Description

Wound Field Synchronous Machine (WFSM)

Model of a three-phase Wound Field Synchronous Machine (WFSM). In motor operation torque and speed have the same sign. Rotor Angle is defined as the angle between the a-phase and the d-axis. Stator winding is star connected in this model. To access the neutral point pin, check the "Neutral Point" checkbox in the properties menu.

Electrical model and equations

v_a = R_s i_a + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{aa} i_a + L_{ab} i_b + L_{ac} i_c + L_{amf} i_f )
v_b = R_s i_b + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{ba} i_a + L_{bb} i_b + L_{bc} i_c + L_{bmf} i_f )
v_c = R_s i_c + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{ca} i_a + L_{cb} i_b + L_{cc} i_c + L_{cmf} i_f )
v_f = R_f i_f + \frac{d}{dt} (L_{amf} i_a + L_{bmf} i_b + L_{cmf} i_c + L_{f} i_f )

Phase inductances (L_{aa}, L_{ab}, L_{ac},..., L_{cc}) are calculated from the stator inductance in the synchronous reference frame (L_{d}, L_{q}) defined in the property panel as the incremental inductance.
Field inductances (L_{amf}, L_{bmf}, L_{cmf} and L_{f}) are calculated from the field circuit self- and mututal- inductance (L_{f}, M_{fd}).

Electromechanical equations

Electro-magnetic torque:

T_e = 1.5 * N_{ pp}*(i_q * \phi_d - i_d * \phi_q)

where \phi_d = L_d i_d + 2/3 * M_{fd} * i_f and \phi_q = L_q i_q

Mechanical rotational speed \Omega:

J \frac{d\Omega}{ dt} = T_e - B \Omega
