Abstract
Brushless doubly‐fed air‐core pulse alternator (BDAPA) is a new type of pulse alternator. It does not need a brush and slip ring, improving the reliability of the system. Moreover, the field winding and rotor winding have good compensation effect, which can significantly improve the discharge performance of the pulse alternator. As a high‐power pulse power supply, BDAPA must have a set of corresponding excitation power supplies to control its excitation. Pulse alternator and excitation power supply constitute the pulse alternator power supply system. The excitation power supply of pulse alternator usually adopts a pulse capacitor, the field winding of pulse alternator is excited by the pre‐charged capacitor before the pulse alternator discharges the load. After discharging, the excitation capacitor must be charged again before the next work of pulse alternator. This requires an additional set of DC power supply to charge the excitation capacitor. It not only increases the volume of the whole system and reduces the energy storage density of the system, but also makes the control of the system more complex. Taking the BDAPA as the research object, this paper proposes a control method with energy feedback, which is combining self‐excitation and separate excitation. Using the inertial energy storage of the pulse alternator and the inductive energy storage of the field winding and rotor winding, the excitation capacitor can be recharged through proper control methods, which can save the DC excitation power supply and improve the energy storage density of the system. © 2023 Institute of Electrical Engineer of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.
