Research on Output Waveform of Generator with Rectifier Load considering Commutation Overlap Angle

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of the uncontrolled rectifier circuit on the generator's output waveform when considering the commutation overlap angle. Taking the nonsalient permanent magnet (PM) generator directly connected with the uncontrolled rectifier circuit as an example, the equivalent circuit of the generator with rectifier load is established, and the commutation process of the rectifier circuit is analyzed when the effect of the commutation overlap angle is considered. The output waveforms of generator's output side are obtained by analytical method, circuit simulation method, field-circuit coupled simulation method, and experimental method. The validity of the analysis methods is demonstrated by comparison. According to the results of analytical analysis, we know the characteristics of the output waveform under the influence of the commutation overlap angle. The existence of the commutation overlap angle will cause the voltage waveform to concave or convex, prolong the conduction time of the winding, and result in phase difference between the voltage waveform and current waveform. The influence of synchronous inductance and extra inductance on the output waveforms and harmonic distortion rate is analyzed. The research of this paper provides a theoretical basis for improving the output waveform of the generator with rectifier load.
