Abstract :
Performance testing of the model-scale CPA was completed at the University of Texas Center for Electromechanics. A major part of the project was the development of design and simulation codes that would accurately represent the performance of pulsed alternators. This paper discusses the components of the system and its operational sequence. Details of the performance simulation model are presented along with test data. The test result is compared to the predicted data
