Abstract

A DC-link voltage regulation method is proposed based on capacitor energy control (CEC) for the doubly salient electro-magnetic generator (DSEG) system. Instead of tracking the DC-link voltage, the stored energy in the DC-link capacitor is set as the control target in the outer loop. A proportional component that converts the command output current into the command field current is developed between the capacitor energy loop and field current loop. The coefficient in the proportional component is investigated based on the mathematical model of the 12-8 pole DSEG, considering the load and speed variation. The dynamic response of the DSEG system is accelerated and the DC-link voltage variation is reduced with the proposed method. Furthermore, the adaptability to speed variation of the controlled is optimized. Since the DC-link capacitance is an additional parameter, the influences of capacitor degradation are investigated. The conventional voltage control and the CEC are implemented and compared on a DSEG platform. The optimized performance of the proposed method is verified by both finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments. The proposed method provides optimized dynamic performance over the entire speed range, enabling the DSEG system as a competitive option in the aircraft application.
