Abstract

A vernier permanent magnet (VPM) machine using high-temperature superconducting (HTS) winding for dual excitation is proposed for wind power generation. The proposed VPM machine adopts the parallel hybrid excitation configuration, the stator consists of an identical tooth pair connected together by the stator yoke and the rotor contains two sets of consequent-pole permanent magnets joined together by the rotor yoke. The armature winding is located at the stator main slots while the field winding using HTS coils is wound on the stator yoke. With the benefit of the HTS field winding, the air-gap flux can be flexibly adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the dc current. Therefore, the machine performance is improved to cope with different operating conditions.
