An original line-starting method for a synchronous machines, which do not have damping windings, is investigated in this paper. A general overview of line start synchronous machines is first presented. Problems related to the line-starting of synchronous machines is first presented. The new line starting method is investigated using both electrical circuits modeling, and coupled 2D finite element and circuit modeling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
