Improved damper cage design for salient-pole synchronous generators (2016)
Journal Article
Nuzzo, S., Degano, M., Galea, M., Gerada, C., Gerada, D., & Brown, N. (2017). Improved damper cage design for salient-pole synchronous generators. IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 64(3), 1958-1970. https://doi.org/10.1109/TIE.2016.2619321

© 2016 IEEE. The benefits of implementing a damper winding in salient-pole synchronous generators are widely known and well consolidated. It is also well known that such a winding incurs extra losses in the machine due to a number of reasons. In orde...

Damper cage loss reduction and no-load voltage THD improvements in salient-pole synchronous generators (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nuzzo, S., Galea, M., Gerada, C., Gerada, D., Mebarki, A., & Brown, N. Damper cage loss reduction and no-load voltage THD improvements in salient-pole synchronous generators. Presented at 8th IET International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2016)

Salient-pole synchronous generators (SG) have a long history of utilization as reliable power generation systems. Important aspects of such generators include a high power-to-weight ratio, high efficiency and a low cost per kVA output [1]. Another cr...
