SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR WITH COMBINED EXCITATION OF AUTONOMOUS POWER PLANTS

   Introduction. In general, an autonomous power plant consists of a primary drive system (usually an internal combustion engine (ICE)), and the generator is usually simultaneous with electromagnetic excitation. A characteristic feature of the system is based on the ICE operating range of load of 0.5 to 1.2 of the nominal power. Therefore the external characteristics of a synchronous generator should be designed for idle voltage close to the voltage under load ≈50%. In this case the range of changes in the external characteristics taking into account regulatory requirements for an autonomous power complex (support voltage of ± 10%) should be between 200 to 240 under a load of 0.5 to 1.2 rated power. This fact simplifies the task of stabilizing the external characteristics of the generator with permanent magnet excitation with electromagnetic shunting.

   Materials and research results. The use of synchronous generators with permanent magnets (SGPM) expands with the introduction of new areas of their application as well as the development of new magnets which have improved characteristics. SGPM have a relatively high value of efficiency but it is difficult to be adjusted. One option for the stabilization of the external characteristic is the use of magnetic shunts. The article deals with synchronous generator (SG) with a magnetic shunt to the rotor is made on the basis of serial asynchronous motor (AM) AIÐ100L4. As a base selected AM for several reasons: firstly AM - are serial which in turn means that they are optimized; secondly the use of  stators for SG generators means unification. Use this generator to highly autonomous power AC. Longitudinal sketch SG shown in Fig. 1:

   On the three-phase stator generator posted a distributed stator winding. SG rotor consists of two parts: a radially magnetized permanent magnets (4 poles), which create a working magnetic flux; magnetic shunt (support portion SGPM) intended to stabilize the external characteristic SGPM (± 10%, GOST 13109-97 from the sources transducers) and for the purpose of regulating the output voltage over a wide range. In accordance with current regulations the maximum deviation of the actual voltage over the entire range of operating current and the character of the load (cosφ = 1, cosφ = 0,9) deviation of the generator voltage should be in the range 198 - 242 V.

   The advantages SGPM magnetic shunt include high operational reliability due to the absence of sliding contacts and brushes of inductor no loss to the excitation regardless of the source of direct current high efficiency. The main disadvantages of these machines is the absence of a direct method for controlling voltage and a relatively low maximum capacity of the machine (up to 100 kVA). The test SGPM characterized by the following rating: power Pn = 4.0 kW, phase voltage U1 = 220, the number of pole pairs p = 4, speed n = 1500 rpm, the frequency of the output voltage of f = 50Hz, the material of the permanent magnets NdFeBr-H-38.

   The goal of the article is to develop a mathematical model of the field SGPM and optimizing the working area of its rotor. In order to save hardware resources PC considered cross section of the working part of the rotor and the stator section.

   To solve this problem we developed two-dimensional mathematical model of the test field GCNM in cross section. The estimated area of the generator is shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 2: 1 - magnetic armature; 2 - armature winding; 3 - shaft; 4 - permanent magnets; 5 - pole pieces. The polarity of the permanent magnets is marked with relevant symbols.

   When radially magnetized permanent magnet pole space is filled with a solid non-magnetic structure which gives the structure the required mechanical strength and serves as a base for placement of permanent magnets and the pole pieces so the width of the magnets remains constant. In addition the increase in the width of the magnets will lead to an increase in stray fields.
