The ISA has a twofold task: starting-up the engine and generating electrical energy to be stored into a battery. This paper is focused on the first task. Two different motor are taken into account: an external rotor SPM machine and an IPM machine. For the control drive both the rotor configuration require the knowledge of their rotor position, then a sensorless technique based on the high frequency voltage injection for rotor position detection has been implemented. In order to create a high frequency anisotropy in the SPM rotor configuration, a ringed- pole solution has been adopted. Experimental tests have highlighted that the first machine has a good performance starting up the engine with a good speed and position estimation in spite of the particular no constant load. As regard the IPM machine, with this machine the sensorless engine start-up is not possible because at high current the anisotropy disappear a cause of saturation effects.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"18 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":"127817539","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}

A complete characterization is carried out to determine the machine fluxes for any given current. The fluxes are then used to calculate the nominal controller. A controller is then calculated for each of four sets of flux linkage data with a small flux error introduced; this is to account for small parametric error. An algorithm using airgap power and voltage is used to select a lookup table which reduces error in developed torque. Sensitivity is then used to determine the effectiveness of the proposed controller. From this, the proposed controller leads to reduced torque error and reduced sensitivity of the torque to flux error. Actual characterization data from a 10kW IPM machine is used to develop all controllers and simulations. The nominal and proposed controller is then applied to the actual IPM machine to validate the proposed controller.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"52 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":"127882708","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 grid voltage distortion is composed of multiple harmonic components and in this paper it will be elucidated that, due to the synchronous operation, a specific interaction of rotor harmonic currents induced by different stator harmonic orders can be noticed. Although straight forward adaptation of harmonic loss mechanisms for standard squirrel cage induction motors to the LSPMM seems logic, this research will reveal that harmonic loss models of induction machines are unsuitable to give accurate or even reasonable estimations of the influence supply voltage distortion on the energy efficiency of LSPMM.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"11 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":"126736428","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}

These criteria are theoretical and experimentally analyzed. A 4 kW three-phase induction motor was used in the study. The paper suggests that the positive sequence voltage must be considered together with the Voltage Unbalance Factor VUF (or Percent Voltage Unbalance PVU) index for derating purposes.
