Abstract

Different from the regular ac machines, the armature winding current waveforms of dc-biased vernier reluctance machines (DC-biased-VRMs) are sinusoidal with dc bias. The power factor (PF) calculation process also shows great difference. This paper intends to analyze the PF theoretically based on the mathematical model. Then, investigate the approach to optimize the PF and the price to pay if measures are taken to further improve the PF. The PF of the DC-biased-VRM is expressed under synchronous rotating frame. A maximum PF control strategy is proposed by adjusting the distribution of three-dimensional dq 0-axis currents. The scale of active power to reactive power is changed, and the PF can be regulated. Experimental results are provided to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis.
