Lumped parameter and finite element analyses can be used to model thermal stress, but both have drawbacks in applications where fast estimates of local temperature distributions are necessary. To overcome this, a closed-form solution for the steady-state stator temperature distribution over one slot pitch in a radial air gap electric machine is presented. Machine symmetry and material thermal properties are used to create a representative layer model in which a solution to Laplace's equation is developed. In addition to lumped parameter and three-dimensional (3D) finite element models, the method is verified through experimental results. Analytical model winding temperature predictions are within about 2.5% of finite element model predictions. Estimates of stator slot, tooth, and end-winding temperatures are within 7% of experimental measurements. The results are shown to have value for parametric machine design and protection.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134174665","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}

Using rotor position and flux linkages as inputs from the system simulator and interpolating the flux linkage map, the phase currents of the synchronous machine are determined. In the system simulation, the phase currents are modeled as dependent current sources. This technique allows for the modeling of space and time harmonics, saturation, and cogging torque within the system simulator without directly coupling the finite element solver.

The mutual inductances between a rotor, containing barriers and iron bridges near the magnets, and a stator with concentric windings are computed. As the iron bridges near the magnets are in saturation due to the high magnetic field of the magnets, the assumption is made to represent the rotor in different parts. Each part has a high permeability, and is separated by a layer of low permeable material, i.e. the magnets, the saturated bridges and the barriers. The magnetic coupling is described, and the different computation methods to obtain mutual inductance values are given. Using finite element methods (FEM) the WFT-resulting inductances are verified.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125005774","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 nine-phase inverter and induction machine are fully integrated into the charging process. The proposed integrated on-board battery charger has an advantage of unity power factor operation with no torque production in the machine during the charging mode. Moreover, there is no need for any hardware reconfiguration between the charging and propulsion mode. The principle of the charging mode operation is based on the additional degrees of freedom that exist in nine-phase machines and that can be conveniently utilized to achieve charging through the machine's stator windings with zero electromagnetic torque. Detailed theoretical analysis is reported for asymmetrical and symmetrical nine-phase systems. For both systems control in the charging mode is discussed, and the theoretical considerations are validated by simulations.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125534310","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 motor and drive connection through a long feeder usually causes over voltage problems due to the travelling wave phenomenon, hence, filter networks on motor or inverter terminals are mandatory. The so-called boost-inverter intrinsically solves this problem as it offers a direct sinusoidal output voltage with voltage boosting capability. Hence, the conventional boosting stage and the filters can be dispensed with. This paper investigates the performance of a five-phase modular winding induction machine fed from a boost-inverter through a long feeder. The possible automated winding of a five-phase modular induction machine has stimulated its worthiness as an alternative to the conventional manually wound machines typically used in such applications. A simulation study using a 1000Hp system and experimental investigation on a 1Hp prototype machine are used to support the presented theory.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129533150","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}

Growing demands on efficiency lead to higher wear of the drive systems and the risk of breakdowns. Unexpected outages of the drive system lead to high economic and/or safety losses. Detecting faults in an early stage helps increase the reliability and reduce the risk of breakdown. Beside short-circuit faults, open-circuit faults count to the most frequent reasons for the breakdown of the winding system. Starting with a crack or cross section deformation of the stator winding conductors the open-circuit fault induces an increased resistance in the corresponding phase. Detecting such small resistance changes provides the possibility to react timely on the developing fault. In this paper a method is presented to detect incipient open-circuit faults in the stator windings of an inverter fed drive. The method gets along with the hardware already present in modern drives, no additional sensors are required. By Applying voltage steps to the machine terminals and measuring the resulting current the phasor resistance can be estimated. By spatially combining the phase measurements of the resistance a phasor of the resistance symmetry can be introduced. With this phasor a high sensitive fault indicator is generated able to detect fault severity and position. Measurements on a laboratory test stand for different fault configurations prove the applicability and accuracy of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128903501","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 the past, many companies replaced induction machines (IMs) by permanent magnet excited synchronous machines (PMSMs). This lead to a considerable increase of the efficiency, but due to the fluctuating price of the permanent magnets, especially of Neodymium-Iron-Boron(NdFeB)-magnets, the cost of PMSMs is hardly predictable. Therefore, many manufacturers are investigating in synchronous reluctance machines (SyncRM) now. In this article, the motor design for standardized rated power Prate = 3kW and nominal synchronous speed of nrate = 1500rpm is taken into consideration. Different motor topologies are analyzed regarding the trade-off between efficiency and material costs, including PMSMs and SyncRMs. This is done for two different cost scenarios. Finally, the cheapest designs that fulfill the IE-2 and IE-3 requirements, respectively, can be determined.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117226048","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}
