DOUBLY FED AXIAL FLUX INDUCTION GENERATOR

摘要

A doubly fed axial flux induction generator (12) may include a prime mover (20) configured to provide mechanical energy. The doubly fed axial flux induction generator (12) may also include a rotor assembly (24, 26) coupled to the prime mover (20), wherein the prime mover (20) is configured to rotate the rotor assembly (24, 26). The doubly fed axial flux induction generator (12) may further include a stator (28). The doubly fed axial flux induction generator (12) may further include a power electronics module (30) coupled to the rotor assembly (24, 26) and the stator (28), wherein the power electronics module (30) is arranged in parallel with the prime mover (20), and is configured to assist with converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy, as well as with dispatching power between the prime mover (20) and an energy storage device (32). The energy storage device (32) may be coupled to the power electronics module (30), and may be configured to meet variations in power demand.
