Influence of saturation on estimated synchronous machine parameters in standstill frequency response tests

In this paper the measurement results of a series of standstill frequency response tests, performed at different magnetization levels, are discussed. For each data set an individual model is estimated, which allows the variation of the different parameters to be seen as a function of the saturation. Further, an estimator is presented which uses the different data sets to estimate one global model, including the field to armature turns ratio. Finally the expected error level of a more traditional saturated synchronous machine model is studied.
