Abstract

This paper presents a mathematical model for synchronous generator that can be used for internal faults simulation. The model can be used to produce realistic test waveforms for the evaluation of protection system used for synchronous generators. The model is capable of simulating any kind of internal faults on any type of winding configurations. The mathematical model is implemented in MATLAB-SIMULINK. It has been demonstrated that the MATLAB is a powerful tool to implement the complex machine model. The accuracy and simplicity of the model make it reliable and efficient in synchronous generator internal faults study.
