High performance and low-cost electric machines are desirable in mass production of EVs. Well-known for its economical control and global dominance of machine manufacture, China must now focus on quality control of the new generation of EV motors to prepare for the uptake of the EV market. This paper proposes a quality control approach to minimize variability of EV electric machine performance. The methodology of Six-Sigma DMADV is introduced into the quality control approach, the key of which is to control the geometrical tolerances of the machine parameters as the performance of a machine is fundamentally determined by its physical geometry. Due to a large number of tolerances need to be considered simultaneously as they are coupled with each other, “trial and error” or “one factor at a time (OFAT)” are not applicable in the quality control study. It is proposed to use design of experiment (DOE) method, which provides credible prediction and substantially reduces trial samples and computation time. The DOE assisted Six Sigma DMADV method is thoroughly discussed in the paper and validated at the end by a prototype of low-cost internal permanent magnet (IPM) machine with ferrite permanent magnets.","PeriodicalId":223569,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Power Electronics Systems and Applications - Smart Mobility, Power Transfer & Security (PESA)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127189562","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 bulky electrolytic capacitors are required to balance the pulsating power difference, thus restricting the driver lifetime. However, the existing LED drivers using pulse frequency modulation (PFM) is bound to arouse heavy electromagnetic interference(EMI). In this paper, a series resonant converter (SRC) is proposed to eliminate the low frequency ripple. Meanwhile, the switching controlled capacitor (SCC) is used to replace the resonant capacitor to achieve full range operation with constant switching frequency. Half-bridge switches are shared by integrating the bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit and the power control (PC), so as to realize the single-stage drive. Furthermore, the SCC is shared by the outputs of upper and lower half-bridge, which reduces the volume. All the superior performance of proposed LED driver is verified by simulation with 2-channel LEDs, rated output power of 100W.","PeriodicalId":223569,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Power Electronics Systems and Applications - Smart Mobility, Power Transfer & Security (PESA)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133094798","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}

Experimental results indicate the control strategy makes the error of reference input of each motor go down continuously. Under the condition of strong asynchronous reference input disturbance, the dynamic error value between the motors can be controlled within ± 1.5mm, which shows that this strategy can improve the position control accuracy as well as fault-tolerant ability, and weaken the distributed system reference input between the asynchronous effectively.","PeriodicalId":223569,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Power Electronics Systems and Applications - Smart Mobility, Power Transfer & Security (PESA)","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133293023","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 simulation results indicate that the structure with rib of outer yoke extending outwardly has great influence on motor performance and reveal the rule that the larger the excitation, the more obvious the attenuation effect is.

In a power electronic circuit, passive components consist of parasitic resistance, inductance, and capacitance which limit the performance of the converter. For an example, the parasitic inductance of wire could cause resonance and distortion of the gate drive signal. As a result, the performance and efficiency of the power converter would be significantly deteriorated. To remove these unwanted parasitic elements in a power electronic circuit, we propose a new concept of negative impedance method. A study of the properties and connections of negative impedance are presented. Two examples are given to illustrate the practical applications. The improvement on the circuit performance with negative impedance is experimentally demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":223569,"journal":{"name":"2017 7th International Conference on Power Electronics Systems and Applications - Smart Mobility, Power Transfer & Security (PESA)","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122003533","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}

Although the electric car technology is ready for practical usage, charging problems appeared to slow down the transformation from traditional car to electric car. This paper is going to investigate charger to electric car ratio and strategy. The charging problem on BEV development by different countries such as the US, the UK and China will be illustrated as examples.

Taking the thrust force command as the control signal, the stable adaptive controller is designed based on the concept of positive realness.
