Abstract:
A device and method for controlling the output of a wide speed range high reactance permanent magnet machine based PGS is provided. The windings of a permanent magnet machine are coupled to a three-phase diode bridge. A transistor is used for temporarily short-circuiting said diode bridge. A capacitor smoothes the voltage at a voltage detection point. A control unit generates a signal that switches the transistor in response to a voltage detected at the voltage detection point. The control unit signal modifies the duty cycle of the switching of the transistor in response to variations in the speed of the power generator to maintain a desired voltage at the voltage detection point.
