In this paper, methods for transitioning between different types of wound-rotor synchronous machines models are examined.  The specific transitions investigated are (1) finite element to circuit-based machine models and (2) circuit-based to average value models of machine/rectifier systems.  Good agreement between simulation results obtained using the different model types is achieved.  This work sets the stage for a software environment that enables both component and system level analysis of electrical power systems.
