Abstract
The dc winding induced voltage in hybrid-excited machines can lead to dc winding current ripple and hence, fluctuating field excitation. It may also challenge the dc power source and increase the difficulty of machine control, especially at high speed. The dc winding induced voltage in a hybrid-excited switched-flux permanent magnet (HESFPM) machine is investigated in this article. The phenomenon and mechanism of the dc winding induced voltages under both open-circuit and on-load conditions are analyzed, with particular emphasis on on-load operation which consists of open-circuit induced voltage and armature current induced voltage, respectively. Two techniques, i.e., rotor step skewing and unequal rotor teeth, are proposed and comparatively investigated by the finite-element (FE) method to suppress the dc winding induced voltage under on-load condition. FE results show that the peak-to-peak value of on-load dc winding induced voltage can be effectively suppressed by 96.15% or 89.05% by rotor step skewing or unequal rotor teeth, respectively, while the average on-load electromagnetic torque can be maintained at 89.4% or 87.8%. A prototype HESFPM machine is built and tested to verify the FE results.
