The impact of the optimal 3rd harmonic to the rotor shape on the electromagnetic performance is investigated by finite element method. It is demonstrated that under the same amount of permanent magnets as the inverse cosine shaped IPM machine, the average torque for the machine of inverse cosine with optimal 3rd harmonic shaped rotor can be improved by >;5% while the torque ripple can be maintained almost the same. In addition, the inductance saliency ratio is also improved, which increases the average torque further. The impact of 3rd harmonic on stator and rotor iron and rotor eddy current magnet losses is also compared with the machine without 3rd harmonic in the rotor shape, which shows that the iron loss increases slightly. All results have been verified with finite element method.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"3 1","pages":"397-403"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78711408","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 data have been evaluated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and validated by measurements. Dimensionless numbers for the WHTCs have been correlated to the simulated data by the Gauss-Newton method. This characterization provides a way of calculating values for the convective WHTC depending on the rotational speed and the end-shield geometry. Due to the used dimension analysis, the result is applicable on scaled geometries. It is not an exact method for calculating the convective WHTC, but provides a tool with sufficient accuracy for most engineering purposes.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"3 1","pages":"1219-1226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90445543","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}

With the increasing PV penetration levels, the capacity of the synchronous generator needs to be reduced relatively in order to maintain power supply-demand balance. This leads to the lower system inertia and the higher generator reactance, and hence the transient stability may negatively be affected. In particular, the impact on the transient stability may become more serious when the considerable amounts of PV systems are disconnected simultaneously during voltage sag. In this paper, the potential impact of significant PV penetration on the transient stability is assessed by a numerical simulation using PSCAD/EMTDC.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"2013 1","pages":"2092-2097"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87985169","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}

AC voltage sensors, analog filtering hardware and additional measuring equipment are not required. With fewer components, the method is suitable for machine commissioning in the field. Therefore, the process of characterization is no longer confined to a laboratory environment.

These non-ideal effects can result in drivetrain oscillations which, in turn, can be mitigated by a controller manipulating the torque reference of the electric machine. If a permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is operated without using a position sensor (sensorless), the resulting torque dynamics (from the torque reference to the shaft torque) is different compared to the situation when the rotor position is known. Hence, it is desirable to know the torque dynamics for PMSMs operating sensorless when the drivetrain torque oscillation controller is tuned. This paper presents a number of models, evaluated using simulations, describing the torque dynamics of PMSM drives with and without the use of a position sensor.","PeriodicalId":6309,"journal":{"name":"2012 XXth International Conference on Electrical Machines","volume":"76 1","pages":"2273-2278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78686287","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}
