Abstract
A homopolar electro-mechanical rotary power converter is proposed that has an application in high voltage direct current (HVDC) power distribution systems and also industrially sized three-phase systems fuelled by DC producing renewable energy sources. The HERPC employs a homopolar rotor that carries no windings, power only being supplied by an external drive to overcome mechanical losses. The HERPC requires neither slip rings nor a brush type commutator.
