Abstract

Abstract: A unified spiral vector model is presented that can be used to assist the finite element method-based performance analysis of brushless doubly-fed induction machines with various short-circuited rotor windings. Specifically, magnet-free brushless doubly-fed induction machines working in doubly-fed or singly-fed synchronous mode are investigated. A dynamic model in spiral vector notation is developed, based on which the torque-angle and power-angle characteristics are derived. It is shown that the investigated brushless machines are equivalent to a traditional non-salient-pole synchronous machine with brushes. By introducing a conversion factor, they can also be analyzed with methods similar to the conventional phasor theory. A comparison is made between the brushless doubly-fed induction machine and non-salient-pole wound-field synchronous machine with brushes, revealing that the performance of the brushless machine degrades faster when the laminated core is saturated. A scaled-down prototype is tested to validate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
