Especially in high volume applications, e.g. traction drives, the SynRM could replace induction machines (IM) by means of significant reduction of the production costs without decreasing the performance of the drive system. However, the inverter control algorithm is getting much more complicated, compared to other machine types. The reason is that the machine is strongly non-linear. In order to optimize the control, an accurate and reliable machine model, based on measurement values, is developed. Furthermore, an optimized control scheme for low voltage battery-fed traction drives, based on the measured machine characteristics, is presented. The traction drive requires a wide speed range and speed variability of the electrical machine. Due to the limited voltage of the battery, the control has to be adaptable to the instantaneous operating point, especially for high speed in the field weakening area. Therefore the Direct Self Control (DSC), originally investigated for the operation of induction machines, is used to control the SynRM drive. Additionally, the control must be able to react to high dynamic speed and load changes without losing stability.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"276 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123412501","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 paper presents ideas and stimuli in relation to meeting the demands for high-scale integration and cost-reducing design measures.

In machines with planar flux paths (2D geometries) the material is laminated to reduce eddy current losses in the core. Manufacturers typically supply reference values from Epstein frame measurements as a material performance specification and an easy way for comparison. However, the magnetic flux path in electrical machines is more complex due to rotating magnetic fields passing through the stator (with or without teeth), the rotor, and the airgap. Therefore, other material characterization methods, such as ring core measurements, are more suitable to characterize the magnetic materials for electrical machines. This paper gives a short introduction on different methods to characterize magnetic materials and a detailed description of building up a measurement system for characterizing ring core samples or electrical machine stator cores. The system is developed with regard to the IEC standard for measurements on magnetic ring core samples and can easily be build up in any lab with a power amplifier and a standard industrial control system equipped with analog input/output interfaces. Finally, reference measurements demonstrate the performance of the system.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134602235","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}

Dynamic performance of current controllers based on continuous-time models is limited, especially if the ratio of the sampling frequency to the fundamental frequency is low. An exact closed-form hold-equivalent discrete motor model is derived. The zero-order hold of the stator-voltage input is modeled in stationary coordinates, where it physically is. An analytical discrete-time pole-placement design method for a two-degree-of-freedom state-space current controller with an integral action is proposed. The proposed method is easy to apply: only the desired closed-loop bandwidth and the three motor parameters (Rs, Ld, Lq) are required. The robustness of the proposed current control design against parameter errors is analyzed. The controller is experimentally verified using a 6.7-kW SyRM drive.","PeriodicalId":173358,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machines Design, Control and Diagnosis (WEMDCD)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133765475","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}
