Abstract

This paper describes and simulates the transient process of self-excitation of a single-phase brushless capacitor-exciter synchronous generator (BCESG) by Finite Element Method (FEM). To simul the BCESG the coupling between the magnetic circuit and the electrical circuit the Method of Co-Simulation by Indirect Coupling is applied. The Total Harmonic Distortion of the terminal voltage is calculated and the main harmonics identified by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT).
