Abstract

A new high-speed-response dual-star brushless rotating exciter has been recently proposed, which utilizes two rotating thyristor rectifiers in a hybrid-mode topology. However, dissymmetries tend to occur in large-scale apparatus, which ultimately results in an undesired unbalanced loading of the topology. Moreover, the topology provides a possibility for compensation via asymmetrical firing, which serves as a promising solution to be investigated. This letter proposes an active current sharing adjustment method between the parallel thyristor bridges. The method improves controllability and performance compared with the alternative “skip firing” approach, and it can replace the interphase reactors in large direct current applications.
