A new harmonic field excitation technique for the brushless operation of wound field synchronous machines (WFSMs) is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme involves conventional three-phase and single-phase inverters operating at different frequencies and supply input current to the armature winding simultaneously. This results in a composite output current of the inverters, which contains fundamental as well as the third harmonic current components. The fundamental is utilized to develop the stator field, on the other hand, the third harmonic is used for developing the pulsating magnetomotive force (MMF) in the airgap. This MMF produces a harmonic current in the harmonic winding of the rotor which is later rectified to inject field current to the rotor field winding. The theoretical analysis of the proposed technique is supported using 2-D finite element analysis (FEA).

This paper presents a new high-efficient three-phase brushless wound rotor synchronous machine (BL-WRSM) based on a sub-harmonic field excitation technique. In the proposed machine topology, the stator is equipped with two different three-phase windings: (1) main armature winding, and (2) additional armature winding. The main armature winding is based on a 4-pole winding configuration, whereas the additional armature winding is based on a 2-pole winding configuration. Both windings are supplied current from two different inverters, i.e., inverter-1, inverter-2, and simultaneously. Inverter-1 provides the regular input current to the main armature winding, whereas inverter-2 provides a three-phase current of low magnitude to the 2-pole additional armature winding. This generates an additional sub-harmonic component of MMF in the airgap beside the fundamental MMF. On the other side, the rotor is equipped with (1) harmonic, and (2) field windings. These windings are electrically coupled via a rectifier. The fundamental component of MMF produces the main rotating magnetic field, whereas the sub-harmonic MMF gets induced in the harmonic winding to produce harmonic current. This current is rectified to give DC to the rotor field winding to attain brushless operation. To authenticate the operation and analyze its performance, the proposed BL-WRSM topology is supported using 2-D finite element analysis (FEA) in JMAG-Designer. Later on, the performance of the proposed brushless topology is compared with the customary BL-WRSM topology to verify its high efficiency, high output torque, low torque ripple, and low unbalanced radial force on the rotor.
