Synchronous Machine

All conventional power plants use synchronous generators


for converting power to electrical form

In Synchronous Generator, a DC current is applied to
rotor winding to produce rotor magnetic field.

The rotor is turned by prime-mover producing a rotating
magnetic field.

The rotating magnetic field produce three phase sets of
voltages within the stator.
Armature winding [in stator]
Field winding [in rotor]

Basically load angle is the angle between rotor
magnetic field and stator magnetic field.

The P() curve shows that the
increase of power increases the angle
between the induced voltage and the
terminal voltage.

The power is maximum when =90
0


The further increase of input power
forces the generator out of
synchronism.

The maximum power is the static
stability limit of the system.

Safe operation requires a 15-20%
power reverse.
Stability of Electrical System
Power System Stability denotes the ability of an electric
power system, for a given initial operating condition, to
regain a state of operating equilibrium after being
subjected to a physical disturbance, with all system
variables bounded so that the system integrity is
preserved.

Stability is a condition of equilibrium between opposing
forces.

Instability results when a disturbance leads to a sustained
imbalance between the opposing forces.
