Study of salient poles synchronous generator by finite elements analysis

This paper presents the finite elements analysis (FEA) of a salient poles synchronous generator. The goal of this analysis is to determine the machine parameters in steady-state regime and in transient regime respectively. The used FEA techniques and obtained results for a case study will be presented as well. Finally the FEA results will be compared to the experimental ones and a 2D transient with motion analysis will be performed.
