Brushless doubly-fed generation system for vehicles

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5418373

This patent describes a generation system for generating DC power on board a vehicle having a DC bus and propulsion means for propelling the vehicle. It includes a brushless doubly-fed generator having a rotor with rotor conductors and a stator with stator windings, the stator windings comprising first and second polyphase stator systems, the rotor mechanically coupled to and driven by the propulsion means with a driving force to produce an AC power output from the first polyphase stator system; and rectification means electrically coupled with the first polyphase stator system of the generator for rectifying the AC power output received from the first polyphase stator system into DC power for delivery to the DC bus.
