Analytical modelling of harmonics in an exciterless synchronous generator (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fallows, D., Nuzzo, S., & Galea, M. (2021). Analytical modelling of harmonics in an exciterless synchronous generator. In 2021 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD) (28-33). https://doi.org/10.1109/WEMDCD51469.2021.9425658

The replacement of the brushless exciter in the synchronous generator has long been desired as a method to increase power density. There are many topologies available that allow the excitation system of a synchronous generator to be combined with the...

Power quality improvement by pre-computed modulated field current for synchronous generators (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fallows, D., Nuzzo, S., Costabeber, A., & Galea, M. (2017). Power quality improvement by pre-computed modulated field current for synchronous generators. In 2017 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD) (127-131). https://doi.org/10.1109/WEMDCD.2017.7947735

Although power quality aspects of electrical machines have been extensively studied and investigated for a large number of years, room for improvement still exists in the field of classic, wound-field, synchronous generators. This paper proposes an i... Read More about Power quality improvement by pre-computed modulated field current for synchronous generators.
