To estimate the slip speed at the peak adhesive force value, the vehicle and wheel speeds are required. In this study, maximum adhesive force control was proposed, which involves estimating the vehicle speed using the LPF of the driving-wheel speed instead of the vehicle speed. Simulation results indicate that the torque was successfully controlled to drive at the maximum adhesive force. In addition, the proposed control method was validated using a wheel-rail test bench.","PeriodicalId":45552,"journal":{"name":"IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135110520","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}

Supplying electricity is difficult in some remote islands in Indonesia, such as Adaut regency of west Maluku. One solution to solve this electricity supply problem is the creation of a microgrid system. However, the application of renewable energy on microgrids can lead to several technical challenges, such as frequency disturbances and voltage instability. Therefore, a control algorithm that can maintain the system stability is required. One recently developed algorithm is the synchronverter. In this study, the synchronverter is used to maintain network stability on an islanded wind farm based microgrid. As a result, we asses the microgrid stability responses with the synchronverter algorithm or a conventional synchronous generator to evaluate the microgrid stability performance. The outcomes of this study indicate that the synchronverter algorithm can maintain the stability of microgrid even it is interrupted by intermittent wind speed input and load changes.","PeriodicalId":45552,"journal":{"name":"IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135011310","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 saturation current without self-heating effects is estimated based on a short-circuit test and the transient thermal resistance. The IGBT SPICE parameter is extracted from the saturation current characteristics during the short-circuit state.

Reusing the machine windings of an electrical machine as inductors, e. g. in DC-DC converters for onboard chargers, saves weight and space. However, currents in the machine windings when operating as DC-DC converter can result in undesired torque ripple generated by the machine. Therefore, stable rotor positions of a switched reluctance machine have to be found to prevent it from rotating in DC-DC converter operation mode. In this study, stable rotor positions for a wide range of current distributions are determined, enabling flexibility in the choice of currents. A method to analyze such stable equilibrium positions for switched reluctance motors is presented. The proposed method is used to determine the stable positions that facilitate flexible current distribution between phases. Moreover, locus curves are calculated, simulated, and measured to illustrate and evaluate stable rotor positions for the various current distributions.","PeriodicalId":45552,"journal":{"name":"IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136011566","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 static eccentricity of the rotor is a common fault in the fabrication process. These faults cause imbalanced electromagnetic force and exert unexpected vibration and acoustic noise during the design process. In the worst case, it causes bearing or motor failure. This research investigates the impact of this fault on the temporal and spatial harmonic distribution of gap flux density and electromagnetic force. Moreover, a compensation method has been proposed to suppress imbalanced force due to static eccentricity by using a triple three-phase winding motor. By controlling the three inverters independently, the winding current of each group can be controlled. Therefore, the gap flux density and electromagnetic force in each group can be brought into a desired state. Therefore, the imbalanced electromagnetic force can be restored using this system. In this paper, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and experiment.","PeriodicalId":45552,"journal":{"name":"IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135011309","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}
