synchronized electrical power system with variable speed and constant frequency and method of its use

摘要

A variable speed constant frequency synchronous electrical generating system includes a generator rotor (33) with a polyphase field winding (35) whereby the position of the electromagnetic field relative to the rotor structure (33) can be controllably varied. The system includes means (48) to substantially instantaneously determine the angular or rotational position of the generator rotor (33) relative to a reference member (44) rotating at a reference speed. The system further includes means (46) whereby the angular position of the generator electromagnetic field relative to the structure of the generator rotor (33) is maintained essentially the same as the angular position of the reference member (44), and is substantially independent of the rotational speed of the generator power input shaft (31).
