BRUSHLESS EXCITATION SYSTEM ELECTROMAGNETIC DESIGN AND ANALYSES

Abstract

The brushless synchronous generator (SG) excitation system consists of a main exciter, a permanent magnet generator (PMG) of consequent rotor poles type, and an automatic voltage regulator (AVR). Both exciter machines have been properly designed and analysed. The machines performances are obtained by time stepping finite-element method (FEM) coupled with the external electrical circuit. An experimental machine is built and the measured results are given.
