Anisotropic layer model theory applied to synchronous machine analysis

This study demonstrates the application of layer model theory to the analysis of synchronous machines. The derivation of the model from Maxwell's equations is briefly described. With the use of steady-state equations and terminal operation information, a methodology is established, and the synchronous machine operation is modelled. Two case examples are then analysed. It is shown that the layer model methodology can be applied to synchronous machines with promising results.
