    Abstract: An exemplary power system may include an electric machine with multiple sets of stator windings, each set of windings being coupled through a separate switch matrix to a common voltage bus, and each of which may be spatially arranged in full pitch around the stator such that stator flux harmonics are substantially reduced. The reduced stator flux harmonics may be associated with phase current harmonic content. In an example application, such power systems may operate in a generating mode to transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy on a DC voltage bus. In some illustrative embodiments, the power system may provide both high-power and high-speed (e.g., 1MW at 8000 rpm or above) motoring and/or generating capability suitable, for example, for on-board (e.g., marine, aviation, traction) power systems.

  • Publication number: 20100181860
    Abstract: This invention presents a novel method for designing and manufacturing electrical windings for electrical machines. The presented manufacturing technique gives possibilities for an increased filling factor compared to conventional technique and improved heat transfer through application of thermally conductive compounds. Proposed winding schemes avoid intersection between different winding layers in the end-winding region. This helps automating winding production, simplifies insulation between winding layers and, if this is necessary, simplifies insertion of the winding. Both these factors affect the cost and reliability of the winding. This method is applicable for a broad range of electrical machines and allows easy automation of the winding process.
