INTRODUCTION Some of the European Union countries have launched a project MOET (More Open Electrical Technologies) [15]. The MOET is charged with establishing a new industrial standard for the design of electrical system for commercial aircraft (business and regional and rotorcraft as well). The MOET is comprised of 46 companies (13 being SMEs) and 15 Research Centers or Universities from 14 European countries (one of these is Politechnika Gdańska/Gdansk University of Technology). The project is coordinated by AIRBUS France. This integrated project is partially funded by the EU, through FP6 and the Framework of the Aeronautics Industry R&D Objectives. In future aircrafts, all of the pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical devices have to be transformed into electromechanical devices. As a consequence, the electric power demands will be increased at the aircraft power grid. Thus large power generators are needed to supply the increased power demands. As a result, the bus voltage is increased from 115/200V to 230/400V. The aircraft power grid is different than a classical global grid. It is autonomous, and thus its reliability is an important point. Moreover, the control of this power grid is also an important point because it has to respect hard specifications to supply electrical devices. Nowadays large aircrafts (e.g. A330 with 300 passengers) have a total electric power demand about 250 kW [9]. If all the functions (air conditioning, deicing, e.t.c.) of the future aircraft have to be supplied by electrical energy, then the total demands of electric power is about 1MW. Thus a new generators have to be designed in order to supply such a large power demands. Moreover, the variable frequency power system has been applied and tested [2]. For the power system of the A380 a 3-phase variable-frequency generator has been designed [3]. It can also work as the engine starter in order to put together two functions, .i.e., it is called starter/generator (S/G). In generator mode the generator is driven by aircraft engine through a gearbox and provides 200 kW at 230/400 V with variable frequency from 360 to 800 Hz. The S/G has been designed as a combined power generation device, i.e., as a three-stage machine topology. It is composed of three electrical machines: subexciter, brushless exciter and synchronous S/G itself, as shown in the Fig. 1. As a subexciter a permanent magnet generator (PMG) is used to supply the field winding of the brushless exciter. The control unit, called generator control unit (GCU), ensures voltage control and usual protections. In case of the variable speed S/G operation, to ensure the voltage control (rms and frequency values) requirements of the power grid, the S/G excitation system has to be properly design. In aeronautic applications the volume and weight of the power generation devices are a key issue. As it is well known, a high speed power generation devices will have the volume and weight smaller than a low speed device. On the other hand, as consequence of the high Conception and design of a hybrid… 9 speed operation, the centrifugal forces on the rotor and the limitation of the rotor and shaft diameters are increased [4]. Moreover, you have to consider an increased hysteresis losses, skin effects and eddy currents.

Autonomiczny system generacji energii (np. sieć elektroenergetyczna samolotu), pracujący ze zmienną prędkością obrotową – system bazujący na topologii trójstopniowej maszyny elektrycznej: generator z magnesami trwałymi (PMG) – maszyna pracująca jako podwzbudnica, maszyna synchroniczna z nieruchomym uzwojeniem wzbudzenia i wirującym prostownikiem diodowym – maszyna pracująca jako wzbudnica, maszyna synchroniczna z wirującym uzwojeniem wzbudzenia – maszyna pracująca jako główny rozrusznik/generator, układ regulacji generatora (GCU) [3, 9] It is also possible to decrease the volume and weight of an electric power generation device by optimizing its topology, for example using a hybrid excitation system [1, 5, 7, 12]. In this system, the excitation flux is produced by two sources: permanent magnets (PM) and DC field winding to adjust the excitation flux; in order to reinforce or to weaken the magnetic excitation flux. High power/torque density and high efficiency are two of the most desirable features of an electrical machine for the aircraft power grid application. Improvement of these features has been one of the main aspects of research work on the electric machines in the last several decades. In this paper, in order to provide a solution to this problem, a conception of dual-stator hybrid exciter for variable-speed brushless synchronous starter/generator has been proposed. To get the goal the comparison study of classical and hybrid exciter has been carried out. For the electromagnetic calculation two approaches have been applied: an analytical approach 10 J. Yong, G. Kostro, F. Kutt, M. Michna, M. Ronkowski (based on the circuit model and sizing equations) and a numerical approach (using field simulator FLUX2D). A provisional design calculations were done using the analytical approach. Next, to verify the calculation results and to optimize the magnetic and electric circuits of the machine under study the field simulator FLUX2D was used. 2. SUBEXCITER – PERMANENT MAGNET GENERATOR To make the system (Fig. 1) self-contained and free of sliding contacts, the excitation power for the GCU is obtained from the stationary armature of a small ac permanent magnet generator (PMG) also driven from the main shaft. The voltage and frequency of the subexciter are chosen so as to optimize the performance and design of the overall system. Two ac PMG structures have been compared: a classical structure machine with a single rotor (Fig. 2) and a structure with a dual-rotor (twin rotor) (Fig. 3) [8, 11, 13]. While using a dual-rotor machine for the subexciter you can more effectively optimize the volume, weight and power losses of a power generation device – very important features for the aircraft applications. This machine is constituted of an internal rotor and an external rotor with PM producing the radial excitation field. The slotless stator/armature is placed between the two rotors. Due to the shorter endwinding the total length of the machine and the winding losses are reduced comparing it with the classical structure. The comparison study was done for six structures of PMG, i.e., three structures for the classical single rotor machine and three structures for the dual-rotor rotor machine. The aim of this study was to compare the single rotor machines with the dual-rotor machines for choosing the optimized one for the subexciter of the S/G. The machine parameters that are assumed to be varied are the number of pole pairs p. For the electromagnetic calculation of the PMG we have applied two approaches: an analytical approach (based on the circuit model and sizing equations) [6] – implemented in the MathCAD and Excel software [10], and a numerical approach – using field simulator FLUX2D [14]. In order to easy modify the values of machine parameters the both approaches are parametric. A provisional design calculations were done using the analytical approach. Next, to verify the calculation results and to optimize the magnetic and electric circuit of the machine the field simulator FLUX2D was used. The study has been done for the following number of pole pairs: p = 2, 3 and 4. As it is known, the increased number of poles is very benefit for the geometry of the machine because it results in a smaller and lighter machine. However, the number of pole pairs is limited by technology constraints. Moreover, the large number of pole pairs increases the frequency of the currents – skin effect can appear in conductors), and also the iron losses can be increases. On the other hand, to minimize the amplification of the voltage/current Conception and design of a hybrid… 11 harmonics you have to avoid the same number of pole pairs for the subexciter and for the exciter in the system shown in Fig. 1. The assumed input data of the subexciter/PMG for the calculations are given in Tab. 1.

