Design constraints are selected on the basis of limitations imposed by machine's manufacturer and application (e.g. maximum copper slot fill factor, air gap length, permanent magnet material, limited space available in drive trains, etc.). Design variables are rotor radius, stator slot width and number of turns per phase winding. Parametric analysis is performed for various machine topologies. The cost function, which connects the distribution of operating points of HEV and the efficiency maps of various topologies of an electrical machine, is defined. Obtained parametric results are compared to find the result leading to the extreme value of the cost function. The initial design of IPMSM that corresponds to this result is considered as the best initial design.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"60 4","pages":"1658-1664"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91431633","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 contrast to the well-known standard Standstill Frequency Response (SSFR) technique, which could take more than 6 hours to conduct, the method proposed here collects all the required data in few seconds. This technique is based on nonlinear least squares estimation and algebraic elimination theory. The resulting algorithm is non-iterative where the data is used to construct polynomials that are solved for a finite number of roots which determine the electrical parameter values. Experimental results are presented showing the efficacy of the technique in furnishing the parameters of a salient pole synchronous machine.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"60-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85058423","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}

At the same time a voltage margin is required to ensure the stability of the inner current control loop. An adequate trade-off between these conflicting objectives is obtained by employing a superimposed voltage controller that is activated during flux weakening operation. In this paper, the design of such a voltage controller is presented. A simplified voltage controller plant model is identified from step response measurements. Due to variations of the plant parameters, the voltage controller is designed as a gain-scheduling controller with sufficient robustness towards plant model inaccuracies. The performance of the voltage controller is demonstrated by test-bench measurements based on an electric traction motor typically employed in sub-compact electric vehicles.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"1078-1083"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82133754","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}

Generalized parameter expressions allow for the examination of high-level design trade-offs associated with machine geometry, winding design, inverter leg count, and electronic pole count selection in variable speed applications.

The CSI offers some appealing advantages over conventional voltage-source inverters (VSIs) during short-circuit fault conditions originating inside the inverter. Two post-fault strategies are investigated in this paper, consisting of either: 1) turning off all of the switches; or 2) turning on all of the switches in a controlled manner. Key features associated with the machine response to both of these post-fault strategies are presented and compared, leading to the conclusion that both make it possible to protect the machine. A combination of analysis, simulation, and experimental tests has been adopted for carrying out this investigation.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"177 1","pages":"967-973"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79942953","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 most common method for detecting broken rotor bar faults is to analyze the corresponding sidebands through motor current signature analysis (MCSA). If a motor is subjected to load fluctuation, then the oscillation related sidebands exhibit similar behaviors as well. Particularly, when the load fluctuation frequency is close or equal to that of broken bars, the stator current spectrum analysis can be misleading. In this study, torque and motor phase voltage waveforms are exhaustively analyzed to discriminate broken rotor bar fault from low frequency load torque oscillation in three phase induction motors. In order to extract and justify the separation patterns, 2-D Time Stepping Finite Element Method (TSFEM) is used. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed approach can successfully be applied to fault separation process in star connected motors.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"140 1","pages":"1452-1458"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80051606","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}

This identification method is based on a modified SSFR test and the curves of the no-load and sustained short-circuit tests. This allows the lowest SSFR frequency to be 0.01Hz instead of 0.001Hz. The phase and field resistances are measured from fast and precise DC tests during the SSFR test. In this work, the value of the unsaturated synchronous inductance is defined from the no-load air gap linearization and the short-circuit saturation curve. This definition fits better when the saturation is considered and we present how to implement this approach with the Matlab-Simulink SimPowerSystem standard d-q models. Validations are made using sudden short-circuit tests at nominal field current to evaluate d-q model performances with magnetic saturation.","PeriodicalId":6477,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Electric Machines & Drives Conference (IEMDC)","volume":"98 1","pages":"454-460"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89113833","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}
