In order to increase the output torque, a stator permanent magnet spherical motor based on flux switching is proposed. Firstly, the principle of flux switching is introduced. The basic structure of the new motor is preliminarily designed, and the motion mechanism is analysed for spin motion and tilt motion respectively. Then the minimum model of a novel motor is established in ANSYS by using the virtual displacement method. The key parameters such as the ratio of stator pole tooth to permanent magnet size, different stator pole tooth end structures, different pole tooth surface shapes, different pole sizes, permanent magnet thickness, different magnetisation methods and different ampere-turn numbers are optimised within a reasonable parameter range. The simulation results are analysed and discussed, and the optimal results for each key parameter are thus given. Finally, considering the arrangement of the stator and rotor poles, the rationality of the three-DOF motion was verified by means of two energising strategies, spin motion and tilt motion, verified the reasonableness of the above optimal parameters and thus determined the structural parameters of the new spherical motor to accomplish the three-DOF motion and the maximum torque range. The simulation results show that the electromagnetic torque varies approximately linearly over a range of ampere-turns for the same position of the rotor pole teeth. It provides an opportunity for the M-DOF motor design of a high torque output and power density.","PeriodicalId":38292,"journal":{"name":"EEA - Electrotehnica, Electronica, Automatica","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81168825","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 features of DC arc may be very weak under some conditions. When the current of DC arc is large and the voltage level of photovoltaic array is high, DC arc will be very stable, and it is hard to be detected. Besides, if there are many high-power devices around DC arc detector, the output signal of current sensor will be seriously interfered, and it will be more difficult to distinguish between normal state and arc fault state. DC arc can be divided into unstable combustion stage and stable combustion stage. When in stable combustion stage, DC arc is also hard to be detected. Fortunately, the features of DC arc are obvious when in unstable combustion stage and the value of current spectrum energy will significantly increase. When the spectrum energy exceeds the set threshold in five consecutive time windows, it is preliminarily determined that there is a suspected arc. If the spectrum energy still exceeds the set threshold within five consecutive time windows, it is finally determined that there is an arc fault, otherwise, short PV array for further diagnosis. If there is an arc fault, the fluctuation characteristics of DC arc will be enhanced and the loop current will go fluctuating intensely again, then spectrum energy calculated will exceed the set threshold and an arc fault alarm can be sent out. Taking into consideration the different features of DC arc’s unstable combustion stage and stable combustion stage, a Series DC arc diagnosis method based on current spectrum energy is proposed, which amplifies the fluctuation characteristics of arc current and keeps arc current fluctuating strongly for a long time by shorting the PV array. The spectrum energy is calculated through FFT analysis of each PV string’s current, compared to the calculated spectrum energy with the set threshold, and then decided whether DC arc fault exists. The results to an experimental platform verify the effectiveness of the arc detection method, which has advantages of low calculation cost and high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":38292,"journal":{"name":"EEA - Electrotehnica, Electronica, Automatica","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75198656","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 state space model is constructed by the Moore-Greitzer nonlinear equations. Upstream flow acts as a control loop disorder and the compressor system cannot meet the requirements with flow variance, so it is essential that the controller adapts to the new conditions. Because the control signal is connected to the system output by a nonlinear model, a reset controller is used to control the compressor system. A robust reset controller has designed consistent with the PI + CI method. The robust controller is designed as multi-input-multi-output and uses two throttle control valve and close-coupled valve actuators to apply control signals. Two reset controllers with a harmonious combination in the structure of the compressor system provide the possibility of following the desired pressure and flow states. The proposed controller can stabilize the compressor and increase its efficiency in the event of any disturbance in addition to preventing surge instability. The simulation results show that the reset controller can provide good performance. It is proved that the convergence rate changes with changes in the controller parameters.

Firstly, the physical model of multi-dimensional actuator and its working principle were introduced. At the same time, the motion of the output axis vertex in space was decomposed into three steps, which can make the position relationship between the points more intuitive and convenient for our study. Secondly, the characteristics of Quintic B-spline algorithm were analysed. In this step, the B-spline interpolation function was defined at first, and the basis function of polynomial of degree p was defined according to the relevant information and its characteristics were indicated. Then, we analysed the node sequence parameters. For Quintic B-spline algorithm, when the position sequence of the rotor running track was given, three conditions must be satisfied to uniquely determine the corresponding B-spline function, namely: node vector, control vertex and the degree p of the B-spline curve. On this basis, the boundary constraints and control vertices were solved, which was a very important step. By solving the control vertices of Quintic B-spline curve, a smooth and continuous angular displacement curve can be obtained. The addition of four boundary conditions greatly increases the controllability of the system, making the rotor can start and stop in any way within the constraint conditions, and the connection of each interpolation point is smooth and continuous. The Quintic B-spline algorithm interpolation curve was obtained by simulation based on the time-position sequence of the actuator interpolation points. The results of the interpolation curve verified the effectiveness of the Quintic B-spline algorithm. In addition, three continuous running planning conditions were designed for the same interpolation sequence of the rotor to verify the controllability of the algorithm to the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the rotor during operation. The simulation results show that the Quintic B-spline algorithm has strong controllability for the angular velocity of actuator, and can effectively alleviate the soft impact of the system. Finally, a smooth planning experimental platform with multi-dimensional actuator was built. By setting the same trajectory and different interpolation points, the proposed Quintic B-spline algorithm was compared with the existing S-shaped curve planning algorithm based on the improvement. The results show that the proposed scheme has high control accuracy and strong impact mitigation performance, which can provide a reference for other multi-dimensional actuator trajectory planning.","PeriodicalId":38292,"journal":{"name":"EEA - Electrotehnica, Electronica, Automatica","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74380728","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}
