    “TURBOMACHINE STARTING-GENERATOR, TURBOMACHINE, AND CONTROL PROCESS OF A TURBOMACHINE STARTING-GENERATOR” Background of the invention [0001] The invention relates to the turbomachinery starter-generators.
    [0002] The field of application of the invention is more particularly that of the starter-generators for aeronautical engines propelled by gas turbine or for auxiliary power groups or APU (“Auxiliary Power Unit”) of gas turbine mounted on aircraft. The invention is, however, applicable to other types of turbomachinery, for example, industrial turbines.
    [0003] Such starter-generator or S / G (“Starter / Generator”) usually comprises a main electrical machine forming a main electrical generator operating in synchronous mode after starting and ignition of the associated turbomachinery. The main electrical machine has a rotary inductor and statical windings that, in synchronous generator mode, provide an alternative electrical energy to an aircraft's on-board network via a power line on which a line contactor is mounted. The alternative voltage supplied by the main generator is controlled through a generator regulation unit or GCU (“Generator Control unit”) that supplies a direct exciter of the exciter with direct current whose rotor windings are connected to the rotor inductor of the main electrical machine via a rotating rectifier. The electrical energy required to supply the exciter's inductor can be supplied by an auxiliary electrical generator such as a synchronous generator to permanent magnets, or it can be derived from the aircraft's on-board electrical network.
    [0004] The rotors of the main electrical machine, the exciter and the eventual auxiliary generator are mounted on a common axis mechanically coupled to a turbocharger axis and constitute a starter-generator with two or three stages operating without brushes (or "brushless") .
    [0005] In order to ensure the start of the turbomachinery, it is known to operate the main electric machine in synchronous electric motor mode, feeding its statics windings by an alternative voltage supplied over the line.
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 5/23
    2/14 supply via the line contactor and supplying the rotor inductor via the exciter. The generator shaft being initially stopped, it is necessary to inject via GCU an alternative voltage in the exciter's static inductor to develop an alternative voltage over its rhetorical windings which, after correction, feeds the rhetorical inductor of the main electrical machine.
    [0006] To be able to inject the required alternative voltage in order to produce the torque required at startup, the GCU must be designed and well dimensioned beyond what is necessary to supply the exciter with direct current in generator mode.
    [0007] In order to remedy this inconvenience, it was proposed in GB 2,443,032 to modify the exciter to operate in rotary transformer mode in order to supply the excitation current of the rotary inductor of the main electrical machine when it starts in synchronous mode. This modification as well as the need to pass a high power through the exciter stator when starting at low speed means that this solution presents the inconvenience of an increase in mass and of occupied space.
    [0008] It has also been proposed to ensure start-up by operating the main electrical machine in asynchronous motor mode rather than in synchronous motor mode. Reference may be made to documents US 5,055,700, US 6,844,707 and EP 2,025,926. In US 5,055,700, at start-up, the statics windings of the main electrical machine are supplied with an alternative voltage, via a start-up contactor, through a piloted inverter circuit with a voltage over constant frequency ratio. The rotor of the main electric machine is equipped with damping bars forming a “squirrel cage” type housing, allowing the rotor to be rotated while the rotor inductor of the main machine is periodically shorted through a particular switch for avoid harmful overvoltages. In US 6.844.707, at start-up, the statics windings of the main electrical machine are also supplied with alternative voltage, via a start-up contactor, by means of an inverter circuit piloted in voltage and frequency. The rotor inductor of the
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 6/23
    3/14 main machine is short-circuited by a private switch initially closed. Short-circuiting the rhetorical inductor allows the rotor to be rotated in association with damping bars associated with the rotor inductor and forming a partial “squirrel cage” type housing. The opening of the short circuit switch is controlled by the current coming from the exciter's rotor windings when the generator passes in the electric generator mode. The EP 2.025.926 document also describes the operation of the main electrical machine in asynchronous motor mode when starting, the starting torque being ensured by placing the rotor inductor in a closed circuit in series with a resistance by means of a switch with eventual assistance of damping bars.
    [0009] The operation in asynchronous mode being degraded in relation to a operation in synchronous mode, these known solutions are not adapted in the case of S / G associated with the turbomachines demanding a high power at startup, particularly in the case of aeronautical engine turbomachinery propulsion.
    [0010] On the other hand, these known solutions require the insertion of a commandable switch in parallel or in series with the rotor inductor of the main electrical machine, which is an element that cannot be trusted.
