Title
Numerical Analysis of Turn-to-turn Short Circuit Current Mitigation for Concentrated Winding Permanent Magnet Machines with Series and Parallel Connected Windings
Abstract
Due to its high power density, the fractional slot concentrated winding permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is a competitive candidate for the aircraft starter generator (SG) system. However, the short circuit (SC) fault, especially the turn-to-turn SC fault, is the obstruct crux in aviation applications. The turn-to-turn SC current can be restricted to a permissible level with higher reactance and the current injection mitigation method. However, higher self-inductance always leads to lower power density. So far, there have been no numerical criteria for the tradeoff between the two characteristics in machine design. In this article, an analytical model based on flux distribution is used to estimate the SC current. The effectiveness of the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</italic> -axis current injection mitigation method is numerically analyzed in the series and parallel connected windings individually. The requirement for PMSMs to survive the turn-to-turn SC fault is derived. The mathematical analysis is verified by finite-element analysis and experiments on a 12-slot, 10-pole PMSM. This article provides theoretical support for designing high-performance permanent magnet starter generator (PMSG) with SC current mitigation ability for the aviation power system.
