CHAPTER 8<br />

HIGH PERFORMACE CONTROL OF A DUAL STATOR<br />

WINDING DC POWER INDUCTION GENERATOR WITH<br />

PARALLEL CONNECTED PWM RECTIFIERS<br />

8.1 Introduction<br />

Dual-<strong>winding</strong> <strong>machines</strong> <strong>of</strong> various types are being considered for various motor <strong>an</strong>d<br />

generating applications. Although the use <strong>of</strong> <strong>dual</strong>-<strong>winding</strong> <strong>machines</strong> is not new <strong>an</strong>d has<br />

been investigated for a long time, the emergence <strong>of</strong> new motor topologies, the ch<strong>an</strong>ging<br />

technical <strong>an</strong>d economic context for motor drive applications <strong>an</strong>d the improvement in<br />

<strong>an</strong>alytical <strong>an</strong>d electric drive control methodologies have given new impetus to the<br />

exploration <strong>of</strong> new applications for the machine.<br />

The <strong>dual</strong> <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>induction</strong> machine working as a generator is <strong>an</strong> area that has<br />

not been considered, however because <strong>of</strong> some common characteristics between the <strong>dual</strong><br />

<strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>an</strong>d the normal single <strong>winding</strong> <strong>induction</strong> <strong>machines</strong>, some <strong>of</strong> the <strong>an</strong>alytic<br />

methods used for the normal <strong>induction</strong> machine c<strong>an</strong> be adopted to the <strong>an</strong>alysis <strong>of</strong> this<br />

new machine. Some previous works on <strong>induction</strong> generators have been described in<br />

Chapter 1.<br />

The motivation behind the research effort leading to this chapter is to explore the<br />

adv<strong>an</strong>tages <strong>of</strong> using a single machine to efficiently <strong>an</strong>d cheaply generate ac powers <strong>of</strong><br />

different frequencies; obtain different dc voltage levels as may be required in automotive<br />