    [0011] Furthermore, it is well known for a long time to start asynchronous mode the synchronous electric motors equipped with coiled inductors or bars forming a “squirrel cage” type housing. The start-up phase until the synchronization speed is reached is only in asynchronous mode. Reference can be made to documents US 3,354,368 and GB 175,084.
    Object and summary of the invention [0012] The purpose of the invention is to provide a turbo-generator starter that does not present the above mentioned drawbacks and proposes, according to one of its aspects, a starter generator comprising:
    - a main electrical machine designed to operate in
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 7/23
    4/14 synchronous electric generator after starting the turbomachine and to operate in electric motor mode when starting a turbomachine, the main electric machine having a stator with statically wound windings and a rotor with a rolled rotor inductor and the damping bars forming a housing being electrically connected to each other at their ends,
    - an exciter having a static inductor and a rotor with rhetorical windings connected to the rhetorical inductor of the main electrical machine via a rotary rectifier, the rotors of the main electrical machine and the exciter being mounted on a common axis intended to be mechanically coupled to an axis of the turbomachinery,
    - a generator regulation unit connected to the exciter's static inductor to supply a direct current to the exciter's static inductor when the main electrical machine operates in electrical generator mode, and
    - a start-up regulation unit connected to the statics windings of the main electrical machine via a starter contact to supply an alternating current to the statics windings of the main electrical machine when operating in electric motor mode,
    - starter-generator in which:
    - the start control unit comprises a first start regulator circuit in asynchronous motor mode, a second start regulator circuit in synchronous motor mode, an inverter to supply the alternating current to the statistical windings of the main electrical matrix via the starting contact , a motor mode switch to drive the inverter through the first or second start regulator circuit, and a motor mode switch control circuit to start the start phase in asynchronous motor mode and to switch from a start mode. asynchronous motor to a synchronous motor mode during the starting phase when the axis rotation speed exceeds a predetermined limit, and
    - the housing formed by the damping bars is configured to allow it to start only in asynchronous motor mode without contribution

    5/14 remarkable of the rhetorical inductor of the main electrical machine to the generation of the starting torque.
    [0013] Such a provision is more particularly advantageous in the case of starter-generators associated with aeronautical propulsion engine turbomachinery, the balance in synchronous engine mode being controlled to a speed limit beyond which operation in asynchronous engine mode no longer guarantees providing sufficient starting torque for such turbomachinery. The invention is also notable for the fact that the arrangement of the damping bars is designed to favor operation in an asynchronous motor, without having to configure the rhetorical inductor in short-circuit at startup.
    [0014] Advantageously, the damping bars are divided into angles substantially uniformly, the angular step P between two nearby damping bars being such that 0.8 Pm <P <1.2 Pm, preferably as 0.9 Pm < P <1.1 Pm, where Pm is the mean value of the angular step in the set of damping bars. The substantially regular arrangement of the damping bars allows not only to favor operation in asynchronous motor mode, but also to avoid large torque ripples.
    [0015] According to a particularity of the generator, it includes an angular position sensor connected to the second starting control circuit to provide it with information representative of the angular position of the rotor of the main electrical machine.
    [0016] Preferably also, each start regulator circuit is connected to sensors providing information representative of the current intensities in statics windings of the main electrical machine, and each start regulator circuit comprises a calculation unit to evaluate the actual starting torque supplied to from the information representative of the current intensities in statical windings and to produce control signals from the inverter in order to subordinate the actual starting torque supplied to a specified pre-registered torque value.
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 9/23
    6/14 [0017] In addition, the start-up regulation unit can be connected to a sensor providing information representative of the rotation speed of the shaft and comprise a circuit to provide the first and second start-up regulators with a specified torque value from a pre-registered profile of variation of the starting torque as a function of the rotation speed of the shaft.
    [0018] According to another of its aspects, the invention also aims at a turbomachinery equipped with the starter-generator as defined above.
    [0019] According to yet another of its aspects, the invention aims at a control process of a turbomachine start-up generator during a turbomachine start-up phase, the start-up generator comprising; a main electrical machine having a stator carrying stat windings and a rotor with a coiled rhetorical inductor and damping bars forming a housing being electrically connected to each other at their ends, and an exciter having a stator inductor and a rotor with rhetorical windings being connected to the rhetorical inductor of the main electrical machine via a rotary rectifier, the rotors of the main electrical machine and the exciter being mounted on a common axis, a process according to which:
    - when the turbomachine is initially stopped, the main electrical machine is controlled in asynchronous motor mode by injecting an alternating current into the windings of the main electrical machine, a starting torque being generated by means of the damping, practically without the contribution of the rhetorical inductor of the electric machine to the generation of the starting torque,
    - during a second stage following the start-up phase, the main electrical machine is controlled in synchronous motor mode by injecting an alternating current into the main electrical machine's statically windings while feeding the rhetorical inductor of the main electrical machine with direct current by injection direct current in the exciter's static inductor, and
    - the passage from the first stage to the second stage of the start-up phase is controlled when the rotation speed of the shaft reaches a value
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 10/23
    7/14 predetermined.
