Synopsis

This book examines the phenomenon of hunting in synchronous machines, where the rotating element oscillates around a steady state of motion. The author explores the physical causes of hunting, drawing an analogy between the oscillations of the armature and the vibrations of a damped spring. By deriving equations for both free and forced oscillations, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing hunting behavior. The author discusses the role of damping effects, moment of inertia, air gap length, and excitation in determining the frequency and amplitude of oscillations. The book emphasizes the importance of controlling hunting to ensure stable operation of synchronous machines in electrical power systems. It concludes that a thorough understanding of the principles of hunting is essential for designing and operating these machines effectively.
