Abstract
Brushless doubly‐fed generator (BDFG) is a most promising candidate for the wind turbine due to its simple structure, high reliability, and low converter capacity. To improve space utilization and achieve higher power density, this paper proposes a new dual‐stator BDFG (DS‐BDFG), which provides two separated windings, namely, the power winding (PW) placed in the outer stator and the control winding (CW) placed in the inner stator. A cup‐shaped rotor sandwiched between the inner and outer stators consists of the short‐circuited coil and the salient‐pole core. The coupling between the PW and the CW is realized via the rotor based on the general airgap magnetic field modulation theory for electrical machines. A prototype of the DS‐BDFG with rated PW power of 7.2 kW is designed and optimized. The keys of this paper are the power equation derivation, the determination of pole/slot combinations, and the rotor optimization. The electromagnetic characteristics and unbalanced magnetic force of the DS‐BDFG are analyzed by 2D finite element analysis to verify the reasonableness of the proposed model. © 2021 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
