How can I use a three phase WYE alternator to charge a battery with a DC output?

AI Thread Summary
To charge a battery using a three-phase WYE alternator connected to a wind turbine, a rectifier is necessary to convert the AC output to DC. Each phase can be rectified individually, and the outputs can be combined to charge a battery. Connecting batteries in series may not be essential for the basic charging setup, depending on the system design. A diagram can provide clarity on the wiring and connections needed. Understanding these components is crucial for successful battery charging from the alternator.

So I am trying to figure out how to wire a three phase generator. I understand the WYE connection, but I am stumped about the load connections and specifically what to do then. The generator will be connected to a wind turbine so I will be needing to charge batteries. So my main question is...

Do I connect a rectifier to each load and then to a battery which are in series? I have included a picture to make a question more clear on what I am talking about.

Thanks for reading

Your three phase WYE alternator can be used to produce one DC output (as in car alternator circuits) which can charge a battery. See this link for a diagram.
I am not sure what your idea of connecting batteries in series is all about. Perhaps it is not relevant if that link answers your basic question?
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
