    Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of exciterless synchronous machines are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a fractional slot synchronous machine comprising a rotor including a first pole pair including a first pole including a first plurality of slots having a first center point and arranged on a first outer surface in a slot pattern; a second pole pair including a second pole including a second plurality of slots having a second center point and arranged on a second outer surface in the slot pattern; energy harvest windings arranged in a winding pattern within a portion of the first plurality of slots and arranged in the same winding pattern within a portion of the second plurality of slots, the energy harvest winding being structured to receive a harmonic power from the stator; and a rectifier structured to receive the harmonic power from the energy harvest winding.

    Abstract: A method of performing de-excitation of a brushless synchronous machine having a stator; and a rotor including: a field winding, an exciter armature, a rectifier having thyristors, the rectifier having input terminals connected to the exciter armature and output terminals connected to the field winding, a field discharge resistor connected in series with the field winding, and a bypass switch connected in parallel with the field discharge resistor, the bypass switch being operable between a closed state in which the field discharge resistor is bypassed, and an open state, wherein the method including: a) controlling the thyristors to fire only during a negative half-cycle of the armature voltage waveforms, and b) controlling the bypass switch to obtain the open state from the closed state to thereby discharge a field winding current through the field discharge resistor.
