This paper focuses on the use of switched-mode power electronics to enhance the power, efficiency, and transient performance of Lundell alternators. The application of power electronics in conjunction with both the alternator field and armature are explored. It is shown that the combination of a foil field winding and improved field control electronics enable substantial improvements in field p...
