    Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of an exciterless synchronous machine are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is a salient pole rotor for an electric machine comprising one set of pole pairs including a first, second, and third pole pair; a field winding; a set of energy harvest windings, each winding mounted to each of the plurality of pole pairs and structured to receive a harmonic component of AC power from a stator; and a DC power supply structured to receive the harmonic component from the set of energy harvest windings, convert the harmonic component to DC power, and output the DC power to the field winding. The set of energy harvest windings are arranged in a first sequence on the first pole pair, a second sequence on the second pole pair, and a third sequence on the third pole pair, and each sequence is different.

    Abstract: Unique systems, methods, techniques and apparatuses of a power converter are disclosed. One exemplary embodiment is an electrical power conversion system comprising a first converter stage, a second converter stage, a third converter stage, and a control system. The first converter stage is operable to boost DC power received from a DC power source. The second converter stage is operable to boost DC power received from the first converter stage. The third converter stage includes an inverter. The control system is structured to receive as input voltage (Vpv) and current (Ipv) output by the DC power source, voltage (Vdc) output by the second controller stage, and voltage (Vac) and a current (Iac) which are output by the third stage to an AC electrical power system, provide a control command for the first converter stage, and process the information of Vdc, Vac and Iac to provide control commands for the inverter switches.
