  • Patent number: 9577544
    Abstract: A device for connecting an electric power generator to an HVDC transmission system is provided, the device having (a) a first unit for converting an AC output voltage from the electric power generator to a DC input voltage for the HVDC transmission system, the first unit having a transformer and a full-bridge rectifier, and (b) a second unit for generating control voltages and/or control currents in the transformer and/or in the electric power generator, the second unit having a PWM full-bridge converter adapted to receive the AC output voltage from the electric power generator or an AC voltage based on said AC output voltage. Furthermore, a system and a method are provided.

  • Patent number: 9373982
    Abstract: A tubular body for an electrical machine is provided. The tubular body comprises a curved surface area, a first tooth and a second tooth. The tubular body is arrangable with respect to a further tubular body such that one of the tubular body or the further tubular body is rotatable with respect to the other one around a rotary axis. The first tooth and the second tooth extend from the curved surface area along a radial direction with respect to the rotary axis. The first tooth comprises a first side wall facing a second side wall of the second tooth, wherein the first side wall comprises a first section which is parallel to the second side wall such that a circumferential distance between the first section and the second side wall is constant along the radial direction.
