Generator Modelling Question

I'm doing a crash course into understanding generator impedances/reactances that the utility for our project is requesting to do their study.

The generator manufacturer has given us all the reactances/impedances/time constants.

My question:

- If its a salient pole generator, is it automatically assumed that I need to use the GENSAL model in PSS/E (or other power simulation software)?
- Both GENSAL and GENROU models require X"d = X"q. However, in the data the manufacturer has provided, these are two different values. Is this typical? Do I choose one and run with it? If the two numbers are different, is that error on the manufacturer's datasheet?
