Also, the voltage and current limits are depicted in the plane of (λd, λq). Then the voltage limits appear as circles centered at the origin, whereas the current limit appear as an ellipse. In the field weakening region, the voltage is utilized to the maximum. Hence, the only thing allowed to change in the field weakening region is the angle of the voltage so as to accommodate changes in speed and torque. In the flux setting, the voltage angle can be determined by an intersection point between the voltage circle and a torque line. That solution will be the copper loss minimizing point. However, it requires to solve a four order polynomial equation. In this work, a Taylor series approximation method is utilized to circumvent the difficulty of solving the fourth order equation. Desired performances were demonstrated by some experimental results.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"33 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":"124269894","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 performance of any control algorithm is directly dependent on the accuracy of the parameters. Saturation and cross-saturation of permanent magnet synchronous machines are well recognized phenomena. Developing a controller utilizing either a two-dimensional look-up table or linear approximation of the machine parameters generated from characterization data will include the effects of saturation and cross-saturation and thereby achieve the desired performance. Both the look-up table and curve-fitting methods are implemented on a microcontroller. A 125kW IPMSM drive is used to experimentally evaluate both methods. The work presented here demonstrates that both the look-up table and curve-fitting methods provide satisfactory performance over the entire operating range. A comparison of the complexity of implementing both methods is included.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"82 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":"131480335","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 primary goal is to harvest the regenerative energy produced by downward running escalator and share the energy with the upward running escalator. Thus the system energy consumption is reduced. The energy sharing is realized by inter-connecting the DC buses of two adjustable speed drives. An isolated bi-directional dc/dc converter, or dual active bridge converter, is adopted to transfer the energy from one drive to another. This approach has better fault protection capability as compared with direct connecting the two dc buses. A voltage hysteresis control method is introduced to control the dual escalator system. The design concept and control method have been validated by Matlab/Simulink simulation.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"69 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":"130539350","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}

With the help of an efficient optimization methodology and tool, the optimizations against New European Drive cycle (NEDC), Artemis Urban Drive Cycle (Artemis), and the NEDC/Artemis combined cycle are carried out using Finite Element (FE) based technique. It is shown that for a surface mounted permanent magnet machine studied in the paper, the optimization results against the NEDC and Artemis exhibit distinct characteristics in terms of torque, speed, and energy loss distributions. Thus optimization trends for leading machine design parameters such as split ratio, stator tooth width, turn number per coil and magnet usage to minimize total loss for NEDC and Artemis are very different. For NEDC, the optimum design inclines to reduce high-speed copper loss and iron loss; for Artemis, it tries to minimize low-speed copper loss. Comparing the three optimized motors targeting different driving cycles, it is observed that they all have very high efficiency over a wide toque-speed range, and perform the best in their own target cycle, and with around 0.5% lower efficiency, or 10% higher loss in the other cycles with respect to the optimum values. Compared to the motor optimized for Artemis, the motors optimized against NEDC and the combined cycle result in close to 20% less magnets and less copper usage, making NEDC or the combined driving cycle a preferred optimization target.","PeriodicalId":199452,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"102 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":"124698410","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}
