A Review of the Advancements in the Design of Brushless Doubly Fed Machines

Research interest on brushless doubly fed induction machines (BDFMs) is increasing, as they offer higher reliability compared to doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) in wind turbines. At the moment, BDFMs do not have a definitive structure nor design process, as literature is rife with different...

description Research interest on brushless doubly fed induction machines (BDFMs) is increasing, as they offer higher reliability compared to doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) in wind turbines. At the moment, BDFMs do not have a definitive structure nor design process, as literature is rife with different approaches to designing BDFMs. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the design of BDFMs from available literature is conducted. The evolution of cascade induction machine systems to contemporary BDFMs is first illustrated. Pioneering research work in the evolution which have influences on modern BDFM designs are highlighted. Relevant research on different aspects of present day BDFM design are then discussed. BDFM design and optimization methodologies applied in available literature are also explored.
