  • Finite element based rotor design optimization for the brushless doubly-fed machine

    Creator:
    Salim, Mohamed Ali, 1968-
    Abstract:
    Brushless Doubly-Fed Machines have potential benefits in variable speed generation and adjustable speed drive applications by combining a robust machine structure with a reduced power converter rating. While recent work has demonstrated feasibility, steady-state performance has not been optimized. The nature of doubly-fed operation causes rotor currents of varying, relatively...

  • Design studies relating to the brushless doubly-fed automotive alternator

    Creator:
    Ravi, D. K.
    Abstract:
    The alternators in today's automobiles are of the claw-pole or Lundell construction, which is a readily manufactured, low-cost derivative of the conventional rotating dc field synchronous generator. The efficiency of the Lundell system is low due to a complicated magnetic circuit of predominantly solid steel and a high windage rotor...
