Non-uniform air gap modeling and electromagnetic characteristics of a new six-phase doubly salient electro-magnetic generator

Abstract

The voltage harmonics of the six-phase doubly salient electro-magnetic generator (DSEG) are large, and the electromagnetic isolation is poor due to the mutual inductance of the armature winding. An optimization scheme for the stator non-uniform air gap structure is proposed. By establishing a non-uniform air gap angle function model, the analytical expression of the induced electromotive force in the non-uniform air gap structure is derived. Using finite element and mathematical model to verify that the stator tip is changed from circular arc to linear structure can increase power and reduce voltage high harmonics, improve the power quality of the generator. Based on the equivalent magnetic circuit, the influence of the winding method of the excitation winding on the mutual inductance of the armature winding is studied. When the field winding is wound interval every two stator poles, the mutual inductance is small. The electromagnetic properties of the new six-phase electric excitation double salient pole are analyzed by two-dimensional finite element analysis. The rationality of the proposed motor structure is verified by experiments.
