Abstract: A temperature field model of brush and slip ring system in doubly-fed induction generator is established in this paper by using the ANSYS software based on the principle of thermoelectric coupling. The temperature field of brush and slip ring system is calculated with the finite element method under normal operating condition, and the temperature field and current density vector distribution of the various components in the system are obtained in the paper. Then, the uneven distribution fault of brush current is simulated by loading different currents onto different brushes, and a transient simulation analysis is carried out on the brush and slip ring system under fault state. The temperature field and electric field under fault condition are compared with that under normal condition. Finally, relevant conclusions are given, which can guide the state monitoring of the temperature field and overheating fault forecast of the brush and slip ring system.
