XIX International Conference on Electrical Machines - ICEM 2010, Rome Analysis of Synchronous Generator End-Winding Deformations Using 3-D Time-Harmonic FEM Andrej Stermecki, Oszkár Bíró, Hermann Lang, Georg Ofner, Kurt Preis and Siegfried Rainer numerical approach based on the sequential coupling Abstract-- The 3-D time-harmonic finite element method between current-flow, an electromagnetic and a mechanical (FEM) has been used to calculate forces and deformations of model is presented in this paper. In order to take the synchronous generator end-windings under nominal excitation produced by stator windings into consideration, a operational conditions. Analysis of the time-variant magnetic procedure based on the coupled current flow and magnetic field has been performed using a T, Phi - Phi formulation. A novel method to consider the rotating magnetic field of the field analyses using dissimilar finite element (FE) meshes rotor in the frequency domain has been developed. The and numerical calculation of the Biot-Savart field has been influence of the induced eddy currents in steel front-plates of a employed. The numerically computed Biot-Savart field from machine has been taken into consideration in order to take the one FE mesh has been used to obtain an edge element exact boundary conditions into account. Under design operating representation of the rotational part of the magnetic field on conditions, computed harmoni
