If you refer to the dq-axis damper windings (electrical parts), you should use one of the following blocks if you do not want to model a Synchronous Machine with damper windings.

In this case please use the simplified models and set the damping factor to zero:

For the Specialized Technology library we have the "Simplified Synchronous Machine" block:

Please run the below command in the command window of installed MATLAB R2019a version to get release specific documentation

>> web(fullfile(docroot, 'physmod/sps/powersys/ref/simplifiedsynchronousmachine.html'))

For the Simscape language blocks we have "Synchronous Machine Model 1.0" block:

Please run the below command in the command window of installed MATLAB R2019a version to get release specific documentation
