Abstract. This paper presents a proposal for the mathematical modelling and computational analysis of special six-phase synchronous generators as required by variable wind farm application. The strategy uses time domain techniques so as to highlight the transient, dynamic and steady state operational conditions. Having completed the representation and the computational implementation of these special machines, the model is inserted into a simplified wind complex. Objectifying the establishment of comparisons between the sixphase and conventional three-phase generator performance, general aspects such as: electrical quantities wave form, improvement of the harmonic distortion, better performance of the damper windings, among others, are focused in the study. The advantages properties associated with the use of the special machine are fully considered throughout this article.
