Determination of a synchronous generator characteristics via Finite Element Analysis

Abstract

In the paper a determination of characteristics of a small salient pole synchronous generator (SG) is presented. Machine characteristics are determined via Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and for that purpose is used the software package FEMM Version 3.3. After performing their calculation and analysis, one can conclude that most of the characteristics presented in this paper can be obtained only by using the Finite Element Method (FEM).nema
