Nouvelles structures de machines électriques pour la génération embarquée avionique

This work addresses the subject of the embedded electric generation in future aircraft. The main objective is to find a new electrical machine structures that can meet the new avionic requirements. We have been particularly interested in a Hybrid Excited Flux Switching machine with a Magnetic Bridge (HEFSMMB). The structure of this machine has several advantages such as static excitation sources, a passive rotor and a unique stator structure which makes it possible to have a low residual voltage, thus respecting the safety constraints. We have presented in the first chapter a state of the art on singly and doubly excited flux switching machines. We have also given the rules which define the choice of the number of stator and rotor poles. Chapter 2 was devoted to study the electromagnetic performances of the HEFSMMB using a finite element model. This model has been validated by experimental measurements carried out on a 3 kW prototype. In the final chapter, we have put in place an optimization methodology in order to improve the overall performances of the HEFSMMB and to limit its residual voltage. The optimization results showed much improved performances. It can be concluded that the MCFDEPM is a good candidate to replace the three-stage machine in future aircraft.
