Mutual couplings and dependencies of inductances with respect to rotor position are included in the circuit. A method for calculation of reactances of the equivalent circuit, which takes into account the actual form of air gap and MMF, saturation of iron, and their mutual connections, is described. The applicability of the proposed model for computation of static and dynamic states of synchronous machine is proven on an example of a generator. It is shown that the improved model can be reduced to the standard form by neglecting higher harmonics. The model enables calculation of electrical and mechanical parameters that affect the waveform of output voltage, noise and vibrations, which is especially important in operation of a frequency converter.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"107 1","pages":"47-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81212869","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 key design issue of de-magnetization is analytically investigated, pointing out the maximum allowed current loading, depending on temperature and machine dimensions. Such current limit is then compared with the one imposed by the thermal constraint. The analysis shows that low and medium size machines tend to be robust against demagnetization, while larger machines are more at risk. The theoretical analysis is confirmed by finite-elements via an example machine design.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"2010 1","pages":"1315-1321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73307434","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 single-phase induction motor of conventional on/off refrigerator is driven in variable speed to improve the thermal performance of the system. A sensorless technique is necessary because the conventional speed sensor cannot be employed in the hermetic compressor. To overcome this drawback, a model reference adaptive-system is used to estimate the mechanical speed of a single-phase induction motor. The electrical parameters of machine are needed to set the speed estimator and to implement a vector control. The classical tests to obtain the electrical parameters are a difficult task in hermetic compressor. Thus, a recursive least-square algorithm is used for parameter identification. The high performance speed control of hermetic compressor is shown and the experimental results are provided and discussed to validate the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"1 1","pages":"1069-1074"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91355150","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}

However, a typical disadvantage of the concentrated winding machines is eddy current losses in the solid conductive parts. Eddy current losses occur because the air gap flux produced by the concentrated windings contains much more space harmonics compared to the distributed windings. In this paper an analytical and a finite element (FE) model of eddy current loss calculation in rotor back-iron are compared. It was concluded that the analytical method can be a first good guess to compare and select different topologies for detailed design. Analytical method is quick but has a lot of assumptions and thereby low accuracy for actual loss calculation. FE method is more accurate for calculating actual eddy current losses due to its ability to handle complex geometries and material non-linearities. A comparison of deviation of results has been presented.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"54 1","pages":"2666-2670"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90582788","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}
