For an implementation of the finite element analysis in the design
optimization of large synchronous machines, the efficiency of modeling
and analysis methods is of crucial importance. The presented analysis
method uses a domain decomposition algorithm, whereby only one finite
element model for all angular rotor positions is necessary. Moreover,
a significant reduction of the calculation time for successive rotor
positions is established. These modeling and analysis methods are
utilized for the determination and comparison with measurements of the
steady-state reactances of a 500 MVA hydro-generator with 14 poles.
