Modeling and analysis of a salient poles synchronous machines using finite-elements method

This paper presents the finite element modelling of a three-phase synchronous machine (3 kW-1500 rpm). In addition to analyzing the electromagnetic behaviour of the machine, various tests (no-load, short-circuit and load tests) was performed virtually using Maxwell software and validated experimentally. This work aims to parametric identification of machines and creation of a virtual laboratory of machine tests at Dept. of Electrical Engineering at the University of Constantine 1, Algeria.
