Chapter 6—Asynchronous Generators 6–42<br />

Corporation, demonstrated the technical feasibility of this concept. Development is continuing<br />

on larger sizes. Questions of generator efficiency, reliability, and expected life have not been<br />

fully answered but there seem to be no insurmountable problems.<br />

9 PROBLEMS<br />

1. The Jacobs Model 60 is a dc shunt generator used for charging 32-V batteries. It is<br />

rated at I B =60AandV g = 40 V at 300 r/min. The circuit is that of Fig. 2. Assume<br />

V B =34V,R b =0.1Ω,R a =0.5Ω,andR f = 40 Ω. Assume the diode is ideal and<br />

the load switch is open. The rotor diameter is 4.4 m and rated windspeed is 12 m/s.<br />

(a) Find E at 300 r/min when I B =60A.<br />

(b) Find the generated power at 300 r/min<br />

(c) Find the electrical power delivered to the battery at 300 r/min.<br />

(d) Find the ratio of generated power P e to the power in the wind P w at rated load<br />

and rated windspeed. Assume standard conditions. (Note: The formula for P w is<br />

given in Chapter 4.)<br />

(e) Find the rotor speed at which the batteries will just start to charge, ignoring<br />

armature reaction. Assume the generator is operating well into saturation so the<br />

flux is constant for small changes in I f ,whichmakesE vary only with rotational<br />

speed.<br />

2. A three-phase PM generator connected into a resistive (unity power factor) load is rated<br />

at 5 kW, 225 V line to line, 60 Hz, at 1800 r/min. The no load voltage is 250 V line to<br />

line at 1800 r/min. The circuit is given in Fig. 5.<br />

(a) Find the rated current.<br />

(b) Find k e of Eq. 15.<br />

(c) Assume R s = 0 and find X s .<br />

(d) What is the percentage change in P e (given by Eq. 17) for a 10 percent decrease in<br />

speed, if the total three-phase power is 5 kW at 1800 r/min?<br />

3. What is the rated power of the PM generator in the previous problem at 5400 r/min,<br />

assuming the rated current does not change with speed?<br />

4. Zephyr Wind Dynamo Company sells a 15-kW, three-phase, 108-pole, 240-V, permanentmagnet<br />

ac generator for home heating applications where frequency is not critical. Rated<br />

power is reached at 300 r/min.<br />

(a) What is the frequency of the generated voltage at rated speed?<br />

(b) What rotor speed would yield an output frequency of 60 Hz?<br />
