This paper presents a benchmark test of 3.3 kVA of a variable speed unit for teaching purposes. The control strategies for the transformer section and for the machine section are described. Comparisons between simulated and test results performed on this low power system are presented for different cases of operation (SVC effect, reactive power compensation, flywheel effect).","PeriodicalId":416125,"journal":{"name":"2008 18th International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"2078 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129828650","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 sum of the two torque components exhibits a good agreement with the originally calculated starting torque with the Finite Element time stepping technique. This novel method also helps to have a better knowledge of the synchronization mechanism.

When the classical DTC scheme is implemented on a discrete-time base using a digital controller, the choice of the appropriate voltage vector is based on calculated values of torque and flux corresponding to the previous sampling moment. This time delay causes a large fraction of the overall ripple when the hysteresis bands are small compared to the maximum torque and flux variations during one sampling period. This paper aims to present a predictive scheme to correct for this time delay. The technique is characterized by its computational simplicity since it only makes use of the calculated effects of voltage vectors during the previous sampling intervals. The scheme does not require additional motor parameters and therefore shows the same robustness towards parameter variations as the conventional DTC scheme. The prediction scheme can be extended to compensate for an additional time delay when the sampling frequency is raised but the overall process time remains unchanged. Simulations and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed prediction scheme to reduce both torque and flux ripple.","PeriodicalId":416125,"journal":{"name":"2008 18th International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129709660","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}
