This PhD project at the University of East Anglia focuses on the design optimisation of brushless doubly fed machines (BDFMs), an emerging electrical machine technology for offshore wind turbine generators. BDFMs can operate with fractional-sized power converters and eliminate rotor brushes and slip rings. Their simplified gearbox systems, compared with high-speed generators, may reduce capital and operational costs while improving reliability and reducing maintenance requirements. These charact...
