This paper describes the efficiency improvement of the magnetic-geared motor by both increasing torque and reducing losses. The improved geared-motor demonstrates that the efficiency is improved remarkably. Furthermore, feasibility for applying to walking support machines is studied.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129170236","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 electromagnetic performance such as back-EMF, on-load torque, PM eddy current losses and dynamic characteristics are compared using 2D finite element analysis. In addition, the 3D thermal models including end-windings and end plates are established to predict the temperature variations in different machines. Then the demagnetization withstand capabilities of different CPMs are analysed by taking into account the temperature influence on magnet working point. It is found that the CPMs with IPM rotors have much better demagnetization withstand capabilities compared with their SPM counterparts.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129881847","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}

Inter-turn faults are for that matter often the origin of more severe faults, which can lead to complete system failures. Particularly, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) have significant drawbacks in terms of fault tolerant operation. In comparison, six-phase PMSMs are more complex to analyze and to operate, but for this reason, also offer greater possibilities for the control scheme during fault. This paper presents the first analytical machine model to investigate the behavior of six-phase PMSMs with stator winding faults on turn level. In order to keep the model compact, the levels of abstraction vary within the stator winding circuit. The machine model is acausally implemented, which allows the simulation with current sources and current controlled voltage sources. The simulation results of the presented model are compared with the simulation results of an equivalent finite element analysis model. The average torque differs between the two models in case of an inter-turn fault at nominal load operation by 0.3 %, the amplitude of the fault current differs by 3.3 % and the frequency spectra of the voltages show equal characteristics, while the computation time is 200 times faster with the analytical model. We use the developed model for the analysis of the machine behavior under stator winding faults relevant in practice. With the machine analysis's outcome, we are able to develop a more sophisticated fault management system, which enhances fault tolerant operation in comparison with three-phase PMSMs.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116946781","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 high frequency injection (HFI) based technique can detect enhanced or diminished self-sensing ability under intentional magnetic saturation. Inductive saliency based self-sensing depend on the difference between d-axis and q-axis incremental inductance of the machine where the dq-axes inductive saliency is operating point dependent property. Prior researches showed the machine non-linear characteristic consideration under magnetic saturation is one of the key factors for successful self-sensing control. Incremental dq-inductance variations under flux-weakening and flux-intensifying operation are estimated. A system level self-sensing ability can be achieved since the incremental dq-inductance are estimated in the exactly the same HFI based self-sensing environment, i.e., the inverter, the current sensor resolution, the demodulation technique for differential carrier current, and the injected carrier frequency and amplitude.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124945549","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}

This paper proposes an experimental method to measure the torque-ripple of the synchronous reluctance machine at static conditions. The proposed method is used to study the torque-ripple of two similarly sized synchronous reluctance machines. Experimental results are presented for the torque-ripple at various operating conditions including extended speed region. It is found that the percentage torque-ripple for SynRMs increases in the extended speed region. The effects of torque-ripple in this region is experimentally studied, and it is found that the torque-ripple places a limit on the torque-speed range of the motor.","PeriodicalId":378634,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125759532","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}
