Rotating Electric Machines
for Naval Applications
• Rotating electric machines are a critical element
of every naval vessel in service today
• Rotating electric machines address
a broad range of naval applications:
– Simple electric motor driven loads
– Prime/auxiliary power generation
• Emerging high speed generation
– Propulsion
• Induction, WF synchronous, PM
– EMALS pulsed power system
• Specialized rotating electric machines are already
an important part of the US Navy’s toolbox
– Providing robust, reliable solutions for critical mission loads

M3PS Concept
• Modular system of high performance rotating
electric machines combining inertial energy storage
with continuous and pulsed power capabilities
– Builds on successful EMALS concept
• Provide stand-alone solutions or can be integrated
into hybrid systems as part of an Energy Magazine
– Scalable systems to meet range of applications
• Fully integrated topology to maximize energy and
power density
Flywheel Topologies
Non-Integrated Topology
• Larger than other topologies, but
may have most simple assembly
• Maximum use of conventional M/G
systems and technology
• Flexible / adaptive design
• Power generation outside of vacuum
• Requires shaft seal and coupling
Partially-Integrated Topology
Fully-Integrated Topology
• Smaller and more efficient than nonintegrated
• Good use of available M/G technology,
but integration required
• Good design adaptability
• Favors use of PM generator
• Heat generation on rotor requires
careful engineering
• Most compact system
• Special purpose flywheel system
• Favors use of PM generator
• Heat generation on rotor requires
special engineering
• Rotating magnets at large radius
• Uses arbor or magnetic bearings to
match rotor growth
Combat Hybrid Power Supply
Combat Hybrid Propulsion System (CHPS)
• Dual use flywheel energy storage
– “Inside-out” arbor-less technology
– Continuous duty and pulse loads for
offensive and defensive systems
– Rotor assembly and material property
matching key for life requirements

Compensated Pulsed Alternators
Compensated Pulsed Alternators
• Conceived at University of Texas in late ’70s
– Original application was laser power supply for Lawrence
Livermore inertial confinement fusion program
• Wound field synchronous generator with
compensating windings or eddy current shields
– Low impedance
– High airgap flux densities
– Gigawatts for milliseconds
Megamp Output
Current Pulses
• Capable of directly driving large pulsed loads
– Demonstrated synchronized discharge of parallel machines
Armature Compensation
• Use image currents in compensating winding or
conductive eddy current shield to contain magnetic
fields from armature output currents
– Minimizes internal impedance
• Multiple topologies and compensation techniques
– Iron core, air core, rotating field, rotating armature,
single- or multiphase
– Active, passive, selective passive
– External excitation or self excitation
Compensation Techniques
• Active compensation features a compensating
winding in series with the armature winding
– Sharp pulse with fast rise time
• Passive compensation uses a conductive eddy
current shield
– Essentially sinusoidal output pulse
• Selective passive compensation uses a shorted
compensating winding rotated azimuthally
relative to the main armature winding
– Can be tailored for a variety of output pulse shapes
PA Development History
Latest PA Designs
• Latest PA designs are air core
machines without compensation
– Highest power density
• Self-excited system
– “Seed” current injected into
rotating field winding
– Resultant armature output is
rectified and fed back onto the
field winding
– Armature output is switched into
load when peak field current is
achieved
2004 Internal Design Study
Additional PA Benefits
• System can be designed to
minimize transient loading on
ship power system
– Take advantage of operation over
wide speed range to buffer supply
• System stores energy for
multiple high energy pulses
• Stored energy available to
support other transient loads or
to provide active filtering

Summary/Conclusions
• Rotating electric machines are already being used to
address critical mission loads for the US Navy
• Modular Multi-Mode Power Supplies (M3PS) are a
family of advanced rotating machines that can
effectively address a wide range of Navy applications
• M3PS concepts offer improved energy & power
density relative to alternative pulsed power systems
• M3PS concepts can also provide additional support
for the ship power system when not being used for
their primary mission load
