The calculated losses are compared with the measured results and the theoretical solution to verify the validity of the analysis. The method to decompose the electromagnetic field distribution into time-harmonic components is introduced in order to investigate the effects of the harmonic fields separately and to specify the main loss factors. The variation of the magnet eddy current loss due to the division of the magnet is also investigated. It is clarified that the eddy current loss in the permanent magnet is mainly produced by the carrier harmonics of the inverter and that the axial length of the divided magnet should be smaller than the skin depth of the eddy currents produced by the major harmonics for the loss reduction.","PeriodicalId":446844,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128599734","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}

A rotor unity power factor based direct torque control strategy is proposed. By keeping the rotor power factor to be one, a switching-table- based hysteresis direct torque control system is built and the corresponding rotor voltage vector table is obtained. The feasibility of the proposed method is tested through Simulink simulations. Such a control strategy show several significant advantages. As only the feedback signals of the rotor side are required by the control, the system is simple. Due to the unity rotor power factor, the capacity of the inverter is reduced to the lowest level. The stator voltage and current waveforms are kept sinusoidal, which reduces the harmonic pollution to power grids.","PeriodicalId":446844,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123893995","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}

But induction machines are not often considered for new design possibilities. One reason is that computer-aided design tools for induction machines are not readily available. Analytical and finite element models have significant disadvantages that limit their effectiveness for induction machine design. This paper presents a magnetic equivalent circuit modeling approach that is geared towards design. Magnetic equivalent circuits are flexible in terms of size and accuracy, have moderate computational complexity, and are easily parameterized. They can be extended readily to three-dimensional analysis. Comparisons with results from finite element models and measurements indicate that magnetic equivalent circuits, corrected for local saturation, are a promising option for a design tool.","PeriodicalId":446844,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123656870","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 this way, this paper presents a new concept called retro-design. It has been naturally introduced by the difficulties to determine the inner dimensions of high power machines, installed from many years, and for which plans are not always available. It concerns especially turbo-generators of thermal nuclear power stations. Consequently, in order to make easy the improvement of the generator performances with reliability without dismounting them for a long time, this paper presents an original procedure to find - a posteriori - the inner dimensions of the stator armature starting from a restricted initial data set as the rating plate. Such a determination do not use only a classical design method ; it requires to be coupled with a data base, even if this latter is restricted. The paper presents the procedure and the choices to make in order to find the best design parameters according to the power or the installation date of the generator. A retro-design example is given with a 1485 MW turbogenerator.","PeriodicalId":446844,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131790476","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 results illustrate the cogging nature of the torque and also the drawbacks in the 2D finite element analysis. Various design changes are investigated using the different analysis techniques to illustrate that even small motors can be improved by careful addressing of some important design features.
