Abstract
This paper deals with the design solution adopted for a high-speed axial-flux permanent-magnet generator devoted to supplementing power in automotive 42 V electrical systems through a low-voltage multilevel neutral-point-clamped converter. The axial-flux permanent-magnet generator is suitably designed to be directly coupled with a radial turbo-expander which provides recovery of kinetic energy available from the exhaust gases of an internal-combustion engine. The multilevel converter is properly sized for systems having low voltage and high first-order harmonic frequency. The paper describes the proposed 4-kW power rating generating system and discusses various issues resulting from electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical design of the high-speed axial-flux permanent-magnet generator. As well, investigations on modulation strategy, total harmonic distortion, and power losses are presented for the low-voltage neutral-point-clamped power electronic converter.
