Assessment of power generation capability of doubly-salient PM generator

Abstract
In this paper, the characterization of the power production capability of the doubly salient permanent magnet (DSPM) generator under loaded conditions will be fully explored by using relevant power electronic circuit implementations. The AC output of the DSPM generator can easily be rectified to power a DC load. In certain applications, the requirement is for constant DC rectifier current, while in some applications DC voltage should be constant. The required rectification can be done by using a variety of power electronics circuits. A diode bridge rectifier with constant current and constant voltage output, and a PWM boost controller with a hysteresis current controller are the implementations of interest. In the case of an actively switched converter, semiconductor devices are used to shape the current, and hence provide a controlled power transfer.