    [0020] Advantageously, a main electrical machine is used whose rotor comprises damping bars which are divided obliquely substantially uniformly with an angular pitch P between two close damping bars so that 0.8 Pm <P <1, 2 Pm, preferably 0.9 Pm <P <1.1 Pm where Pm is the mean value of the angular step in the set of damping bars.
    [0021] During the start-up phase, the start-generator is preferably controlled to subordinate the torque supplied by the main electrical machine to a specified predetermined value depending on the speed of rotation of the shaft.
    Brief description of the drawings [0022] The invention will be better understood by reading the description made below, as an indication but not a limitation, with reference to the attached drawings.
    [0023] Figure 1 is a very simplified diagram of a gas turbine aircraft engine.
    [0024] Figure 2 shows in a very schematic way the arrangement of a starter-generator according to an embodiment of the invention.
    [0025] Figure 3 is a schematic view in radial section of an embodiment of a main electrical machine rotor in the starter-generator of figure 2. [0026] Figure 4 is a schematic view at the end of the rotor of figure 3 .
    [0027] Figure 5 is a schematic view in radial section of another embodiment of a main electric machine rotor of the starter-generator of Figure 2. [0028] Figure 6 is a schematic of a unit embodiment of start-up generator setting in figure 2.
    Detailed description of embodiments [0029] The invention will mainly be described below in the context of its application to a turbo-generator starter of an airplane propulsion engine as, for example, shown in a very simplified way in figure 1.
    [0030] The invention is, however, applicable to starter-generators of other turbomachinery, notably helicopter turbines, industrial turbines or
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 11/23
    8/14 turbines of auxiliary power groups (APU).
    [0031] The turbomachinery of figure 1 comprises a combustion chamber 1, the combustion gases coming from chamber 1, driving a high pressure turbine (HP) 2 and a low pressure turbine (BP) 3, the turbine 2 is coupled by an axis to an HP compressor 4 that supplies the combustion chamber 1 with air under pressure while the turbine 3 is coupled by another axis to a fan 5 at the engine inlet.
    [0032] A transmission box 6, or accessories box, is connected by a mechanical power outlet 7 to a turbine shaft and comprises a set of pinions for the activation of different equipment, notably pumps and at least one starter-generator (hereinafter “S / G”) 10.
    [0033] Figure 2 schematically shows an S / G 10 with three stages, a main electrical machine 20, an exciter 30 and an auxiliary generator 40 whose rotors are mounted on a common axis 12 mechanically connected to a turbocharger motor shaft. plane like the one in figure 1.
    [0034] The main electrical machine 20 comprises, in the rotor, a coiled rotary inductor 22 and, in the stator of the statical windings 24a, 24b, 24c that can be connected in star. The exciter 30 comprises, in the stator, an inductive winding 34 and, in the rotor, rhetorical windings 32a, 32b, 32c that can be connected in star. The alternating currents developed in the exciter rotor 30 are rectified by a rotating rectifier 36, like a rotating diode bridge, to supply the rotor inductor of the main electrical machine. Auxiliary generator 40 is, for example, a permanent magnet synchronous generator with a rotor 42 carrying permanent magnets and stat windings 44a, 44b, 44c that can be connected in star.
    [0035] In generator mode, the turbomachinery having started and ignited, the main electrical machine 20 constitutes a synchronous electrical generator that supplies the stator with a three-phase electrical voltage (in this example) over a power line 26 over which it is line switch 28 is inserted. Power line 26 forwards the electrical voltage to the on-board network (not
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 12/23
    Represented 9/14) of the plane. The regulation of the produced voltage is ensured by a generator regulation unit or GCU 50 that controls the supply of the exciter inductor 34 with direct current to subordinate the voltage llréf at a reference point on the line 26 to a specified value. For this purpose, information representing the instantaneous value of the voltage llréf is supplied to the GCU 50. The electrical energy required to supply the exciter 30 is supplied by the auxiliary generator 40, the GCU 50 receiving and rectifying the alternative voltage supplied to the generator stator. auxiliary 40. As a variant, the GCU 50's power could be derived from the airplane's on-board electrical network. Such operation of an S / G in generator mode is known.
