PurposeTo present a new approach for improvement and optimization of synchronous claw‐pole alternators without changing the general machine design.Design/methodology/approachVarious changes on the magnetically relevant parts of the machine design have been discussed formerly to achieve improved electromagnetic and acoustic behavior. The electrical part of the machine is considered in this paper, varying the stator winding arrangement to achieve optimized behavior.FindingsProvides information about motivation and the methodology of the optimization process. Presents the entire analysis, covering idea, technical and computational implementation as well as verification.Research limitations/implicationsIt describes a method based on the utilization of specific, partly self‐generated software, which perhaps limits its usefulness if mentioned tools are unavailable. However, the presented basic method is to be used generally.Originality/valueThis paper presents a promising approach to further optimize the design of synchronous claw‐pole alternators without major changes in the machine design. |
