Design and Simulation of a Novel Self-Excitation and Discharge Separated Type Air-Core Pulsed Alternator

In order to advance the further improvement of the air-core pulsed alternator's performance and accelerate the process of its practical application in the field of electromagnetic launching, this paper proposes a novel self-excitation and discharge separated type air-core pulsed alternator and designs a typical scheme, establishes a co-simulation model for pulsed alternator and control circuit, researches around the working principles and parameter selection principles of the three working stages of self-excitation, discharge and energy reclaim, and focuses on the influence of the eddy current phenomenon of armature winding and field winding on the pulsed alternator's working performance.
