The topic of this bachelor thesis is the issue of synchronous machines with a wound rotor and their design. The first part of the work summarizes the theory of synchronous machines with a wound rotor. A more detailed focus is given to salient pole machines. The second part summarizes specific steps in designing a machine with a wound rotor. The third part is to create a program for calculating a salient pole synchronous machine. The program is based on knowledge gained in the first and second parts using the Python programming language. The fourth part focuses on electromagnetic design, its optimalization, simulations and interpretation of their results. The last part contains technical production documentation and machine model
