of the quadrature-axis component of current is


Iq = IA cos «() + Ii)
= (693 A) cos (36.87 + 4.65) = 519 A
Combining magnitudes and angles yields
Id = 459 L -85.35° A
Iq = 519 L 4.65° A
The resulting internal generated voltage is
+ RA IA + jXdld + jX,}-q
EA = Vo/>
= 480 L 0° V + 0 V + j(O.1 0)(459 L -85.35" A) + j(0.075 OX519 L 4.65" A)
= 524.3 L 4.65° V
Notice that the magnitude O/ EA is not much affected by the salient poles, but the
angle of EA is considerably different with salient poles than it is without salient
poles.