    [0036] In start-up mode, the main electric machine 20 constitutes an electric motor providing the necessary torque for the rotation of the turbomachinery. During the start-up phase, stat windings 24a, 24b, 24c of the main electrical machine 20 are supplied with alternating current by means of a start-up regulation unit 60 comprising an inverter which is connected to windings 24a, 24b, 24c by a line 62 over which a start contactor 64 is inserted.
    [0037] When the turbomachinery is initially stopped, the electric machine 20 works in asynchronous motor mode using damping bars associated with rotor inductor 22 of the main electrical machine 20. In a well known way, in operation in synchronous generator mode, these damping bars have the function of contributing to the mechanical behavior of the rotor, improving the sinusoidal shape factor by standardizing the air gap in the air gap, reducing the consequences of poorly divided three-phase loads and dampening oscillations during transient loads .
    [0038] According to a characteristic of the invention, the damping bars are arranged in priority to favor the generation of a high starting torque.
    [0039] As shown in figures 3 and 4, the damping bars 222 are
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 13/23
    10/14 advantageously angularly substantially evenly and are electrically connected at each other at their ends to form “squirrel cage” type housing. In the illustrated example, the rotor of the main electrical machine is in projecting poles 224 that carry rotor windings 226 of the inductor 22. The bars 222 that extend parallel to the rotor axis near the end of the poles 224, the axes of the bars 222 being located on the same cylindrical surface. At one of its axial ends, the bars 222 are joined by a crown 228 (figure 4). At their other axial ends, the bars are joined in the same way by another similar crown. By substantially regular angular distribution of bars 222, here is meant an arrangement such that the angular pitch P between two bars meets the ratio 0.8 Pm <P <1.2 Pm, preferably 0.9 Pm <P <1.1 Pm, where Pm is the mean angular step for the set of bars.
    [0040] In addition to optimized operation in asynchronous motor mode, the substantially regular distribution of the damping bars has the advantage of avoiding large torque ripples as a result of a very irregular distribution.
    [0041] The substantially regular arrangement of the bars imposes, however, a relatively short distance between poles 224 at their ends, necessarily less than the step P. A leakage flow between poles can result, but relatively limited and not very penalizing for the functioning of the main electric machine 20 in synchronous mode. In the example illustrated by figure 3, poles 224 are numbered 6 and the number of bars is equal to 21 alternating 3 bars and 4 bars per pole. Note that the angular arrangement of the bars is not necessarily symmetrical in relation to an axis passing through this center of the poles.
    [0042] A different arrangement can be adopted, for example, with a 4-pole rotor protruding and a number of bars equal to 18 alternating 4 bars and 5 bars per pole, as shown in figure 6.
    [0043] Of course, it would be possible to adopt a different number of bars than
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 14/23
    11/14 of the illustrated examples, notably according to the specific application envisaged. [0044] To have a high torque in asynchronous motor mode using housing 220, the electrical resistance of the housing should preferably be minimized. In fact, if the electrical resistance of the housing formed by the bars 222 and the crowns 228 is very high, it may be impossible to induce a sufficient current in the bars to reach the desired torque level with the available supply voltage level of the drive inverter. start regulation. In addition, very high resistance induces large Joule losses which are detrimental from the point of view of performance and from a thermal point of view. The damping bars 222 and the crowns 228 connecting them at their ends are then preferably made of good electrically conductive material, for example, copper and with a section greater than that required for the bars for the sole damping function.
    [0045] It may, on the other hand, be advantageous to give the bars 228 a rectangular section instead of circular, of equal section, in order to harm the magnetic section of the flow passage as little as possible.
    [0046] Note that the entire starting torque in asynchronous motor mode is produced thanks to housing 220, without the contribution of rotor windings that are not closed again on themselves.
    [0047] When the rotation speed of axis 12 reaches a limit value as the supply of the required torque can no longer be guaranteed by the main electrical machine operating in asynchronous motor mode, an asynchronous motor mode switching in motor mode synchronous is controlled to carry out the second and last stage of the start-up phase. The exciter being in rotation, a direct current is injected by GC11 50 over the exciter inductor 34 in order to supply the coiled inductor 22 with direct current via the rotating rectifier 36. At the same time, the stat windings 24a, 24b, 24c of main electrical machine are supplied with alternating current through the starter regulation unit 60, while at the same time ensuring an optimum orientation of the statistical flow in relation to the rotor position.
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 15/23
    12/14 [0048] In a classic way, when the torque produced by the turbomachinery is sufficient to no longer need the S / G, the starting contact 64 is open, and the closing of the line contact 28 can be controlled by GCU 50 when the speed of the S / G, and therefore its frequency, are sufficient.
