Two Full Parameter Identification Methods for Synchronous Machine Applying DC-Decay Tests for a Rotor in Arbitrary Position

Jean-Jacques Simond, Mai Tu Xuan, Frédéric Michael Maurer

The main obstacle to a wide use of dc-Decay tests lies in the necessity to align the rotor with the d- or q-axis, which is very difficult to perform for high-power units. The goal of this paper is to propose and validate standstill dc-Decay measuring metho ...

Two Novel Methods for Parameter Identification of Synchronous Machine Using DC-Decay Test with Rotor in Arbitrary Position

Jean-Jacques Simond, Mai Tu Xuan, Frédéric Michael Maurer

The goal of this paper is to propose and validate standstill DC-Decay measuring methods for a rotor in arbitrary position. The first new method (DC-Decay I) delivers the equivalent circuit with a few measurements. The second new method (DC-Decay III) permi ...

Eigenvalues Analysis Applied to the Stability Study of a Variable Speed Pump Turbine Unit

Basile Kawkabani, Jean-Jacques Simond

This paper presents an eigenvalues analysis method for an induction machine model based on phase variables a, b, c. This approach is validated by comparison with ad, q approach and applied to a variable speed pump-turbine unit using a simplified model of t ...

Optimization of the Start-up Time of a Variable Speed Pump-Turbine Unit in Pumping Mode

Basile Kawkabani, Jean-Jacques Simond, Christophe Nicolet, Yves Pannatier

This paper presents the start-up and synchronization procedures of large variable- speed pump-turbine units in pumping mode. These procedures applied to a doubly-fed induction motor-generator with three-level voltage source inverters VSI cascade in the rot ...

Finite Element Model of Electrical Machines Coupled to the Grid Simulation Software

Jean-Jacques Simond, Mai Tu Xuan, Gilles Rosselet

Using a finite element (FE) model of the electrical machine in a grid solver enables us to take the machine nonlinearities into account with great precision in the simulation of a complete system. Three methods are usually used for linking the grid and FE ...

Influence of the Francis turbine location under vortex rope excitation on the hydraulic system stability

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Philippe Allenbach, Christophe Nicolet, Basile Kawkabani, Sébastien Alligné

Hydroelectric power plants are known for their ability to cover variations of the consumption in electrical power networks. In order to follow this changing demand, hydraulic machines are subject to off-design operation. In that case, the swirling flow lea ...
