How to simulate a rotor inter-turn fault in synchronous generator,using matlab programme.

Answers (1)

Normally we can model electrical machines by representing each winding as a single entity with associated inductance, electromotive force, and mutual inductive coupling to adjacent windings. However, when a winding fault occurs, the single entity assumption breaks down. To correctly capture the resulting dynamics, you have to model the motor at a winding level. This requires modeling in the magnetic domain. Simscape Electrical has an example of a faulted PMSM that may be used as a starting point:

Thank you to the developers for their works. Currently, this model only supports surface-mounted motors. What should I do if I want to simulate motors with embedded permanent magnet?
Is there a model for a synchronous generator.
