Abstract
Medium-speed wind generators in the MW-range with high-temperature superconducting excitation winding are analyzed by means of non-linear 2D and 3D FEM models. Besides an inverter-based sinusoidal stator current feeding, a grid connection via a diode rectifier is analyzed by using coupled FEM and circuit simulations. The newly proposed modeling techniques are used to determine the excitation requirement for speed-variable, unity power factor operation at constant stator voltage, as required for a diode rectifier feeding of the stator winding. 2D FEM models in the H-A-formulation are developed and used for the calculation of the hysteresis loss in the superconducting field winding at stationary operation as well as for an investigation of field current variations in the HTS field winding. The major modeling challenges consist in very long settling times of voltage-fed models, several strong model non-linearities and high requirements on the spatial discretization. Approaches for overcoming these difficulties with reasonable computational efficiency are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Prediction through modelling forms the basis of engineering design. The computational power at the fingertips of the professional engineer is increasing enormously and techniques for computer simulation are changing rapidly. Engineers need models which relate to their design area and which are adaptable to new design concepts. They also need efficient and friendly ways of presenting, viewing and transmitting the data associated with their models.
The International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields provides a communication vehicle for numerical modelling methods and data preparation methods associated with electrical and electronic circuits and fields. It concentrates on numerical modelling rather than abstract numerical mathematics.
Contributions on numerical modelling will cover the entire subject of electrical and electronic engineering. They will range from electrical distribution networks to integrated circuits on VLSI design, and from static electric and magnetic fields through microwaves to optical design. They will also include the use of electrical networks as a modelling medium.
