Turn-faults create a low impedance short-circuit path within the winding, resulting in large fault currents, creating winding hotspots and an increased rate of insulation degradation. This causes the fault to propagate within the winding, increasing fault severity, until reaching a point of catastrophic failure. Early detection of a turn-fault allows mitigation strategies to be put in place, reducing the amount of damage caused to the machine. As a turn-fault develops from insulation failure, the residual series resistance of the insulation in the short-circuit path reduces; this work considers the impact of a range of short-circuit path resistance values on the ability for a PWM harmonic based turn-fault detection algorithm to operate correctly, determining how far the fault resistance must fall (or conversely, how far the fault-current must rise) in order to be detectable by the algorithm. It is concluded that the algorithm is capable of successfully operating with a fault path resistance around two orders of magnitude (100mΩ) larger than the short circuit path without any additional resistance (1.4mΩ).","PeriodicalId":188371,"journal":{"name":"The 10th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2020)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126619570","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}

In this paper, three different methods for implementing a PI current controller are analyzed and tested. The magnetic characteristics of the tested SynRel are obtained using the FEA and also a state-of-the-art experimental procedure.

The current trajectory in the α-β frame is used to differentiate between the static and dynamic eccentricity. And it also provides information about the alignment of the rotor along with a particular phase in case of static eccentricity.

The literature on the State-of-charge (SoC) estimation of Li-S is readily available. In real-world, battery operated vehicles and equipment need to monitor the electrical energy. This paper focuses on State-of-Eneergy (SoE) estimation of Li-S battery based electric propulsion system. This paper bridges literature gap of the SoE estimation of Li-S battery. While comparing mathematically, the definition of the SoC and SoE batteries are different. Reviewing the SoC estimation, this paper compares the SoC and SoE estimation for same data set. The challenges in Li-S SoC and SoE estimation include battery modelling and time-varying parameters and nonlinear voltage measurement, which has deeply skewed high-plateau and flatted low-plateau characteristics. Modelling Li-S battery as a Thevenins equivalent circuit network (ECN), the battery parameters are estimated using Predict Error Minimization (PEM) approach. For estimate SoC and SoE, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is used. Since the parameters are high sensitive to battery current, the estimators use parameters obtained by polynomial fitting model. A simple switching logic based on SoC-measurement voltage is used to join the high- and low-plateau. The degree of observability analysis is used to investigate the performance of SoE estimation by the EKF. Using experiment test data, simulation results demonstrate the performance of both SoC and SoE estimators. Results show that the SoE estimation is as close to the SoC estimation.","PeriodicalId":188371,"journal":{"name":"The 10th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2020)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125205115","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}

Hence, the contactless speed/torque transmission leads to improvements in terms of efficiency and reliability, due to the absence of wear out between moving parts. For a specific application, the most appropriate magnetic coupling configuration (i.e. axial or coaxial) is usually identified through a trade-off study. In this paper, a comparative analysis between axial and coaxial magnetic couplings is presented using a two-dimensional subdomain approach. Based on a full-parametric geometry, two 2D analytical tools are developed for each magnetic coupling configuration. These analytical tools are validated against finite element results in order to prove their effectiveness. Finally, the implemented models are used to investigate the impact of parameters, such as permanent magnet span, airgap thickness and number of pole-pairs, on the maximum static torque.","PeriodicalId":188371,"journal":{"name":"The 10th International Conference on Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD 2020)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133405667","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 technology offers significant levelized cost of energy reductions via capital expenditure and operating expense savings - a crucial objective for the offshore industry. The direct-drive (DD) PMG technology uses ferrite magnets to create the magnetic field, which is a significant source of cost reduction. The use of ferrite could also eliminate an industry wide reliance on neodymium iron boron, the scarce and expensive rare-earth magnet used in existing designs. Another benefit of using ferrite-based design is that it is less sensitive to the cooling problems that currently face existing DD-PMGs. Further technical advantages come in the form of magnetically balanced axial design, optimized magnet and aluminium/copper ratio, insensitivity to air gap and cogging elimination.
