Damper cage loss reduction and no-load voltage THD improvements in salient-pole synchronous generators (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Nuzzo, S., Galea, M., Gerada, C., Gerada, D., Mebarki, A., & Brown, N. (2016). Damper cage loss reduction and no-load voltage THD improvements in salient-pole synchronous generators.

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...
