The control strategy is based on an input-output feedback linearization which ensures high performance speed control while minimizing the losses. Among all the losses, copper and iron losses can be precisely controlled and minimized by an optimal control of the d-axis stator current (id). The proposed LMC is developed based on motor model to produce optimum id for loss minimization. The global stability of the proposed drive system is verified through a Lyapunov's stability analysis. Also, a novel observer is applied to estimate the permanent magnet flux linkage (Ψ) online. The performance of the proposed nonlinear speed and LMC is demonstrated in simulation at different operating conditions. A performance comparison of the proposed LMC control scheme with the conventional control scheme is also provided.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"136 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":"123190458","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 is a field where system reliability is a key concern. The scheme is able to extract the effective inductance and back-emf of the machine's phases simultaneously from measurements of the current ripple present on the power electronic converter. These measurements can then be used to estimate position. An enhancement to the scheme in the presence of spatially-varying mutual inductance between phases allows more accurate and reliable tracking from inductance-based measurements than would otherwise be expected. This scheme is able to operate at any speed including, critically, when stationary. Experimental results show promise for the scheme, although some work to reduce the level of noise would be desirable.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"64 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":"114344774","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}

For this vehicle powertrain application the permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) is a very popular choice, because of high power density, a high efficiency and the small package. However, this machine is susceptible to suffer insulations failures of coils and demagnetization of magnets under severe thermal condition. Therefore, it is important to have an efficient cooling for the PMSM to generate high heat dissipation. The configuration of a new cooling method is presented in this paper. The new cooling approach is based on a vortex tube that generates a -40 °C air stream. Also a simulation is done to give an outlook on the possibilities of the new cooling method. To make the simulation very accurate and comprehensive a finite volume Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model is applied. This is a useful tool to analyze the cooling flow in a traction motor with regard to fluid velocity, flow quantity and pressure drop.","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":"126525949","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 first model corresponds to a classic nodal method, with a fine meshing of the machine. The second is made of a network of thermal resistors and capacitors set up using the T-nodal method with a crude meshing. This approach is quite popular as the computation time is quite short.

Over-rated marine currents occur at large spring tides or under strong sea states; in these cases maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategies must be changed to power limitation strategies for limiting the generator power at rated value. In this paper, two power limitation strategies with flux-weakening control are investigated. A feedback flux-weakening control is applied to extend the rotor speed operating range over the nominal MPPT tracking speed during high speed marine currents. In the speed control strategy, the turbine power characteristics are used to generate the rotor speed reference and the power limitation can be obtained at steady-state. In the torque control strategy, the generator torque is directly calculated by the power limitation and the rotor speed; this method enables to control the generator power at the limited value at dynamic process. Both strategies are investigated and compared at high tidal speeds without and with swell effect.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"32 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":"130989433","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 two questions underlying this analysis are: which is the geometry that can potentially give the machine with the highest torque to volume ratio? Which is the geometry with the best compromise between number of input parameters (i.e. computational time) and performance?
