Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012093942A1] An energy conversion system is disclosed, which comprises an electrical machine (32) or a group of electrical machines (32), where each separate winding group (50) inside one electrical machine (32) or individual electrical machine (32) in the group of electrical machines (32) is galvanically connected to an associated power converter (rectifier or inverter) unit (33). Energy storage circuits (DC links) (34) of the converters (33) are connected to one another in series forming a common high DC voltage (45). Alternatively AC/AC converter elements (33) are connected in series forming a high AC voltage (121). Furthermore, each separate winding group (50) inside one electrical machine (32) or individual electrical machine (32) in the group of electrical machines (32) is surrounded by an electrical screen (60, 60A-E) of conductive or semi-conductive material for redistribution of electric potentials inside the system. The potential redistribution allows slot insulation of electric machines (32) to be designed for considerably lower voltage than the common high AC voltage (121) or high DC voltage (45). This means thinner slot insulation, better heat transfer in the machine, better fault detection and the machine size considerably smaller than of the corresponding machine with high-voltage insulation.
