3D Design for Bifurcated Winding Induction Generator using 3D EXPERIENCE Software of Dassault Systemes 

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform and apps are purpose built to digitalize the entire customer journey, with capabilities to analyse, design, simulate, engineer and deliver experiences. The platform enables innovators to develop a thorough understanding of their customer’s expectations by analysing social and usage information in a unique data-driven approach. Enterprises can then model, simulate and optimize their offerings to best suit each customer experience. During the operating lifecycle, this model is enriched with valuable insights gleaned from the usage data, setting the stage for the next cycle of innovation

 This work involves developing content to visualize 3-Phase Bifurcated Winding Induction Generator (BWIG) assembly, part visualization and exploded

 view. Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE platform was chosen for the development of the project and to compare the results with a physical model.

Objective

• To Develop 3D model for the Bifurcated Winding Induction Generator.

• To develop Assembly model for the Bifurcated Winding Induction Generator.

• To develop explode model for the Bifurcated Winding Induction Generator.

System Design

Bifurcated winding induction generator is a novel winding distribution. The machine has two sets of windings one is excitation winding and other is output winding. Initially, the induction machine was a normal squirrel cage induction machine with 36 slots. The stator winding is cut into two equal halves. One set of RYB windings is called as excitation winding and other set is called as output winding. Hence, the machine has two sets of windings which are magnetically coupled but not electrically. Since the stator winding is cut into two halves, the voltage that can be applied to excitation winding is also halved but the current carrying capacity is still the same. The specifications for the same is shown below 4.1

Simulation of BWIG to get constant Frequency (50 Hz) output voltages and to observe machine performances and characteristics. – Simulation carried out and output voltage of 50 Hz is obtained. 

• For Field Current.- characteristic curve excitation current versus speed is plotted. 

• Speed of Prime Mover – The output voltage for different prime mover speed is observed and the frequency of 50 hz is maintained for different speed and also Amplitude of output is observed constant for different value of speed. 

• For Different excitation voltage.-The output voltage for different input voltages is simulated and output voltage of 50 hertz is achieved. The output voltage (Amplitude) was observed proportional to input voltage.
