Abstract
- Pulsed power technology is widely used in medical treatment, military, and scientific research, such as laser burst and electromagnetic launch. Compensated pulsed alternator (CPA) is a kind of device generating that pulsed power. One of the shortages for the air-core pulsed alternator is the huge excitation loss. In order to solve the problems, a multidisk axial flux CPA (MAFCPA) is proposed, which replaces the excitation windings with permanent magnets, saving the self-excitation process. In addition, multidisks are designed, especially to reduce subtransient reactance when the CPA discharges, which contributes to increasing the discharging current. This paper mainly focuses on researching the feasibility of MAFCPA in aspects of thermal issues, rotor statics, and dynamics problems. First, the topology and principle of MAFCPA are introduced, and the properties of the materials are listed as well. Second, the loss of discharging is calculated and the temperatures of both stator and rotor are solved. Then, the maximum stresses of different materials are obtained. Afterward, the critical speeds are researched in order to avoid resonance. Finally, the conclusion is made that MAFCPA can work safely under a speed of 10000 r/min and supply a pulse of over 50 ms.