Referring to the above consideration and the calculation results given in the Tab. 2 we can get some conclusions. The choice of the single rotor machine with three pole pairs (p = 3) seems to be the best solution, keeping in mind that choice of the PMG structure for the system (shown in Fig. 1) essentially depends upon the constraint of space or/and weight. The structure of the four pole pairs has not been considered, because it was chosen for the exciter to avoid the risk of the amplification of the voltage/current harmonics. The single rotor PMG cane be further optimized because the maximal level of flux density in the core of the yoke is about 0.8 T (Fig. 2) – it can be increased to 1.2 T. 3. EXCITER – REVERSED SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR At the heart of the system shown in Fig. 1 are silicon diode rectifiers, which are mounted on the same shaft as the main generator field and which furnish dc excitation directly to the field of the main generator. An ac exciter with a rotating armature feeds power along the shaft to the revolving rectifiers. The stationary field of the ac exciter is fed through a GCU which controls and regulates the output voltage of the main generator. The voltage and frequency of the ac exciter are chosen so as to optimize the performance and design of the overall system. 12 J. Yong, G. Kostro, F. Kutt, M. Michna, M.

The structure of the ac exciter is analogous to a reversed synchronous generator (RSG) or classical dc machine, i.e., the armature is on the rotor and the filed excitation is on the stator. Since you need ac excitation field when the main generator works as a starter for the aircraft engines, thus the stator yoke of the RSG has to be made of iron sheets in order to avoid eddy currents. The RSG parameters that are assumed to be varied are the number of pole pairs. The comparison study was done for two structures (p = 2 and p = 4) – the structure for p = 4 is shown in Fig. 4. The aim of this study was to chose the optimized one for the exciter. The structure of the three pole pairs (p = 3) has not been considered because it was chosen for the main generator [3]. To avoid the risk of mechanical resonance, in the system shown in Fig. 1, the number of pole pairs has to be different. A provisional design calculations of the exciter/RSG were done using the analytical approach. The assumed parameters and input data for the provisional calculations are given in Tab. 3. In the next step, to verify the provisional calculation results and to optimize the magnetic and electric circuit of the machine, the field simulator FLUX2D was used. Chosen results of the analytical calculations are given in Tab. 4 and that for the field simulations are given in Fig. 4. Referring the above consideration and the calculation results given in the Tab. 4 we can get some conclusions. The choice of the RSG with four pole pairs (p =4) seems to be the best solution, keeping in mind that choice of the exciter structure for the system (shown in Fig. 1) essentially depends upon the constraint of space or/and weight. Thus it was chosen as machine for the hybrid excitation structure for the brushless S/G shown in Fig. 1.

