Modélisation et optimisation d'une machine synchrone à commutation de flux et à double excitation à bobinage global

In this thesis, a new hybrid excitation, flux-switching machine is being presented. The main feature of this device is its global winding hybrid excitation with claw poles. This solution has been explored in order to reduce the copper mass and increase excitation winding efficiency. One of the most widely used alternators in automotive applications is a claw pole alternator whose claws are located on the rotor. The prototype introduced in this study is based on the same principle yet with claws located on the stator, which allows its rotor to be passive in rotating at higher speeds without slip-rings or brushes. Furthermore, the advantages of the double excitation are cumulative.The thesis will first describe the structure and operating principles of this new hybrid excitation, flux-switching machine, For example, the no-load flux linkage and the back-electromotive force on a no-load are measured and calculated;. Moreover, the load testing of this machine will be displayed. Short-circuit currents will be calculated and measured in order to determine the output power capability while operating in generator mode. The second chapter presents finite element and analytical models which allows to determine the output power capability while operating in generator mode. And with the FEA, the no-load flux linkage is investigated, This investigation serves to highlight: the influence of the stacking factor, the B-H curve definition, and the permanent magnet residual induction value, Finally, a lumped-parameter magnetic circuit model is developed and validated by 3-D finite element analysis, The model allows estimating output power of the structure when running in generator mode (with a DBR) faster than with 3D-FEA. In addition, thanks to the model the geometry is optimized for several specifications,
