Abstract:To realize the brush-less operation for wound field vernier machines (WFVMs), a novel selfexcited topology is proposed in this paper which involves a four-pole main armature winding and a twopole excitation winding connected in series using an uncontrolled rectifier. Upon supplying current from a single current-controlled voltage source inverter (VSI), this procedure results in four-pole and two-pole magnetomotive force (MMF) components in the airgap. The four-pole MMF produces the main stator field while the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
