Investigation of Open-Winding PMSG System With the Integration of Fully Controlled and Uncontrolled Converter

An open-winding permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) system with the integration of fully controlled and uncontrolled converter is investigated in this paper, in which half the amount of controllable power switches are needed compared with the conventional open winding system fed by two voltage source converters. The voltage space vector of open winding PMSG is modulated by controlled converter, which will be integrated with the voltage vector by uncontrolled converter to implement the operation of open winding PMSG. In order to analyze and compare the operation capability on the different dc voltage ratios, the available modulation range of the open winding PMSG is analyzed in detail. Moreover, unity power factor control is proposed as the optimized control method to achieve the maximum modulation index. Finally, a 1-kW experimental setup is built to validate the theoretical investigation on the open winding PMSG system.
