MagneForce Software Systems has demonstrated the transient solution solver built into its BLDC software.
GenAC will automatically vary the load resistance, field current or field voltage in order to keep the output voltage constant as the input speed varies.
This constant voltage simulation technique works for synchronous machines supplying either a balanced three-phase load or through a rectifier.
This type of load is often referred to as a battery load and this technique is especially useful in the design of vehicle power generation systems.
MagneForce Software Systems specialises in producing simulation software for rotating electric machines using finite elements for magnetic field calculations together with various time-based techniques for circuit simulations.
This approach allows MagneForce to accurately compute all harmonics and nonlinearities whether they are magnetic, spatial or time based.
