Design and Implementation of a PWM-Based Voltage
Control System for High-Speed Multiphase Alternators
Alternators
Components of Alternator
Stator:
i) As a stationary part, the stator serves as the armature that interacts with the
rotor's magnetic field.
ii) The stator provides structural support and alignment for the rotor, ensuring
proper and efficient rotation within the magnetic field.
Rotor
The rotor in an alternator serves as the magnetic field source. When the rotor
spins, it creates a rotating magnetic field within the alternator. This rotating
magnetic field interacts with the stator windings (stationary coils of wire),
inducing an alternating current (AC) in these windings through electromagnetic
induction.
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT ii
There are primarily two types of rotors used in alternators:
i) Salient (or projecting) pole type
ii) Non-salient (or cylindrical) pole type
i) Salient pole type: In this type, salient or projecting poles are mounted
on a large circular steel frame which is fixed to the shaft of the alternator. The
individual field pole windings are connected in series in such a way that when
the field winding is energized by the d.c. exciter, adjacent poles have opposite
polarities.
ii) Non-salient pole type: In this type, the rotor is made of smooth solid
forged-steel radial cylinder having a number of slots along the outer periphery.
The field windings are embedded in these slots and are connected in series to the
slip rings through which they are energized by the d.c exciter.

Alternator Woking Principle and Operations
The principle of an alternator is based on Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic
Induction, which states that a voltage is induced in a conductor when it is
exposed to a changing magnetic field.
The rotor winding is energized from the d.c. exciter and alternate N and S poles
are developed on the rotor. When the rotor is rotated in anti-clockwise direction
by a prime mover, the stator or armature conductors are cut by the magnetic flux
of rotor poles. Consequently, e.m.f. is induced in the armature conductors due to
electromagnetic induction. The induced e.m.f. is alternating since N and S poles
of rotor alternately pass the armature conductors. The direction of induced e.m.f.
can be found by Fleming’s right hand rule and frequency is given by:
NP
f= 120
The magnitude of the voltage induced in each phase depends upon the rotor flux,
the number and position of the conductors in the phase and the speed of the rotor

RECTIFIERS
i) A rectifier is an electrical device that converts AC supply into unidirectional
DC supply. This process of converting alternating current (AC) to direct
current (DC) is also called as rectification.
ii) Semiconductor diodes are used to convert AC to DC because they allow
current to flow in only one direction (unidirectional).
Types of Rectifiers
The output DC voltage of a half wave rectifier can be calculated with the
following two ideal equations

Now for a half wave circuit, 𝐼𝑅𝑀𝑆 = 𝐼𝐷𝐶 =
2 π
This indicates that the ripple content in the output are 1.211 times the dc
component i.e. 121.1% of dc component.
The ripple factor is very high.
Therefore a half wave rectifier is a poor converter of ac to dc.
The ripple factor is minimized using filter circuits along with the rectifier

2.Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
i) Using the same secondary voltage, this bridge rectifier can produce almost
double the output voltage as compared with full wave center-tapped
transformer rectifier.
ii) During the positive half of the input AC diodes D1 and D2 are forward
biased and D3 and D4 are reverse biased. Thus load current flows through D1
and D2 diodes.
iii) During the negative half cycle of the input diodes D3&D4 are forward
biased and D1&D2 are reverse biased. Therefore load current flows through
D3&D4 diodes.

This indicates that the ripple contents in the output are 48% of dc component
which is less than that for the half wave rectifier

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
Open loop
In an open-loop PWM system, the duty cycle of the PWM signal is set based on
predetermined parameters without feedback from the system. The control does
not adjust automatically to changes in the load or external conditions.
