Abstract
A hybrid asynchronous induction machine includes a stator disposed in a stator housing, the stator comprising an input winding for a polyphase input signal, a primary output winding and a secondary output winding. The machine also includes a rotor having a shaft connected to a flywheel of an energy storage unit. The rotor comprises a primary rotor winding for a polyphase AC excitation signal and a secondary rotor winding for bidirectional power flow. The hybrid asynchronous induction machine is further configured to receive a compensation signal for cancelling low-frequency electrical resonances.
