I can't update my answer above anymore, so sorry for double posting. I now found a paper that answers my question: https://www.nature.com/articles/nphys2535 The equation for the current sums up the currents through an alternator caused by each alternator, including itself. The voltage is the...

Thanks for the reply! This is not homework, I am just doing some self-studies over the holidays. I graduated already :) Thanks for the insights! So even at 180° phase shift, if we assume no damage to any parts, the alternators would sync? Then my mental model is very much off, because I thought...

Hi, I am trying to figure out the torque experienced by an alternator to plug into the swing equation. I am not sure how to exactly model the alternator for that. With my current approach, I only get confused. My idea is to model the alternator as a AC power source with fixed frequency in...
