Calculation of Performance for Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine as Generator Based on Finite-Element Model
For Brushless Doubly-fed Machine(BDFM), the main feature of field is that there are two kinds of magnetic fields differing in pole number in the machine’s iron circuit and the two fields have the same order of magnitude. Hence, it is difficult to calculate the machine’s performance accurately using conventional analytic method. In this paper, the author constructed one finite-element model of BDFM, and analyzed the machine’s performance using transient solver. The author also compared the finite-element method with experiment and conventional analytic method. Because taking into account the saturation, the results of finite-element method are closer to the measurements than that of conventional analytic method. The validity of model is verified.
