© 2016 IEEE. The benefits of implementing a damper winding in salient-pole synchronous generators are widely known and well consolidated. It is also well known that such a winding incurs extra losses in the machine due to a number of reasons. In orde...

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate Halbach array effects in surface mounted permanent magnet machine (SMPM) in terms of both self-sensing and torque capabilities. A comparison between a conventional SMPM, which has radially magnet...

An investigation into the solution dependence of a conjugate heat transfer computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a synchronous generator, with respect to meshing, has been carried out. Utilising CFD as a tool for investigating the airflow and t... Read More about Stator and rotor vent modelling in a MVA rated synchronous machine.

Synchronous reluctance machine analytical model optimization and validation through finite element analysis (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Degano, M., Mahmoud, H., Bianchi, N., & Gerada, C. (2016, September). Synchronous reluctance machine analytical model optimization and validation through finite element analysis. Presented at 2016 XXII International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM 2016), Lausanne, Switzerland

Synchronous reluctance motors with rotor flux barriers are a promising type of electric machines thanks to various benefits, among the others, the absence of permanent magnets and rotor excitation. However, these kind of machines has high torque ripp... Read More about Synchronous reluctance machine analytical model optimization and validation through finite element analysis.

Damper cage loss reduction and no-load voltage THD improvements in salient-pole synchronous generators (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nuzzo, S., Galea, M., Gerada, C., Gerada, D., Mebarki, A., & Brown, N. Damper cage loss reduction and no-load voltage THD improvements in salient-pole synchronous generators. Presented at 8th IET International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2016)

Salient-pole synchronous generators (SG) have a long history of utilization as reliable power generation systems. Important aspects of such generators include a high power-to-weight ratio, high efficiency and a low cost per kVA output [1]. Another cr...
