Hybrid Synchronous Machine Capable Of High Output Power For Optimizing The Potentials In Nigeria’s Extractive Industries

Abstract

The economy of every nation is driven by electrical energy. However, the inadequacy of public supply affects industrial production output. For this reason, an alternative and reliable source of power is presented. This paper focuses on a hybrid source of power that will deliver a constant power to enhance industrial high production. The generator comprises a salient pole and round pole machines that are magnetically coupled together and integrally wound. The unique feature about this generator is that it is rugged, and while running at a synchronous speed, the effective quadrature axis reactance Xq can be adjusted by tuning the variable capacitance load of the auxiliary winding thereby delivering a high output power that will empower every equipment in an industry. When this type of generator is employed in extractive industry, production output will increase. The circuit diagram of the machine is presented and analyzed. It has a high output power and performance is better than every other conventional generator
