摘要:
An electrical generator includes a stator having fractional-slot concentrated windings and a rotor having field windings. A drive is provided having a circuit to control current flow to the field windings and a controller to input an initial DC field current demand to the circuit to cause the circuit to output an initial DC field current representative of a DC field current demand that would cause an electrical generator having sinusoidal stator windings to output a desired AC power. The controller receives feedback on the magnetic field generated by the initial DC field current, isolates an ideal fundamental component of the magnetic field based on the feedback and to generate a modified DC field current demand, and inputs the modified DC field current demand to the circuit, thereby causing the circuit to output an instantaneous non-sinusoidal current to the field windings to generate a sinusoidal rotating air gap magnetic field.

A system and method for exciting an electrical machine with instantaneous non-sinusoidal current waveforms is disclosed. The system includes an inverter that controls current flow and terminal voltages in an electrical machine. The controller is further programmed to receive feedback on an air gap magnetic field in the electrical machine generated by an initial sinusoidal current demand, generate a non-sinusoidal current demand based on received air gap magnetic field feedback, and input the non-sinusoidal current demand to the inverter, thereby causing the inverter to output a non-sinusoidal current.

A system and method for exciting an electrical machine with instantaneous non-sinusoidal current waveforms is disclosed. The system includes an inverter that controls current flow and terminal voltages in an electrical machine and a controller programmed to input an initial sinusoidal current demand to the inverter, thereby causing the inverter to output an initial sinusoidal input current.
