Analytical modelling of harmonics in an exciterless synchronous generator (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fallows, D., Nuzzo, S., & Galea, M. (2021, April). Analytical modelling of harmonics in an exciterless synchronous generator. Presented at IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD 2021), Modena, Italy

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, April). Power quality improvement by pre-computed modulated field current for synchronous generators. Presented at 2017 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD), Nottingham, UK

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.
