Abstract

Brushless doubly-fed generator (BDFG) shows great potential in the field of wind power due to its high reliability and cost advantages. The rotor is the basis of BDFG electromechanical energy conversion, and plays the role of “pole-number converter”. In order to improve the magnetic field modulation ability of the BDFG rotor, combining the advantages of different types of rotor structures of BDFG, this paper proposes a series cage bar assisted magnetic barrier rotor structure, the series cage bar and the radial magnetic barrier have an effect on the air gap magnetic field, which enhances the magnetic field modulation ability commonly. The structural characteristics of this kind of generator are introduced in detail, and the mapping law between the rotor structural parameters and the magnetic field modulation ability of the BDFG is studied. Finally, simulation research has verified the superiority of the above-mentioned generator structure and is suitable for application in the field of wind power generation.
