The equation describing the relative motion is known as the swing equation, which is a non-linear second order differential equation that describes the swing of the rotor of synchronous machine. The power exchange between the mechanical rotor and the electrical grid due to the rotor swing (acceleration and deceleration) is called Inertial response.
Synchronous impedance curve (short-circuit characteristic curve), showing armature current as function of field current. The curve is obtained by rotating the generator at the rated RPM with the output terminals shorted and the output current going to 100% of the rated for the device (higher values are typically not tested to avoid overheating ...
In a synchronous generator, [1] the short circuit ratio is the ratio of field current required to produce rated armature voltage at the open circuit to the field current required to produce the rated armature current at short circuit. [1] [2] This ratio can also be expressed as an inverse of the saturated [3] direct-axis synchronous reactance ...
Inertial response is a property of large synchronous generators, which contain large synchronous rotating masses, and which acts to overcome any immediate imbalance between power supply and demand for electric power systems, typically the electrical grid.
The synchronous reactances are exhibited by the armature in the steady-state operation of the machine. [8] The three-phase system is viewed as a superposition of two: the direct one, where the maximum of the phase current is reached when the pole is oriented towards the winding and the quadrature one, that is 90° offset.
A permanent magnet synchronous generator is a generator where the excitation field is provided by a permanent magnet instead of a coil. The term synchronous refers here to the fact that the rotor and magnetic field rotate with the same speed, because the magnetic field is generated through a shaft-mounted permanent magnet mechanism, and current is induced into the stationary armature.
Short circuit ratio (synchronous generator), a value used to characterize the stability of an electromechanical generator Short circuit ratio (electrical grid) , a metric to characterize the grid strength ("stiffness").
A synchronous generator’s rotating mass acts as a bank of kinetic energy for the grid to counteract changes in frequency – it can either provide or absorb power from the grid – caused by an imbalance of electric power supply and demand – in the form of kinetic energy by speeding up or slowing down.
