Torque generation for salient-pole synchronous machine for start-up of a prime mover

摘要

A system and method to provide an improved power electronics starting system (100) in which starting torque is delivered by a salient pole synchronous machine (102), while associated power electronics (110) and (118) utilization is maximized by adjusting the Park vector of the armature (102A) phase current to remain in-phase with the Park vector of the armature (102A) terminal voltage, regardless of the level of saturation of the pole synchronous machine (102).
