ABSTRACT

A synchronous machine consists essentially of two elements, first an element to produce a rotating magnetic field and a second element to couple with the field and rotate relative to the first and thereby produce electromechanical energy conversion. Although the flux linkages are now a much more complicated function of the currents, this complexity does not prevent the transformation of the equations to a rotating frame. Because the stator flux linkage variation is complicated by the saliency of the rotor, the manipulation of the stator flux linkage equation is much more difficult than for the stator voltage equation. In order to use the concept of winding functions, it is necessary that the same current flow in each individual conductor. Although the three winding functions of are rectangular, only the fundamental component actually couples the sinusoidal winding function representing stator phase as.
