The stator topology features and losses of both the original and segmented DPMEV machines are comparatively investigated. Then, the armature air‐gap flux density is deduced by the magnetic motive force‐permeance model, and the influence of each harmonic on the losses are analysed. It is found that the harmonic which produces losses in the original machine reduced greatly after introducing the segmented structure. Furthermore, the electromagnetic performances of two DPMEV machines are comparatively analysed by finite element analysis. Finally, two prototypes of the original and segmented DPMEV machines are built and tested to verify the theoretical analysis.","PeriodicalId":507169,"journal":{"name":"IET Electric Power Applications","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141646947","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}

Numerical online parameter estimation method will enhance the performance for sensorless control methods based on sliding mode observer (SMO). However, numerical online parameter identification methods typically assume zero rotor position estimation error to ensure full rank of the identification equation set. This assumption actually leads to errors in parameter identification, resulting in steady‐state errors in rotor position estimation. This paper focuses on a compensation method for PMSM online parameter identification that takes into account rotor position estimation error. This method is used for sensorless control based on SMO, using model reference adaptive systems for online parameter identification, and no additional parameter adjustment required. Validation is conducted on a PMSM experimental platform with maximum load of 15kW. The experimental results of 1000 r/min steady state operation proved the effectiveness of the method, and the dynamic experiments with 5 and 15kW loads proved that the method has no significant adverse effect on the system dynamics.","PeriodicalId":507169,"journal":{"name":"IET Electric Power Applications","volume":"32 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141659112","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}

Firstly, to address the problem that the difference in power density between the inner and outer unit motor is so large that it is not suitable for electromagnetic design using the power splitting method, a main dimensioning calculation method based on the equal‐power volume transformation is proposed. The influence of thermal load on the output performance of the inner and outer unit motors is taken into account comprehensively. The main dimensioning expressions for such motors are derived. Secondly, the output performance consistency between the inner and outer unit motors is theoretically analysed, and the optimal angle between the d‐axis of the permanent magnet rotor and the d‐axis of the reluctance rotor is obtained when the motor is operated in the maximum torque per ampere control mode. Finally, a prototype with a rated power of 46.7 kW was developed and load experiments were conducted on it, and the experimental results verified the correctness and feasibility of the theoretical analysis method.","PeriodicalId":507169,"journal":{"name":"IET Electric Power Applications","volume":"599 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141707715","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}
