- the second current corrector 58 is intended to deliver a signal representative of a ud flow voltage setpoint.
- the first and the second current corrector 56, 58 may be integral proportional type PI.
- the first and the second current corrector 56, 58 are connected to the input of a Park 59 inverse transform block.
- This Park 59 inverse transform block is intended to receive the signal representative of the flux voltage. setpoint ud and setpoint torque uq.
- This inverse transforming block of Park 59 also receives the information representative of the position ⁇ of the rotor of the synchronous generator delivered by the position sensor 24.
- This inverse transformation block of Park 59 makes it possible to return to an information representative of a setpoint voltage to be applied, to the continuous AC converter by the synchronous generator, which corresponds in the case of a three-phase generator to voltages between setpoint ua, ub, uc, which corresponds to the three-phase components of the stator voltage. They correspond to the voltage applied on the AC side of the AC / DC converter, which will make it possible to extract the maximum power from the synchronous generator with permanent magnets.
- the Park 59 inverse transformation block delivers two voltages which are two-phase components ua, u of the stator voltage.
- pulse generator 60 which outputs control pulse signals to be applied to the switches S1, S2 of the bidirectional switch devices 4, 6. To this end, six control signals at the output of the modulation unit in width are schematized. pulse 60 and therefore the vector control unit 50.
- the setpoint voltage ua is injected into the pulse width modulation unit 60.
- the other setpoint voltage u is forced to zero and this zero value is injected into the unit of pulse width modulation 60.
- the vector control means 5 further comprise an inhibition unit 51 which cooperates with the vector control unit 50.
- this pulse width modulation unit 60 is driven by the inhibition unit 61.
- the inhibition unit 61 is intended to receive as input the information representative of the torque current iq delivered by the transformation block. of Park 54 and information representative of the position ⁇ of the synchronous generator rotor delivered by the position sensor 22.
- the output of the inhibition unit 61 is connected to the pulse width modulation unit 60. It produces an inhibition signal for the pulse width modulation unit 60.
- this inhibition signal is produced only when the current injected into the AC-DC converter reaches about 90% of the nominal current of the AC-DC converter and blocks the pulse width modulation unit 60.
- the nominal current of the AC-DC converter is the maximum current that can support the AC / DC converter in steady state.
- the losses are not negligible when the current injected into the AC-DC converter is high, the losses being proportional to the current. The losses associated with the switching of the bidirectional switches are then eliminated.
- the DC output of the AC-DC converter has a low ripple, it is substantially constant.
- FIGS. 5A and 5B show the processing by the switches of the AC-DC converter of the current delivered by the synchronous generator with permanent magnets. This current corresponds to a phase current in the case of a synchronous generator with multiphase permanent magnets.
- the pulses delivered by the pulse width modulation unit 60 are illustrated by the sticks.
- the maximum amplitude of the current injected into the AC-DC converter exceeds about 90% of the nominal current of the AC-DC converter.
- the pulse width modulation is inhibited.
- the switches are thus kept locked in a substantially central time range of alternating current injected into the AC-DC converter. On either side of this central range, the switches are therefore permanently activated and thus alternately switched on and off at the rhythm of the pulse width modulation.
- the maximum amplitude of the current injected into the AC-DC converter does not reach about 90% of the nominal current of the AC-DC converter. There is no inhibition of pulse width modulation.
- the switches are therefore permanently activated and thus alternately switched on and off at the rhythm of the pulse width modulation.
- FIGS. 5C and 5D illustrate, by way of example, in the case where the current injected into the AC-DC converter is less than 90% of the nominal current, the shape of the voltage applied to the common terminal A AC-DC converter and the pace of the current flowing in the switch device 4 such as that of Figure 2B.
- the monodirectional switch IG1 which is activated by the PWM pulse width modulating unit 1 to switch it alternately from a blocked state to a switched state.
- the monodirectional switch IG2 is blocked.
- a second cycle corresponding to a negative alternation of the current, it is the monodirectional switch IG2 which is activated by the PWM pulse width modulation unit to switch it from a blocked state to a state alternately. passing.
- the semiconductor switch IG1 is blocked.
- the two monodirectional switches IG1 and IG2 are blocked, the current is substantially zero.
- the current from the synchronous generator passes through the switching cell 22.1. The succession of these two cycles continues as long as the current remains less than 90% of the nominal current of the AC / DC converter.
