Synchronous reluctance machines are very appealing for high speed traction applications due to their robustness, simple structure, absence of magnets, and simple control. The absence of magnets means that synchronous reluctance machines are not susceptible to price variability and sustainability of rare-earth materials. Also, there are no concerns about demagnetization or uncontrolled generation mode...
In this paper a prototype brushless doubly-fed reluctance machine is investigated which is aimed a meeting commercial machine performance figures. The machine has 4 and 8 pole 3-phase stator windings and a 6 pole radially-laminated ducted rotor. The machine is investigated using finite element analysis (FEA), static torque tests with DC current excitation, a MATLAB/Simulink model, and experimentally...
This paper proposes a modulated model predictive control (MMPC) algorithm for a brushless double-fed induction machine. The Brushless Doubly-Fed Induction Machine has some important advantages over alternative solutions for brushless machine applications. The proposed modulation technique achieves a fixed switching frequency, which gives good system performance. The paper examines the design and implementation...
Because of the advantages of simple and robust configuration, high reliability and low cost, the doubly salient electromagnetic motor (DSEM) has a broad application prospects in high speed areas. Core-loss predication is an important issue in the design and analysis of electric motors, especially in high speed application. However, because of the serious uneven distribution and local oversaturation...
In an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems, the Permanent Magnet (PM) generator is directly coupled to high-speed turbine shaft, in order to increase system efficiency avoiding introduction of gear-box. On the other hand, current time harmonics induce high frequency currents in rotor parts, which cause a temperature increase. PMs are strongly affected by the operating temperature, since both remanence...
This paper describes a simple ripple compensation method of suspension force and torque in a bearingless surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor with two-phase integrated winding configuration. Only two H-bridges or eight power transistors are used for the proposed topology. The neutral point of each phase is connected to the middle point of the power sources to superimpose the suspension and...
To produce an ultralightweight machine for electric aircrafts, we propose a machine in which electrical energy is converted between the stator and the rotor via magnetic resonance coupling (MRC). This action causes electromagnetic resonance between the multiphase windings of the stator and the cage bars of the rotor. Electromagnetic resonance coupling technology allows electrical machines to convert...
Multiphase induction machines (MIMs) are attractive for safety-critical applications, because they are able to operate under open-phase fault. On the other hand, algorithms for sensorless speed estimation improve reliability and decrease cost and maintenance. The approach based on rotor slot harmonics (RSHs) is especially popular, due to advantages such as its independence from time-varying parameters...
Axial flux machines (AFMs) are used in applications that require high power and torque densities in a pancake-type form factor. There are various types of AFMs based on the configuration of the rotor/stator and permanent magnet (PM) orientation. Most AFMs employ surface permanent magnet machines and as the result, the machine has low inductance and saliency. In this paper, an axial flux machine with...
In this paper an axial flux magnetic gear (AFMG) is proposed that has an integrated outer stator. This axial flux magnetically geared motor (AFMGM) is unique in that the stator shares the high-speed rotor with the AFMG, so there is no need for a separate rotor. The high speed and low speed rotors use a flux-focusing typology. The stator is mounted outside the AFMG and this makes the design mechanically...
The thermal analysis of the end space region of an electrical machine is mainly linked to the characterization of the convective heat transfer between the solid surfaces and the cooling fluid, normally air. Different relations have been proposed in literature by several authors but the calculation of the heat transfer coefficients (HTC) is still mainly related to empirical correlation factors, based...
Common-mode voltage (CMV) by switching pattern of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) excites parasitic capacitance coupling in interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), and it finally causes shaft voltage. Among all parasitic capacitances, winding-to-rotor parasitic capacitance has the greatest effect on the shaft-to-frame voltage. In the study, mitigation method of a shaft-to-frame...
Wound rotor synchronous machines have gained popularity as an alternative to permanent magnet synchronous machines and methods to improve the efficiency of these machines are continuously sought after. At the same time, non-overlap windings have gathered ground because of its associated lower cost and good torque density. However, non-overlap windings are also characterized by relatively high sub...
The objective of this paper is to investigate the electromagnetic design aspects of a novel flux-switching motor-compressor with rotor poles designed as airfoils to perform compression. The proposed novel flux-switching motor-compressor is both an electric motor as well as an axial-flow compressor. Conventional motor-driven compressor system typically requires an electric motor and a gear box to connect...
In this paper, the stator/rotor pole combinations in variable flux reluctance machines (VFRMs) are investigated from the prospect of magnetic gearing effect. Firstly, the magnetic gearing effect in the torque production of VFRMs is revealed from an analytical model. Based on this, the principles of feasible stator/rotor pole selection and corresponding winding configuration are analyzed. Then, the...
The demand for increased power and improved fuel economy are driving changes in alternator technology for automotive applications. To meet these demands requires a machine with capabilities of torque assist, regenerative braking, and power generation to supply vehicle loads while keeping the battery charged. Furthermore, to minimize add-on cost, the system must be air-cooled and operate at 12V with...
Since the vernier machine (VM) is a flux modulation machine that also operates simultaneously as a synchronous machine, the torque producing mechanism of this device is difficult to understand. This paper begins with an analytical study of a synchronous permanent magnet (PM) machine, where the back-emf and torque are derived based on a generic number of slots per pole per phase stator. Numerical comparison...
Permanent magnet Vernier (PMV) machines have attracted more and more attention for their merits of high torque density and simple structure. And principle of electromechanical energy conversion is the most common way to investigate the PMV machine by calculating back EMF and electromagnetic torque. In this paper, a new perspective on the mechanism of PMV machines based on the Maxwell stress tensor...
This paper investigates the applicability of fractional-slot concentrated windings to Synchronous Reluctance Motors for industry applications. Tooth-wound winding arrangements are attractive for the industry due to their lower cost of manufacturing, but when associated to a synchronous reluctance rotor they tend to lower the output torque and power factor of the machine significantly, and to excite...
In this paper a design and simulation model of a brushless, self-excited field winding machine is presented. The rotor of this machine possesses two windings, a field winding and a “transformer” winding, that are connected through a diode rectifier circuit. Using field-oriented control techniques, an AC magnetic field is generated by the stator windings that is always aligned with the transformer...
