Transient State Finite Element Analysis of a Three Phase Synchronous Machine for
Variable Load Cases
Abstract
According to the mechanical energy source, synchronous machines can be operated at high speeds in steam turbines or
at low speeds in hydraulic power plants and it is important for system planning to study the working characteristics of
the machine in no-load and variable load situations at these cycles. In the derivation of these characteristics, multi-
machine parameters can be evaluated dynamically and the behaviors of synchronous machines can be examined by
using the finite element analysis method. In this study, the efficiency of the 3-phase synchronous machine resized with

ANSYS Maxwell software is investigated in terms of the efficiency of the variable load cases, the induced voltage, the
phase currents, the phase voltages and the amount of torque.

Alternators are the most basic synchronous electric machines that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy,
while synchronous motors are synchronous machines that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Synchronous machines are electric machines with alternating current in stator windings, direct current in rotor windings
and rotating or rotating synchronously with rotor speed. By using synchronous machines in parallel, the production
capacities can be increased to hundreds of thousands of megawatts.

Multi-parameter dynamic solution of three-phase synchronous machine is complex and difficult with analytical
methods. In the analysis of the synchronous machine, Finite Element Analysis (SEA), which is the solution reaching
method, is used by dividing the nonlinear machine components system into smaller subcomponents. The finite element
method is one of the preferred numerical methods in the analysis of electrical machines due to its ability to identify
nonlinear materials and to easily model complex physical parts.

By the analyzes, efficiency in variable load cases, induced voltage in determined cycles, phase currents, phase voltages
and torque amounts are presented separately according to the electrical angle change.

In this study, three phase synchronous machine operating characteristics are investigated in no-load and variable load
cases at variable speeds. In the analysis using the finite element method, the machine's multi-parameters were evaluated
dynamically and the behaviors of the synchronous machines were examined using ANSYS Maxwell software. In this
study, the efficiency of a 3-phase synchronous machine with variable load, induced voltage, phase currents, phase
voltages and torque amounts at specified cycles are presented separately according to the electrical angle change. It can
be said that the analysis results can be used as an important planning element in the energy production planning when
it is considered that the machine under review is used in the production, which will feed an electric grid, which requires
variable load.
