Synchronous Generators

This book explores large- and medium-power synchronous generator topologies, steady state, modeling, transients, control, design, and testing. Numerous case studies, worked-out examples, sample results, and illustrations highlight the concepts. Fully revised and updated to reflect the last decade¿s worth of progress in the field, the second edition adds coverage of high-power wind generators with fewer or no permanent magnets (PMs), PM-assisted DC-excited salient pole synchronous generators, autonomous synchronous generators¿ control, line switching parameter identification for isolated grids, synthetic back-to-back load testing with inverter supply, and more.
