Analysis of Single Phase to Ground Fault in Synchronous Generator Using Ansys Co-Simulation

The paper analyzes single-phase-to-ground faults in a synchronous generator using Ansys co-simulation. The study involves developing a detailed model of the generator using Ansys Maxwell and Ansys Simplorer to understand its behavior under different working conditions. The simulation results are validated through laboratory experiments, ensuring the accuracy of the approach. The research provides insights into the generator's operations under both normal and faulty conditions, contributing to a better understanding of its performance. The findings demonstrate the potential of using Ansys-based models as a reliable alternative to conducting experiments that may involve risks or high costs. The paper also highlights the possibility of expanding the model to simulate other fault scenarios and utilizing machine learning algorithms for effective condition monitoring of generator.
