-Self-excitation for synchronous generator is described in the paper. The system is based on a buck converter input filter capacitor discharge through excitation winding of the generator. The buck converter is connected to the stator outputs through an uncontrollable diode rectifier, but excitation winding is used as a load. Input filter capacitor of the converter provides initial current pulse which magnetizes excitation system and produces the generator voltage increase, for this reason the capacitor is charged before self-excitation process starts.Results of the computer simulation and physical experiment are obtained and presented. These results show that the proposed self-excitation converter in conjunction with an input capacitor pre-charged from a low-power electronic generator actually magnetizes the generator excitation system therefore generator voltage and accordingly excitation current increases. Stabilization of generator output voltage occurs with a voltage surge, though its peak value slightly exceeds the reference one.The future investigation of the proposed self-excitation system may include definition of mathematical equations which describe transients in the generator's self-excitation mode and development of control methods for purpose of self-excitation process control without voltage peaks. The computer model also should be improved.
The paper presents configuration of the traction drive test bench with energy storage system, calculation of the scale factors, estimation of the energy storage system size and Matlab simulation results of the bench operation in a braking mode at different levels of the supercapacitor initial voltage.
In this paper the factors influencing the selfexcitation process in the synchronous generator and a method of this process improvement are described. In the case of high stator windings inductance commutation process in the rectifier at the generator output interfere with successful self-excitation, which is confirmed by analytical calculations and practical experiment. Use of the excitation current pulse regulator with the input capacitor allows not only to control current according to the generator rotation speed and load, but also to provide initial magnetization of the excitation winding, that in turn compensates influence of the commutation processes. The generator selfexcitation at low speed is provided selecting the initial voltage level of the regulator input capacitor.
