Consequently, fast and accurate models which predict their behaviour are highly required. Eddy current effects, which, due to the existence of slots, are present even at no-load conditions, impose long solving time for finite element models (FEM). As an alternative, this paper presents a harmonic model (HM) for the calculation of no-load magnetic field in high-speed slotted permanent magnet machines. Beside having inherently shorter solving time than FEM, HM proposed in this paper brings additional reduction in the model size and solving time. This is achieved by identifying harmonic components which actually contribute to the electromagnetic field. Components which make no contribution, but are present in the generic field solution, are eliminated from the model.","PeriodicalId":166751,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifteenth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122190885","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}

Typically, in practical applications an RPVEH is used for supplying DC loads and, for this reason, a power electronics AC/DC interface is placed between the RPVEH and the DC load. Two architectures are the most exploited ones for the AC/DC conversion in RPVEH applications. The first one is based on the use of a passive AC/DC diode bridge rectifier. Such type of architecture needs a monodimensional Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm for maximizing the extraction of power. The second possibility is represented by a single active AC/DC stage based on a bidirectional active bridge rectifier. In this case, for the maximum power extraction, a multidimensional MPPT algorithm is needed with a not negligible increase in the overall system complexity. On the basis of the above considerations, from the designer point of view, the correct choice of the most suitable AC/DC interface is of utmost importance. Such a choice must take into account the system complexity (that is strictly linked to both power stage and control circuitry losses) and requires a correct quantification of the increase of power obtainable with an active AC/DC interface with respect to a passive one. This paper is focused just on such an aspect. In particular, the increase of power that can be obtained by using an active AC/DC converter is theoretically demonstrated and quantified as a function of the main RPVEH characteristics. Moreover, such a theoretical analysis is also experimentally validated.","PeriodicalId":166751,"journal":{"name":"2020 Fifteenth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies (EVER)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115943577","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}
