In order to obtain real-time information of the system and complete self-tuning of the controller parameters, online identification method of mechanical parameters is analyzed in the two-mass system with backlash. Firstly, the identification model and implementation process under no-load and loading conditions are studied. On the basis of that, recursive least squares forgetting factor (FFRLS) method is used to identify multiple parameters simultaneously. The effect of load torque and inertia ratio upon the identification precision is analyzed. For the case of no-load and low inertia-ratio, a shaft torque compensator is combined for backlash compensation, further improving the identification precision. Simulation results show that the linear identification method can be effective in the elastic-backlash nonlinear system under any loading or inertia ratio conditions.","PeriodicalId":411916,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS)","volume":"2 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":"121700587","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 focuses on the elongation of the expected lifetime of IGBT-power-modules. Temperature swings caused by alternating operation conditions are the major influencing factor. The temperature swings can be reduced by increasing the power losses in low load conditions. This is realized by a model based junction temperature control system. Possible correcting variables are the variation of the switching frequency and the presetting of a current amplitude. Each correcting variable has its benefits and drawbacks. This paper presents a model based junction temperature control system which combines these two correcting variables in a beneficial manner. The functionality is demonstrated on a three phase two level inverter equipped with opened and blackened IGBT power modules feeding a PMSM The correcting variables have no negative influence on the demanded output power of the PMSM.","PeriodicalId":411916,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS)","volume":"35 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":"134356798","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}

Generally, the power loss generated in the active-state MOSFETs is very large, and the conventional class-B linear amplifier is not used on the power conversion applications because both the MOSFETs of the class-B linear amplifier mostly operate in active-state region. In the proposed FCLA, multiple series MOSFETs are connected and only one MOSFET operates as the active-state at the same moment. Thus, the power loss generated in the MOSFETs can be reduced and FCLA achieves high efficiency without the switching operation. In this paper, characteristics of the FCLA and conventional linear amplifiers are theoretically compared and evaluated. As a result of the theoretical calculation, it is clarified that the FCLA has higher efficiency than the conventional linear amplifiers. Finally, experimental waveforms and efficiencies of prototype 4-series, 6-series, and 12-series FCLAs are shown. The efficiency of 88.9% is measured at 57.7 W output in 12-series FCLA.","PeriodicalId":411916,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS)","volume":"4 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":"130767224","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}

In the charge mode, the FC charges the battery and provides power to the load simultaneously. In the discharge mode, the FC and the battery provide energy to the load simultaneously.

The proposed algorithm is based on an accurate model of the synchronous reluctance motor, obtained by the offline training of a low-complexity neural network, specifically developed to the purpose.

Therefore a reliable TIM, with slow degradation, is an important component of a power module assembly. This article reports evaluation of five TIMs under power cycling conditions that lead to module base plate temperature swings between 15 and 110°C. Each TIM was tested with three IGBT modules. Two of the TIMs tested were Phase Change Material thermal pads, two were a high performance thermal greases, and one was a new thermal pad, marked here as Teledyne-Rockwell Pad (T-PAD).
