CHAPTER 9<br />

HIGH PERFORMANCE CONTROL OF A DUAL WINDING<br />

INDUCTION GENERATOR WITH SERIES CONNECTED<br />

BOOST RECTIFIERS<br />

9.1 Introduction<br />

The inherent adv<strong>an</strong>tages <strong>of</strong> <strong>dual</strong>-<strong>winding</strong> <strong>machines</strong> <strong>of</strong> various types have made them<br />

attractive in various motor <strong>an</strong>d generating applications. In applications requiring dc<br />

voltages, the voltages <strong>of</strong> the two <strong>stator</strong> <strong>winding</strong>s are processed with ac-dc PWM boost<br />

rectifiers <strong>an</strong>d connected in parallel or series to the dc load. In the series connection, up to<br />

three dc outputs c<strong>an</strong> be obtained while only two <strong>of</strong> them c<strong>an</strong> be controlled independently.<br />

With appropriate <strong>winding</strong> design, this machine c<strong>an</strong> be used as a starter-alternator for<br />

electric vehicles for future 42V applications, to produce 42V, 14V with/without 56V for<br />

various on-board applications.<br />

The <strong>dual</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>induction</strong> machine with parallel-connected output boost ac-dc<br />

rectifiers producing regulated dc voltage levels has been described in the previous<br />

chapter. The <strong>dual</strong> <strong>winding</strong> <strong>induction</strong> generator with two series connected rectifiers is the<br />

focus <strong>of</strong> this chapter. Very few published papers have focused on the use <strong>of</strong> series<br />

connected ac-dc boost rectifiers when compared to the relatively large body <strong>of</strong> work on<br />

paralleled ac-dc boost converters [9.1-9.5]. In [9.1], both parallel <strong>an</strong>d series connected<br />

AC-DC rectifier systems using hysteresis current controls have been studied <strong>an</strong>d stability<br />
