The study focuses on two typical topologies of significant industrial relevance, i.e. machines with distributed windings with two slots per pole and phase and motors with concentrated coils and with three slots per pole pair, respectively. The effect of stator winding parallel paths is examined for both cases. Coil and terminal electrical quantities, radial forces, and torque ripple were simulated using FEA. Unbalanced operation, where the currents are not equal in parallel phase connections due to the eccentricity, is also investigated. Experimental measurements of electrical quantities and forces with static eccentricity are carried out with two special test fixtures. The experimental measurements validated the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":161915,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130579726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model incorporates several key nonlinear phenomena including (i) magnetic saturation; (ii) cross-saturation effects between the d- and q-axes affecting both flux linkages and inductances; (iii) stator slotting effects; and (iv) localized effects due to rotor bridges. The MCM is configured to predict the flux densities waveforms in the iron as the rotor rotates. Fourier transformation is then applied to extract the frequency components of the flux density in each iron core permeance element, followed by estimation of the losses in each element. These permeance losses can then be combined to provide the estimated iron losses in the total core. Very good agreement is demonstrated between core loss predictions delivered by this model for a target FSCW-IPM machine and those provided by finite element (FE) analysis.","PeriodicalId":161915,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132899993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fulfilling low voltage ride-through (LVRT) requirements is mandatory to guarantee the stability of the power systems under voltage dips, especially, in scenarios with high penetration of wind energy like Spain, Denmark, Germany, etc. This paper is focused on satisfying LVRT restrictions controlling both active and reactive powers delivered to the grid according to the more relevant grid codes. To achieve these requirements, this work proposes a method where kinetic energy storage in the turbine blades is carried out. DC active crowbar (braking chopper) is added in the converter, and, lastly, pitch angle control is used under long voltage dips. A control scheme, which emphasizes the regulation of the DC-link voltage, is designed and simulated in a Wind Turbine (WT) based on PMSG of 1MW with sensorless control.","PeriodicalId":161915,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130429816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The position sensors such as resolvers or incremental encoders are being replaced by sinusoidal encoders that offer much higher resolution. However, the periodic position errors are generated by the gain and offset errors between sine and cosine signals. In this paper, the effects of the gain and offset errors are analyzed by using dq-axis component. The analog position errors can be easily corrected by integral operation of the d-axis component. Therefore, the proposed algorithm does not need additional hardware and much computation time.

To additionally alleviate current mismatch, a small signal method is applied to derive the relationship between phase shift angle and the transformer current.

In the conventional flyback converter, the turn-off switching loss caused by high switching frequency leads to low conversion efficiency. The proposed lossless snubber scheme not only reduces the voltage spikes at turn-off interval, but also recycles the energy stored in the leakage inductor to the input source for improving conversion efficiency. Considering further simplification, the lossless snubber inductor and the output-voltage sensing winding can be combined together as a single winding. A prototype circuit of the 15W self-oscillating flyback converter with lossless snubber circuit and output-voltage sensing circuit is built to verify the performances, such as the voltage stress on the switch, the conversion efficiency, and the load regulation.","PeriodicalId":161915,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125413969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