HYBRID EXCITER – HYBRID SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR 4.1. Preliminary considerations It is also possible to decrease the volume and weight of an electric power generation device by optimizing its topology, using a hybrid synchronous generator (HSG) [1, 5, 7, 12] as a hybrid exciter (HE). In the HSG the excitation field is produced by two sources: permanent magnets (PM) and dc field winding to adjust the excitation flux. The aim of the HE is to provide the excitation power to the main generator in the system shown in Fig. 1. Generally, the two sources of excitation field are connected in parallel or in series. An example of a synchronous generator with a hybrid excitation with a field sources connected in parallel is shown in Fig. 5 [5]. Since the system with the field sources connected in parallel has more advantages [1, 5, 7, 12] than the system with the field sources connected in series, it will be considered as a brushless exciter for the main generator in the system shown in Fig. 1. To design the HE we will consider a combination of the reversed PMG and the reversed SG as only one machine. The HE structure is similar to the dual-rotor PMG, but with the reversed function of the stator and rotor, i.e., the HE has a dual-stator and single rotor. On the external stator the field excitation winding is placed (analogues to stator of the RSG in Fig. 4), and on the internal stator the PM are placed. The armature winding is placed on the rotor – similarly as in the RSG shown in Fig. 4. The voltage in the armature winding is induced both by PM and field excitation winding. As a base for HE design the reversed SG with four poles (p = 4, Fig. 4) will be taken, since there is a lot of space to put the PM on its rotor. The proposed electromagnetic structure of the considered HE is shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 5.

Michna, M. Ronkowski Fig. 6. Structure of the hybrid synchronous generator with dual-stator (p = 4) – excitation field produced by stationary PM and field winding: 1 – rotor core, 2 – armature winding, 3 – field winding, 4 – external stator core, 5 – permanent magnets, 6 – internal stator core Rys. 6. Struktura generatora synchronicznego hybrydowego z podwójnym stojanem (p = 4) – pole wzbudzenia wytwarzane nieruchomymi magnesami trwałymi i uzwojeniem wzbudzenia: 1 – rdzeń wirnika, 2 – uzwojenie twornika, 3 – uzwojenie wzbudzenia, 4 – rdzeń stojana zewnętrzny, 5 – magnesy trwałe, 6 – rdzeń stojana wewnętrzny For the HSG you can consider two solutions: a) field winding is the main source of excitation flux, b) permanent magnets are the main source of excitation flux. The second solution is more effective for the aircraft power grid, since using larger volume of PM, than for the first solution, you can significantly decrease the total volume of the field source to produce the required flied excitation flux. It results in smaller dimensions of the overall power system shown in Fig. 1. Since for the second solution the field winding is generally used to control the field flux linked with the armature winding, the key issue is to chose a proportion between the field flux produced by PM and field winding. To find this proportion you have to take into account that brushless S/G is working with variable speed in the aircraft power grid (Fig. 1). Usually it is assumed that: the field winding is at a maximum level excitation for the minimum S/G speed, at the lowest level of excitation fort the maximum S/G speed, and for the basic S/G speed the excitation field is only produced by PM. In fact for the field winding the lowest excitation level has the same value as for the highest excitation level – but in the negative way. Thus the voltage induced (EMF) in the armature winding by the excitation field at the three S/G speeds are assumed to satisfy the following equations: (Ψ pm +Ψ fw ) N min = Ψ pm N b , (1) Conception and design of a hybrid… 17 (Ψ pm −Ψ fw ) N max = Ψ pm N b , (2) where, Ψ pm ,Ψ fw – linkage flux excited by PM and field winding, respectively, Nmin, Nmax, Nb – minimum, maximum and basic speed of the S/G generator, respectively. Appling the above rule the value of the basic speed is determined by expression: Nb = 2 N max N min , N max + N min (3) 4.2. Electromagnetic calculations of the hybrid exciter Referring to above consideration a provisional design calculations of the HE were done using the analytical approach. The assumed parameters and input data for the provisional calculations are given in Tab. 5. In the next step, to verify the provisional calculation results and to optimize the magnetic and electric circuit of the machine, the field simulator FLUX2D was used.

Particularly it is characterized by compactness, i.e., its mass/volume is relatively small, and high efficiency due to short end connections of the winding. 5. CONCLUSIONS The proposed hybrid exciter – for the brushless synchronous generator working with variable speed in an autonomous energy generation system (e.g. airplane power grid) – is a modified version of the dual-rotor permanent magnet generator. Similarly to the dual-rotor generator it is characterized by high efficiency (due to short end connections of the winding and hybrid excitation) and compactness (its mass/volume is relatively small). Due to the application of two approaches – analytical approach (based on the circuit model and sizing equations) and numerical approach (using field simulator FLUX2D) – to designing and magnetic field analysis the calculations of the hybrid exciter are very reliable. We can avoid the costs of building expensive prototypes of the machine under study. BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
