It is noted that VSGs can provide virtual inertia for frequency support, but the larger inertia would worsen the synchronization stability, referring to keeping synchronization with the grid during voltage dips. Thus, this paper presents a transient damping method of VSGs for enhancing the synchronization stability during voltage dips. It is revealed that the loss of synchronization (LOS) of VSGs always accompanies with the positive frequency deviation and the damping is the key factor to remove LOS when the equilibrium point exists. In order to enhance synchronization stability during voltage dips, the transient damping is proposed, which is generated by the frequency deviation in active power loop. Additionally, the proposed method can realize seamless switching between normal state and grid fault. Moreover, detailed control design for transient damping gain is given to ensure the synchronization stability under different inertia requirements during voltage dips. Finally, the experimental results are presented to validate the analysis and the effectiveness of the improved transient damping method.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10579824","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141495287","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}

It firstly establishes an accurate subdomain model of DFIGs to analytically predict performance indexes. Furthermore, taking the inexpensive analytical dataset produced by the subdomain model as the source domain and the expensive finite element analysis dataset as the target domain, a high-precision surrogate model is trained in a transfer learning way and used for the subsequent multi-objective optimization process. Based on this model, taking the total harmonic distortion of electromotive force, cogging torque, and iron loss as objectives, and the slot and inner/outer diameters as parameters for optimizing the topology, achieve a rapid and accurate electromagnetic design for DFIGs.

In emergency self-propelled mode, however, the dc-link voltage and the traction power of the motor are significantly reduced, resulting in decreased traction efficiency due to the low load and low speed operations. Aiming to tackle this problem, a novel efficiency improved control method is introduced to the emergency mode of high-speed train traction system in this paper. In the proposed method, a total loss model of induction motor considering the behaviors of both iron and copper loss is established. An improved iterative algorithm with decreased computational burden is then introduced, resulting in a fast solving of the optimal flux reference for loss minimization at each control period. In addition, considering the parameter variation problem due to the low load and low speed operations, a parameter estimation method is integrated to improve the controller's robustness. The effectiveness of the proposed method on efficiency improvement at low voltage and low load conditions is demonstrated by simulated and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":100229,"journal":{"name":"CES Transactions on Electrical Machines and Systems","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10545326","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141495326","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 this paper, a simple and cost-effective method to improve the starting performance of a commercial squirrel-cage induction motor (SCIM) is proposed. The influence of geometric parameters of the end-ring on the performance characteristics, including starting (locked rotor) torque, pull-up and break down torque, starting current, rotor electric parameters, current density, power losses, and efficiency have been comprehensively investigated. It has been revealed that among the other end-ring design parameters, the ring thickness has a significant effect on the performance characteristics. An optimal end-ring thickness is determined, and its performance characteristics have been compared to those of its initial counterpart.
