Due to the high complexity and invasiveness of direct measurement, as well as its impossibility in certain applications, empirical relationships are commonly used to estimate SLL. This paper introduces a novel model for estimating SLL in low-voltage, three-phase IMs using data from 425 simulated IMs in MATLAB, covering 380 V, 50 Hz IMs with different pole numbers and power ratings from 0.37 to 400 kW. SLL values were computed according to method B in the IEEE 112 standard. The novelty of this research lies in, for the first time, employing a multilayer perceptron neural network as a non-intrusive machine learning (ML) approach to estimate SLL using IM nameplate data, input power, and total harmonic distortion (THD). The developed model exhibits a strong correlation with simulated data, enabling accurate predictions under diverse operating conditions without requiring physical access to motor internals. Its effectiveness was confirmed through simulations and experimental validation, highlighting its potential as a precise and fully non-invasive method for estimating SLL in IMs.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"10 3","pages":"305-316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11717667","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149078820","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}

This paper first clarifies through analysis that the acceleration error and jerk error in the constant-coefficient sliding surface are the core causes of this overshoot phenomenon, both of which will generate accelerating current during deceleration. To address this issue, a Gaussian dynamic gain sliding mode control (GDG-SMC) strategy is proposed. By designing a sliding surface with GDG, the proposed strategy increases the proportion of the velocity error and the reaching law component in the q-axis current during deceleration, thereby generating braking current to suppress overshoot. Coupled with an anti-windup super-twisting reaching law to mitigate the overshoot potentially induced by the integral term, the proposed method can further reduce the position response error and realize fast overshoot-free position tracking. Comparative experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"10 3","pages":"317-328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11717665","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149078797","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 two-phase flow characteristics are important parameters of the evaporative cooling system, and it is urgent to research the two-phase flow characteristics under rotating conditions. In this paper, based on the self-developed experimental platform of pipe-cooled cooling evaporative cooling system for a rotor, a real-time image acquisition system is established. Experiments are conducted under different thermal loads and centrifugal accelerations, and two-phase flow images of the gas outlet section of the system are collected to analyze the characteristics and patterns of two-phase flow. The results show that under the action of a strong centrifugal force field, the two-phase flow in the pipe-cooled cooling evaporative cooling system for a rotor is more turbulent and complex. Bubbles are more likely to break up and form a dispersed flow. Increasing the thermal load can reduce the instability of the two-phase flow in the system, while increasing the centrifugal acceleration can raise the system pressure and exacerbate the instability of the two-phase flow in the system.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"10 3","pages":"295-304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11717669","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149078779","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}

In practical AMB systems, synchronous vibration is a major vibration source, and its suppression requires accurate rotational speed and phase information without an additional speed sensor. However, conventional synchronous-reference-frame (SRF)-based observation and compensation methods are sensitive to amplitude mismatch, phase nonorthogonality, direct current (DC) offsets, and harmonic contamination, while insufficient sequence separation further degrades speed observation and vibration suppression. To address these issues, this paper proposes a sensorless synchronous vibration suppression method based on a multiple-complex coefficient-filter-based phase-locked loop (MCCF-PLL) and positive-negative-sequence SRF-PI control. The MCCF-PLL extracts the fundamental positive-sequence current component for robust speed and phase observation, while the displacement error is decomposed into positive- and negative-sequence components and regulated by corresponding SRF-PI compensators. The compensation angles are designed using sequence-domain dynamic compliance analysis and updated online during variable-speed operation. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method under non-ideal signal conditions. Experimental results demonstrate improved speed-observation performance at 3000 r/min, effective vibration suppression at 1800 and 3600 r/min, and the ability to maintain effective suppression during the run-up from 900 to 3900 r/min and the run-down from 3900 to 900 r/min. These results confirm its feasibility for practical AMB systems.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"10 3","pages":"329-342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11717682","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149078801","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}

This paper develops a compact physics-informed neural network (PINN), whose implicit secant-inductance architecture enforces the zero-flux condition and dq-axis parity symmetries by construction. Its training objective combines flux-fitting mean-square error, Maxwell reciprocity, and two axis-wise discrete voltage-equation residuals. Pairwise projecting conflicting gradient (PCGrad) removes conflicting gradient components among these four weighted objectives before parameter update. Following current-injection prealignment, self- and cross-saturation data are acquired by standstill hysteresis voltage injection without mechanical rotor locking or continuous position feedback. The dynamometer-derived constant-speed flux map is excluded from gradient training and serves only as a common external benchmark. Experiments on a 0.55 kW SynRM yield a three-seed average benchmark mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.01248±0.00254 Wb, the lowest among the evaluated neural and function-fitting models. For the complete multi-physics objective, PCGrad reduces the average benchmark MAE by 17.4% relative to direct gradient summation. Ablation studies verify the complementary contributions of reciprocity, the discrete voltage equation, and gradient projection. The resulting direct current-to-flux mapping provides a compact and physically consistent magnetic model for model-based motor-control applications.

Among various GFM schemes, matching-controlled (MC) GFM inverters, while offering inherent energy-consistent synchronization, exhibit strong sensitivity to DC-link voltage variations due to their power-synchronization mechanism. This leads to performance degradation, especially when parameters are tuned solely seen from an alternating current (AC)-side perspective, particularly under varying grid strengths or constrained DC sources. Although prior studies have analyzed the behavior of MC inverters through modeling and stability assessment, a systematic and quantitatively grounded parameter design that explicitly accounts for DC-side dynamics remains unexplored. To address this, a DC-dynamic-aware parameter design is proposed for MC-based GFM inverters. A large-signal model is established to capture AC- and DC-coupled dynamics and identify instability mechanisms during transient events. Parameter selection criteria for strong and weak grids are then derived by revealing how dominant constraints shift between the DC and AC sides. More importantly, a parameter-tuning method is proposed by combining steady-state power-limit boundaries with a constraint-aware region-of-attraction transient assessment. The effectiveness of the proposed design is verified by hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experimental tests under strong-and weak-grid conditions, and the robustness of the selected parameter against variations in DC response time and DC-link capacitance is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":"10 3","pages":"272-283"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11717661","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149078817","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 maximize torque capability while suppressing torque ripple, a multi-objective optimization framework is implemented to determine the optimal split-tooth geometries and pole-slot configurations. The electromagnetic characteristics-including air-gap magnetic flux density, self-inductance, and power factor-are analytically formulated and subsequently validated through finite element analysis (FEA). To verify the proposed design, a prototype was fabricated and benchmarked against a commercial 42-pole 36-slot (42p36s) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with the same overall dimensions and electrical loading. Experimental results, encompassing back electromotive force (back-EMF), static/instantaneous torque, and efficiency, demonstrate that the proposed PMVM achieves a 24.2% increase in torque density and a 6.6% reduction in torque ripple compared to the benchmark PMSM.
