Why salient pole synchronous machine are more stable than the cylindrical rotor

machines?
inertia is rotational energy stored in the machine which is proportional to the mass of the rotor.
conventionally the mass of the silent pole is higher than the round rotor, this is because the rotor
speed of silent pole is lower than the round rotor.
this inertia supplies energies during transient making the transient stability higher for silent pole
generator and lower for round rotor generator
