INTRODUCTION
The determination o f t h e model parameters from t h e
c h a r a c t e r i s t i c values i s t r e a t e d i n [l]. The present
work w i l l describe, on t h e b a s i s o f examples, t h e prac-
t i c a l a p p l i c a t i o n o f t h i s method t o a l a r g e turbogener-

c a l presentation, b u t on t h e p h y s i c a l i n t e r p r e t a t i o n o f
results.
E l e c t r i c a l machines, whether synchronous o r asyn-
chronous, can be t r e a t e d u n i f o r m l y w i t h i n t h e framework
o f t h e w i d e l y used two-axis theory. The behaviour o f
t h e machine i s described completely by t h e reactance
operators x (p) xq(p). With synchronous machines, t h e
function Gg), 'i.e. t h e f i e l d c i r c u i t , must a l s o be
known i n order t o i n c l u d e t h e e f f e c t o f t h e e x c i t a t i o n .
(For frequency responses p js, s f/fn; i n a l l equa-
t i o n s T is i n radians, although values o f T a r e g i v e n
i n seconds, i.e. T[rad] 2nfnT[sl).
I n t h e u s u a l theory, a synchronous machine has
o n l y one f i e l d winding and one damper winding i n t h e
r o t o r , i.e. x d ( j s ) i s o f t h e second order and x q ( j s ) i s
o f t h e f i r s t order. The eddy c u r r e n t s i n t h e s o l i d
r o t o r and t h e c u r r e n t displacement e f f e c t i n t h e damper
bars, however have - s i g n i f i c a n t e f f e c t on f u n c t i o n s
x d ( j s ) , x q ( j s j , and G ( j s ) , depending on t h e design o f
t h e a c t u a l machine, and hence r a i s e t h e order t h e o r e t i -
c a l l y t o i n f i n i t y . This i s because, even w i t h m u l t i p l e
circuits, the i r r a t i o n a l function 6 f o r the current
displacement can be o n l y approximately modelled.
Consequently, a c e r t a i n amount o f approximation i n
t h e m o d e l l i n g i s unavoidable. Hence i n t h e d-axis t h e

Thus ZfE( j s ) i s a frequency-dependent impedance,
