In this paper, a novel hybrid DTC scheme is proposed for asymmetric six-phase PMSM drives, which can achieve faster dynamic response of classical ST-DTC scheme and good steady-state performance of classical SVM-DTC scheme. The key is that a completely novel control strategy for torque and stator flux is designed. Different torque control methods are adopted under dynamic mode and steady-state mode...
This paper investigates the use of instantaneous symmetrical components (ISCs) for mechanical faults detection in inverter-fed induction motors under closed-loop control. The proposed fault detection approach is based on the computation of the ISCs of the stator currents. The positive sequence power spectral density (PSD) is estimated using ESPRIT and least squares (LS). Then, mechanical fault detection...
This paper deals with the study and implementation of a losses minimization control method for an integrated multi-drives topology used to interface a multi windings induction machine to more storage units in hybrid electric vehicle parallel drivetrains. The main target is to optimize the management of multi-directional power flows, by reducing the power losses in the induction machine as well as...
The influences of current amplitudes on four-phase 24/18-pole doubly salient electro-magnetic motor(DSEM) under fault-tolerant operation are studied in this paper. Taking average output torque, output torque ripple and stator copper losses into consideration, the optimal fault-tolerant current amplitude (FTCA) range is obtained. A four-phase full-bridge converter with two bilateral switches is applied...
In DC-biased sinusoidal current vernier reluctance machines (DC-biased-VRMs), the DC exciting winding and AC armature winding are integrated into one single winding. Therefore, the copper loss can be reduced with torque density increasing, and only one set of power electronic converter is demanded. This paper is to propose a DC-biased-VRMs drive with asymmetrical power electronics devices and corresponding...
Voltage phase control is a novel field-weakening scheme for PMSM which was reported as more stable in high speed region. This paper provides a current ripple reduce method and a frequency-compensation method. The current ripple reduce method deals with the problem that the voltage phase control has bigger current ripple compared to the tradition method. The frequency-compensation method decreases...
In this paper, a dual parallel connected brushless direct current (BLDC) motors drive system fed by a single inverter is presented and the control method for stable operation in electric vehicles (EVs) application is proposed. To obtain the stability of such a system, both motors should always be respect the synchronism even if they have different load torque. The proposed control method is based...
This paper proposes three novel dual-stator flux-modulated permanent magnet (DSFMPM) machine concepts, which are particularly suitable for direct-drive applications with the virtue of their high torque density and low operation speed. The dual-stator configuration can help improve the use of inner cavity space, and achieve higher torque density comparing with the single-stator counterparts. Moreover,...
Due to the current constraint of linear induction machine (LIM) and voltage constraint of inverter, the output thrust of LIM is limited. So, in order to make LIM output thrust as large as possible within current and voltage limit, firstly, the maximum thrust per ampere (MTPA) is used to achieve maximum thrust with limited current in low speed. Secondly, with the speed of LIM increasing, the voltage...
The emulation of synchronous machines is an attractive solution to improve the integration of distributed energy resources in weak grids. In this sense, synchronverters have been widely analysed in the literature, but their digital implementation has been seldom studied. This paper presents the discrete-time implementation of the control algorithms for a battery-supported synchronverter in a weak...
This document introduces an air-land robotic platform called Hexapodopter, capable of ground locomotion and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). For walking, each of the limbs feature three degrees of freedom (DoF); for flying, the thrust is provided by a set of motors and propellers mounted on every limb. Due to its mechanical design, the Hexapodopter can reconfigure the thrust vectors of propellers...

When availability is synonym to safety in the context of automated driving, redundancy is mandatory. But how much redundancy is necessary and sufficient? This paper proposes a holistic approach in building safety relevant systems leading to suppression of unnecessary redundancies. A case study for an electromechanical steering system is conducted. The interaction of the steering system with other...
To the optical mechanical complexes of tracking and positioning, strict requirements are produced on the dynamics and permissible errors under such conditions as external and internal nonstationary disturbances, as well as presence of elastic deformations in the links of the driven mechanism. In modern systems, adaptive control algorithms have proven themselves as complementary to the main control...
Servo motors are widely used in many industrial applications. These motors require precise control of acceleration, speed, and position. Different designs can be found in the literature. This paper will compare the response of two of the common types and will propose a new servo motor design that uses a smaller amount of magnet, lowering the price of the motor. The proposed motor would be able to...
Variable flux memory (VFM) permanent magnet (PM) machines exhibit an additional degree-of-freedom for control, i.e. PM magnetization state, and thus excellent flux controllability. Moreover, the hybrid PM topologies having variable PM (VPM) with low coercive force and constant PM (CPM) with high coercive force at the same time, are employed to improve the torque density and the flux controllability...
In this study slip permanent magnet couplers (slip-PMC) for wind turbine application are introduced and their analysis technique used in finite element method (FEM) is presented. Two optimization methods are employed in determining optimum permanent magnet (PM) rotors for a fixed wound rotor size. The machine topologies, namely surface-mounted and spoke-mounted PM rotor topologies are evaluated against...
The open-ended winding configuration allows feeding an electric motor from two sides. If one of them is connected to an inverter closed on a floating capacitor, operating as an active power filter, it is possible to obtain several benefits over the traditional configuration, such as an extended field weakening speed range and a lower current ripple. However, the additional converter causes switching...
Dual three-phase machines are attractive due to advantages such as inherent fault tolerance. During postfault situation, the same magneto-motive force as in healthy operation should be maintained. Furthermore, it is also important to minimize the copper losses. Several strategies have been proposed to improve the postfault performance under open-phase fault. The maximum-torque (MT) strategy obtains...
Energy consumption and efficiency of electrical drives became an increasingly important issue. This issue encourages many researchers to develop new control techniques to reduce the energy consumption in electrical drives. Some of those techniques are more effective than others; some of them could save energy but will affect the response of the drive. DB-DTFC control has the fastest possible response,...
