1. INTRODUCTION
Transient synchronous generator models extensively applied in many areas take the part of
important parts as the beginning point of any power system stability studies. Various generator models have
been developed [1]–[4]. For such analysis studies, the models of simple transient states based on the common
method, such as the primary swing stability of electromechanical oscillation of the rotor, is useful but not
suitable to envisage generator performance concerning control experiments; it creates dissimilar results with
the measurements [5]–[8].
The hypothesis that the reciprocated inductances among armature, dampers, and field on direct axis
windings are similar is the basis of conventional stability theory of the generator model. Moreover, both copper
losses and machine slots are ignored and the latitudinal distribution of the stator fluxes and apertures wave are
sinusoidal wave forms. The damper winding that are placed near air-gap present flux linking damper circuits
whose value is nearly equal to flux linking armature. This assumption accelerates satisfactory outcomes for
many stability studies particularly individuals of network side [9]–[15]. Nevertheless, once it tackles to field
current explores, there is a substantial error. Concerning transient condition, the measurements of field current
have exposed greater alternating amplitude [16]. Traditional model of two-axis framework designates only the
armature circuit appropriately. The additional inductance that indicating the disparity between field-damper and
field-armature reciprocated inductances on d axis has to be involved in the model [17]. This inductance 𝑋𝐶
named Canay inductance, takes significant role to the leakage flux 𝛷𝐶 , shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b) once
Canay inductance is neglected, together base current of field winding and inductance of armature leakage are
regarded free parameters. During assessing an identical circuit model, the residual parameters are attained for
the purpose of the model replicates same behaviour from terminal viewpoint. The leakage inductance may
possibly not be equal to the value provided by the real system. One method to creating the rotor circuit is to
model such effect by a low-order ladder circuit of RL branches in order to look like the complex frequency-
dependent nature of the rotor’s surface impedance [18]. Another approach is to model it in conjunction with that
traditionally viewed the partition of current paths from the physical structure [19], [20]. In addition to both
physical field and damper circuits, a third circuit for the eddy currents induced could also be inserted in the pole
surface. These three current paths are in near closeness in the rotor slot.
This study describes the method whereabouts synchronous generator model for stability
investigation constructed on the hypothesis that the mutual inductances among armature, dampers, and field
on direct axis windings are not the same. Procedure for making the proposed equivalent model and how the
advantage of proposed model compare to formerly conventional model are demonstrated. Section 2 tells
research method. Section 3 describes result and analysis. While, the conclusion is described in last section.

2. METHOD
In order to compute the machine parameters correspondents to the actual measured responses, the
rotor winding quantities, a better arrangement can be attained with enhancementsts in the structure of the d
axis model. Shielding impacts of the damper currents and eddy currents induced in rotor can influence
transient characteristics significantly. The value of this effect depends on the rotor construction.
Using relation between magnetic and electric circuits described in [21], [22], each of the flux
components coupling that the current paths may be transformed to a mutual inductance in an equivalent
circuit representative of rotor where the identity of these current paths are preserved. Figure 3 shows an
improved qd circuit model with three q and three d rotor circuits. The inductance, 𝐿′𝑟1𝑐 and 𝐿′𝑟2𝑐 , are the
coupling inductances associated with the flux components in the rotor slot, such as 𝜙𝑟1𝑐 and 𝜙𝑟2𝑐 . The
inductances, 𝐿′𝑙1𝑐 , 𝐿′𝑙2𝑐 , and 𝐿′𝑙3𝑐 , are from the self-leakages of the field, damper, and eddy current.
Those equation aimed at equivalent circuit through three rotor circuits in Figure 3 [23] can be shown
as (1).

Determining parameters of generator model to acceptable the frequency response test data, a correct model is
decided by first selecting the suitable circuit representation. Consequently, to overlook the leakage couplings
of three d axis rotor circuits is not analogous to dumping the off-diagonal term of full X matrix in (2), as
diagonal values from a parameter suitable could be different between without and with off diagonal elements.

Where 𝑖𝑓𝑜 is field current before abrupt short circuit; while 𝑇𝑘𝑑 denotes time constant of d axis damper
circuit, and others are general reactance and time constants expressed by the two-axis theory. The magnitude
of the field current will vary with the existence of perturbations. The emergence of torsional disturbances
causes the value of the field current to decrease. Conversely, a disturbance in the input voltage will increase
the field current. but after the disturbance subsides the field current value returns to its previous value.

4. CONCLUSION
The authors examined synchronous generator dynamics, for example field current characteristics at
transients, three-phase sudden short-circuit in specific. The following goals are described: i) To observe the
field current effect based on the quantity in the three-phase abrupt short-circuit experiment, a model of
synchronous generator concerning field mutual leakage reactance, namely Canay reactance, that relates to
magnetic flux connecting merely on the rotor area should desire be applied; ii) The simulation results display
that the field current in the short circuit assessment will be dissimilar due to occurrence of different types of
perturbations; and iii) Considering dynamic stability, the resulting trends are noticed in filed current
fluctuating frequency for application of high excitation: a. designed for 𝑥𝑟𝑐 > 0, negative damping trend
rises; b. designed for 𝑥𝑟𝑐 ≤ 0, negative damping trend recovers.
