Frequently, such as in the study of induction motor steady-state performance at rated slip, it is useful to estimate the slot leakage inductance of these conductors under the hypothesis of no eddy currents and no magnetic saturation. This is usually done through simple approximated analytical formulas available in the literature. In this paper, an improved explicit ready-to-use leakage inductance expression for circular bars embedded in semi-closed slots is derived by solving Poisson's equation in the slot domain. The precision of the proposed formulation is assessed against Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for various slot geometries and is shown to always give very accurate results, with errors below 2%. Conversely, approximated simplified formulas available from the literature are demonstrated to possibly give large errors, which exceed 20% for some explored slot geometries.","PeriodicalId":365573,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123395925","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 new three-phase voltage source inverter topology is proposed in this paper. The topology employs two switches on the DC link. A forced zero state (FZS) can be obtained when the DC-link switches are turned off. With the proposed topology, FZS space vector PWM (FZS-SVPWM) and FZS discontinuous PWM (FZS-DPWM) can be derived from conventional SVPWM and DPWM, respectively. The FZS-SVPWM and FZS-DPWM methods are effective in the CMV reduction aspect, whilst have the advantage of lower current ripple and acoustic noise than the existing reduced CMV PWM methods. Moreover, an FZS optimized PWM (FZSOPWM) is also proposed to improve performance. Simulation and experiment results validate the CMV and common mode current (CMC) reduction effect as well as the acoustic noise performance. The proposed topology is effective when both the low CMV/CMC and the low current ripple or acoustic noise are highly required.","PeriodicalId":365573,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"16 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115918044","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}

Electricity generation by solar energy is considered as one of the alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar chimneys mechanism is based on a natural phenomenon. In this process the solar energy heat up the earth's surface and the surrounding air. Due to the density difference between cold air and warm air, heated air ascends and causes air circulation. In this study, mathematical modelling of solar chimney and governing equations of this system will be discussed. In order to validate the numerical results, upwind velocity in chimney has been compared with a reliable reference results. As well as, the optimized geometry of chimney has been investigated.

Also, the influence of the slot shape on the machine performance has been investigated. It is found that higher torque can be obtained with parallel slot opening compared to radial slot opening. Furthermore, the effect of rotor iron piece shapes on the machine cogging torque is examined. It is shown that the machine torque ripple can be significantly reduced when the rotor iron piece edges are changed to be rounded border instead of flat shape. Moreover, a comparison between the initial and optimized machines has been carried out.

The strong and reliable magnetic fields of today's rare-earth permanent magnets increase their force density. Most of them are based on the interaction between the magnetic field of permanent magnets and current-carrying coils. However, magnetic couplings or electromagnetic vibration isolation systems rely on the strong and position-dependent passive force between permanent magnets instead of an active force resulting from a current. An accurate, noise-free computational description of these interactions is therefore essential for future developments of these high-performance devices. The considered configurations are free-space unbounded problems and do not exhibit structural periodicity. As a three-dimensional magnetic field solution is required, the analytical surface charge method is the model of choice. The expressions for the interaction force between PMs with an (anti-)parallel, perpendicular, and rotated magnetization are derived considering a configuration with two PMs. These could be extended to include various other electromagnetic device structures. Further, the developments in the analytical surface charge expressions of the interaction forces between cuboidal permanent magnets are addressed. Finally, extensions to the surface charge method are proposed, aiming to create a fully 6-DoF permanent magnet interaction model, which can serve as a fast, analytical replacement to the finite element method.","PeriodicalId":365573,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128602688","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}

All kinds of LMs are studied: synchronous, induction, flux switching. Research is leading to overcome the known drawbacks of all these machines. Anyway the use of innovative direct-drive solutions are under study to obtain more efficient energy conversion, such as for marine field. As alternative to classical systems, linear force can be used to obtain a more efficient plant. Hydraulic drives used on board ship to empower rudders, stabilizing fins, anchor winches, etc., are often characterized by low efficiencies, heavy maintenance, frequent oil leaks and large weight and size. To overcome these drawbacks, an oil-free inverter-fed alternative drives can be conceived. In this paper a concept design of full-scale permanent magnet linear synchronous motor directly coupled to a twin rudder on board ship is presented, used as a servo-motor. A complete model of the electro-mechanic-hydraulic system in Simulink environment was built. Several simulations are performed to evaluate the servo-assistance capabilities. The results show the effectiveness of the electromagnetic drive servo-assistance and an increased overall efficiency of the steering gear.

These performance could not be accessed without a convenient selection of the slot-pole combinaisons. Within this background, the paper deals with a FEA-based investigation of the torque production capability exhibited by two topologies of fractional slot surface-mounted PM machines sharing the same number of slots in the stator while they differ by the number of poles in the rotor.