    [0049] A particular embodiment of the start-up regulation unit 60 will now be described with reference to figure 6.
    [0050] The voltages supplying the statics windings of the main electrical machine are produced by a starter inverter 602 that is piloted in voltage and frequency through an inverter control circuit 604. The electrical energy required to generate the desired voltages by the inverter 602 and the operation of the different components of the start-up regulation unit 60 is provided by a supply line (not shown) from an on-board network of the APU powered airplane or a generator set on the ground.
    [0051] According to the position of a motor mode switch 606, the inverter control circuit 604 is connected in input to an asynchronous start regulator circuit 608 or to a synchronous start regulator circuit 610.
    [0052] A circuit 614 has inputs connected to current sensors 620a, 620b, 620c inserted on the conductors of line 62 to provide circuits 608 and 610 representative of the intensity of the phase currents in the statics windings of the main electrical machine.
    [0053] A circuit 616 has an input connected to a sensor 14 (figure 2) mounted on axis 12 of the S / G to provide circuits 608 and 610 with information representative of the rotation speed of axis 12. A circuit 618 has a input also connected to sensor 14 to provide circuit 610 with information representative of the angular position of axis 12, that is, representative of the angular position of the rotor of the main electrical machine 20. Sensor 14 is, for example, an angular position sensor that allows to derive from the sensor signals a position information and a speed information, such sensor being known in itself.
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 16/23
    13/14 [0054] The angular position sensor can be omitted when this position can be calculated from the measurement of electrical quantities that depend on it. [0055] The operation of the start-up regulation unit 60 is as follows.
    [0056] In response to a start order St, a digital control unit 600 controls the closing of contactor 64 and the balance of the motor mode switch 606 to connect the asynchronous start control circuit 608 to the control circuit 604 inverter.
    [0057] As shown schematically in Figure 6, a table 612 contains information representing the specified value of the starting torque C as a function of the rotation speed N of the S / G axis. The required torque value here is substantially constant from the start of the start-up phase and decreases at the end of it. The numerical control unit 600 receives from the circuit 616 the information representing the speed of rotation N and controls the table 612 in reading to supply circuit 608 with a specified value of torque Cs. In addition, circuit 608 comprises a calculation unit for notably calculating a quantity representative of the actual torque exerted by the main electrical machine and supplying the voltage and frequency control circuit of inverter 604 with the specified voltage and frequency information in order to subordinate notably the value of the actual torque to the specified value Cs as a function of speed.
    [0058] For this purpose, starting from the values of the intensities of the phase currents in statical windings, one can calculate the torque current Iq and the current flow Id of the electric machine, in a well-known way. The current Iq which is the image of the actual torque is subordinated to a specified value corresponding to the specified torque Cs. The current of Id flows is the image of the rotational flow and can be subordinated to its maximum value before saturation.
    [0059] When the speed increases, the maximum torque that a machine operating in asynchronous motor mode can provide decreases after a certain speed. There is then a speed of rotation Ni after which the machine cannot deliver the specified torque required. This Ni value depends on the characteristics of the machine.
    Petition 870190044105, of 05/10/2019, p. 17/23
    14/14 [0060] When the Ni value is reached, the numerical control unit 600 controls the balance of the motor mode switch 606 to connect the synchronous start regulator circuit 610 to the inverter control circuit 604 and controls the GCU 50 to supply the stator winding of exciter 30 in direct current. As previously, digital control unit 600 controls table 612 to supply the specified value of torque Cs to circuit 610 as a function of speed.
    [0061] Just like circuit 608, the regulating circuit for synchronous start-up comprises means for calculating the actual torque. Circuit 610 provides the inverter control circuit 604 with the specified voltage and frequency information to subordinate the actual torque to the specified value Cs as a function of speed, while ensuring an optimum stator flow position in relation to the angular position of the rotor. For this purpose, as previously, the currents Iq and Id are calculated. The current Iq is subordinated to a specified value that corresponds to the specified torque Cs. The flow stream can be subordinated to a null value. On the exciter side, the stator is supplied with a current such that the level of inductive flow is maximum at the level of the main electrical machine, in order to reduce as much as possible the stator current of the main electrical machine to a given torque to be supplied. When the speed increases, the exciter inductor current is decreased to reduce the flow in the main electrical machine and prevent the electromotive force from becoming too high in relation to the supply voltage of the inverter 602.
    [0062] The opening of the line switch 64 is controlled by the control unit 600 when the speed of rotation reaches a predetermined value.
