It aims to provide an effective tool for predicting the distribution of electromagnetic force waves in SynRMs, while exploring the influence of drive modes on their vibration characteristics. The study focuses on a 4-pole, 36-slot 5.5 kW SynRM. Based on the magnetomotive force (MMF)-permeance method, incorporating the special rotor structure and the characteristics of current harmonics under square-wave drive, an air-gap flux distribution function is established. Meanwhile, Maxwell's stress tensor method is adopted to analyze how the air-gap flux density relates to electromagnetic excitation force waves. Subsequently, this analysis is applied to forecast the spatiotemporal distribution features of radial electromagnetic force waves. Finite element simulations are conducted to compute the modal and vibration responses of the SynRM, followed by a comparative analysis of the vibration characteristics under the two drive methods. Additionally, a 6-pole, 36-slot SynRM is used for additional comparative verification. Ultimately, the effectiveness of the simulation results is verified through experiments.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"9 3","pages":"300-312"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11189081","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To suppress startup disturbances and achieve a control strategy with low computational complexity and high precision, this paper proposes a five-degree-of-freedom hybrid magnetic bearing control strategy based on an improved cascaded reduced-order linear active disturbance rejection controller (CRLADRC). The front-stage reduced-order linear extended state observer (FRLESO) reduces the system's computational complexity, enabling the system to maintain stability during motor startup disturbances. The second-stage reduced-order linear extended state observer (SRLESO) further enhances the system's disturbance estimation accuracy while maintaining low computational complexity. Furthermore, the disturbance rejection and noise suppression capabilities are analyzed in the frequency domain and the stability of the proposed control method is proven using Lyapunov theory. Experimental results indicate that the proposed strategy effectively reduces displacement fluctuations in the hybrid magnetic bearing support system during motor startup, significantly enhancing the system's robustness.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"9 3","pages":"340-351"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11189078","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key of this new AM is to consider armature reaction flux and armature leakage flux, which are closely related to output torque. Firstly, the expressions, including magnetomotive force (MMF) generated by permanent magnets (PMs) and armature windings are derived, and meanwhile slotting effect is considered by planning flux path. In addition, the expression of leakage flux density generated by armature windings are calculated, and flux density equivalence coefficient of tooth is calculated to be 2/3, which is used to solve the problem of uneven saturation of each tooth. Then, based on main flux factor and leakage flux factor proposed, an improved iteration process is proposed, and by this new process, the flux density of each yoke and tooth can be obtained, which is beneficial to obtain more accurate air-gap flux density and flux linkage. Finally, a prototype of 60-pole 54-slot is fabricated, and the performances of the electric machine, such as back electromotive force (EMF) and output torque, are calculated by this new AM and finite element method (FEM).

Unlike conventional finite-set MPCC methods that rely on cost function evaluation over discrete switching states, the proposed approach eliminates the need for look-up tables by employing a pre-defined set of virtual vectors. These centroid-based virtual voltage vectors are synthesized by combining two adjacent active vectors and two nonzero voltage vectors in opposite directions adjacent to the sector replacing the traditional switching set. They approximate the reference voltage vector in both magnitude and phase angle, thereby reducing current tracking error through a simplified cost function. The number of candidate vectors is reduced, preserving computational efficiency. Furthermore, the scheme ensures zero average common-mode voltage (CMV) per sampling interval by completely avoiding zero-voltage vectors (ZVVs). The proposed method reduces torque ripple by up to 17% compared to the conventional approach and lowers stator current total harmonic distortion (THD) by 37%, while ensuring evenly distributed switching transitions among inverter legs. This results in reduced switching losses and enhanced drive efficiency-particularly advantageous in EV applications. Experimental validation under the high-speed extra urban driving cycle (EUDC) and low-speed ECE-R15 cycle, including torque ripple and energy consumption analysis, confirms the effectiveness of the approach, achieving an overall efficiency of 83.3%.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"9 3","pages":"352-362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11189077","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145196031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For high-power drives with limited switching frequencies and high-speed drives with large fundamental frequencies, the ratio of switching frequency to fundamental frequency, i.e., the carrier ratio, is usually below 15, which would significantly degrade the control performance.
