TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Pötter, Jan A1 - Pfost, Martin A1 - Schullerus, Gernot T1 - A novel brushless excitation system for synchronous machines with a rotating power converter T2 - 2019 IEEE 13th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG) N2 - A novel brushless excitation concept for synchronous machines with a rotating power converter is proposed in this paper. The concept does not need an auxiliary winding or any other modification to the machine structure apart from an inverter with a DC link capacitor and a controller on the rotor. The power required for the rotor excitation is provided by injecting harmonics into the stator winding. Thus, a voltage in the field coil is induced. The rotor inverter is controlled such that the alternating current charges the DC link capacitor. At the same time the inverter supplies the DC field current to the field coil. The excitation concept is first developed in theory, then presented using an analytical model and FEA, and lastly investigated with a prelimininary experimental setup.
