On Synchronization of Rotating Machines with Alternating Flow Hydraulics : Part 1, Synchronizing Rotating Motion Under Limited Power Source

Abstract

This paper is concerned with synchronization of rotating machines connected by alternating flow hydraulics. Taking account of the interaction between driving and driven machines, synchronization phenomena are analyzed by the averaging method and the synchronizing phase angles are derived. The stability of the steady-state solution is investigated by means of Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Moreover, the influence of initial conditions on the steady-state rotating motion is considered on the phase plane and critical domain is discussed.
