Abstract
A field winding synchronous machine drive system includes a field winding synchronous machine having a stator and a rotor and a drive apparatus configured to drive the field winding synchronous machine. The stator has N m-phase stator coils wound on a stator core to create a rotating magnetic field, where N is an integer not less than 2 and m is an integer not less than 3. The rotor has at least one main field winding wound on a rotor core to create field magnetic flux. The drive apparatus includes N inverters each of which supplies m-phase alternating current to a corresponding one of the N m-phase stator coils. Specifically, each of the inverters supplies the corresponding m-phase stator coil with the m-phase alternating current which includes a fundamental-wave current and a time-harmonic current superimposed on the fundamental-wave current; the time-harmonic current has a shorter period than the fundamental-wave current.
