Such a reduction is mainly due to the use of lower voltage power switches and the removal of high frequency elevating transformers. In addition to the topological improvements, the adaptation of the control method allowed a significant improvement in the reliability and robustness of the system operation, functioning without interruptions due to partial shading and without overvoltage in the DC bus during startups with extreme conditions of irradiation.","PeriodicalId":375493,"journal":{"name":"2017 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130428435","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 fabrication of these devices can be considered a mature issue as a consequence of several decades of research and developing. Nevertheless, the related cost of the construction of its parts continues to be high. This is particularly true as the commissioning requires previous information like the machine shaft dimensions where these devices are going to be working. Even more, when there is not an automatic tool to mount their windings, this work continues to be manually. With this in mind, the possibility to use conventional induction motors to reduce the cost of active magnetic bearings is presented in this work. Different to the conventional (AMBs), the magnetic fluxes distribution is based in the coupled one structure as found in a four poles conventional AC motor with distributed windings. Through Finite Elements analysis, a two phase and a three phase cases are considered. Experimental results, using the two phase version, validate this approach.","PeriodicalId":375493,"journal":{"name":"2017 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116994432","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 studied charger adds few components to the already existing power electronics employed for propulsion. By connecting the single-phase mains to the traction inverter, only two mechanical switches or solid state relays are necessary to configure the same converter to operate as a battery charger. The proposed operation mode for this IBC reduce and distribute the inverter losses during charging operation mode. Furthermore, a machine analysis is presented to characterize the machine behavior considering the single-phase input current flowing through the three-phase traction motor. Although the IBC is best suited for an induction motor (IM) application, an analysis of the feasibility of using a permanent magnet (PM) motor is realized. Simulation results are presented which validates the functionality of the proposed charger operation.","PeriodicalId":375493,"journal":{"name":"2017 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128287340","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}

Then, methods for representing high-frequency switches were studied, which are based on representations of switching states such as inductors and RC-series branches. This type of representation allowed the admittance matrix that represents the system remained constant throughout the simulation, resulting in the reduction of computational effort and consequently on the use of small steps of calculation.
