    Synchronous Generator Power Factor

    Thank you one and all for your valuable time and suggestions. jpts, Thank your for taking so much time and effort to give me that file. The power rating of the generator is 4MW. LionelHutz, The load is not decided yet. but the rectifier inverter pair is used to bump up the frequency of the...

    Synchronous Generator Power Factor

    My bad. The field current I mentioned is the equivalent field current from the permanent magnet. I am actually planning to assume a pf of around 0.9 - 0.95 lagging if at all I do not get any info about it. Thanks once again

    Synchronous Generator Power Factor

    I will explain the question in little more clear. I have the Active power of the generator and the voltage at its terminals. I could not decide the amount of output current since the load here in my case is a rectifier-inverter pair and also could not find the power factor of the machine. I know...

    Synchronous Generator Power Factor

    Electricpete, The generator used here is for a Wind power applications. The power factor will be used to find out the apparent power of the generator and also to know the behavior of the generator at various wind speeds.

    Synchronous Generator Power Factor

    Thank you jpts. I think I will try the first option you suggested with the phasor diagrams. If I think its tricky and if it gives me issues can I go with some assumed power factor number close to unity. May be something around 0.95 lagging. If yes, is there any research paper that can be used as...

    Synchronous Generator Power Factor

    Thank you for your reply Alehman. The point you made is correct in my opinion. The load to the Generator in my case is the Rectifier and depending on its characteristics the power factor of the Generator will result. Can you suggest me how to proceed to get the power factor value of the...

    Synchronous Generator Power Factor

    Hello everyone, I am a new member to this forum and would like to ask a little help from you guys. I am designing a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) for a Wind turbine application which is of direct drive (DD) type. Being a DD type PMSG the frequency of the output is very low and...
