This paper aims at the improvement of the generating capability of a hybrid excited brushless claw pole alternator (HEBCPA).
Following the identification of the HEBCPA influent sizing parameters, the investigation of their impact on the back‐EMF production capability is carried out considering a 3D‐finite element analysis (FEA).
The HEBCPA Back‐EMF production capability is highly affected by the variation of the influent sizing parameters. A selected combination of these parameters has led to an optimized generating capability.
An experimental validation of the generating performance computed by 3D‐FEA shall be treated in the future.
The optimized HEBCPA is of great interest for the automotive applications as well as for wind energy generating systems.
The optimized HEBCPA is a new concept that has been proposed by the authors in a recent work.
