POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS FOR DIRECT CURRENT APPLICATIONS

摘要

Power Transmission Systems and Components. In one embodiment a power conversion and distribution system a motor is positioned to convert a high voltage power signal to mechanical energy with a homopolar generator coupled to convert the mechanical energy into DC power. A transmission line is positioned to deliver the DC power to a power consuming device. In another embodiment a homopolar generator system incorporates feedback voltage control. The system includes a homopolar generator which provides a DC output signal. Difference circuitry provides a signal based on a difference between a desired DC output from the generator and an actual DC output the generator 64. Field winding control circuitry is responsive to the control signal to adjust flux density of one or more field windings in the generator to stabilize the DC output voltage of the generator.
