Abstract
A magnetic shield is widely used in the end region of a synchronous condenser (SC) to decrease the flux densities and losses of the end structural components. In order to investigate the influence of different magnetic shield thicknesses on the distributions of the flux density and loss in the end region, a 300-Mvar SC is selected as the investigation reference in this article. A three-dimensional (3-D) mathematical model used for the calculation of electromagnetic field and loss in the end region of the SC is established. The flux densities and losses of the end structural components are calculated and compared under the different thicknesses of the magnetic shield. From the detailed performance evaluations by the 3-D finite-element analysis, the variation of the flux densities and loss densities in the end region of the SC along with the thickness of the magnetic shield is revealed. The loss distributions of the main end structural components are studied and the end zones where the loss is most significantly affected by the magnetic shield thickness are obtained. The results provide the theoretical basis for the improvement of the loss distribution in the end region of the SC.
