Modeling and analysis of a novel dual open-end stator windings wound rotor synchronous machine with dampers

This work presents a novel wound rotor synchronous machine with dampers with dual three-phase open-end stator windings. The aim of the proposed machine is to improve the power segmentation and the availability of the drive system. The mathematical model of this machine is presented in the Park reference frame. This machine is supplied by four 2-level inverters, where each inverter is dimensioned for quarter power of the machine. For comparison purposes, we use a double star synchronous machine fed by two 2-level inverters. Comparative simulation analysis using THD voltage, THD stator current, and torque undulation showed significant advantages of the proposed machine.
