Abstract

Integrated starter/generator based on the wound-rotor synchronous machine is becoming increasingly popular in modern aircraft due to the advantages of high safety and low cost in maintenance. In this paper, three detailed excitation control methods for the two-phase brushless exciter of a wound-rotor synchronous starter/generator in the starting mode were proposed and compared. In order to get constant field current and/or minimum armature currents for the main generator during the start-up process, feedback control for the field currents of the two-phase brushless exciter and speed reference control for the excitation frequency and phase sequence were proposed. Experimental results verified the feasibility and effectiveness of these three excitation control methods.
