The DC excitation current in the rotor generates a flux.
The turbine drives the rotor and produces a rotating flux
The rotating flux induce AC three phase voltage in the
stator winding.
The generated power of a synchronous machinecan be
adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the rotor field current.

Synchronous Machine Structures
Stator and Rotor
1.The statoris termed as stationary armature where
the generated power can be easily taken out. The
armature winding of a conventional synchronous
machine is almost invariably on the stator and is
usually a three phase winding.
2. The rotoris the rotating member of the machine
The field winding is usually on the rotor and excited
by dc current, or permanent magnets.
The dc power supply required for excitation usually
is supplied through a dc generator
This dc generatorknown as exciter, which is
often mounted on the same shaft as the
synchronous machine.

Rotor structures:
There are two types of rotor structures
1.Salient pole rotor
For low speed applications, such as hydroelectric
generators, Diesel Generator etc.
2. Non-Salient pole (cylindrical) rotor
For high speed synchronous machines, such as steam
turbine generators, Gas turbine, etc

Mechanical and Electrical Angle
1.Mechanical angle
Any angle Measured on the surface of a
synchronous Machine is a Mechanical Angle.
Always the total Mechanical angle over the complete
surface being 360

Example, we consider a four pole machine. As the
rotor rotates for one revolution the induced
emfvaries for two cycles and hence
For a general case, if a machine has P poles, the
relationship between the electrical and mechanical
units of an angle can be readily deduced as
,similarly,
Where is the angular frequency of electrical radians per
second and the angular speed of the rotor in
mechanical radians per second. m rotorofSpeedn

Distributed Three Phase Windings
The stator of a synchronous
machine consists of a laminated
electrical steel core and a three
phase winding.
The stator lamination of a
synchronous machine that has a
number of uniformly distributed
slots.
Coils are to be laid in these slots
and connected in such a way that
the current in each phase winding
would produce a magnetic field in
the air gap around the stator.
