| Abstract |
It is proposed to use a generator's stator windingsto create multiple, isolated voltage sources for multiplemultilevel converters (MC). Under this approachthe generator windings are viewed as transformerwindings, with multiple secondary windings.Thus, we propose to redesign the stator windingsas multiple transformers hence turning a single 3-phase output multiple 3-phase outputs. Afterrectifying the outputs, they function as separateisolated DC voltage sources, which are applied toan MC's input. Taking advantage of the readilyexisting generator's magnetics, no additionalmagnetic components are required under theproposed method. |
