A Novel Slot-PM Assisted Complementary-Rotor Doubly Salient Machine With Enhanced Torque Performance

A novel PM motor with hybrid PM excitation and asymmetric rotor structure for high torque performance

This paper proposes a novel permanent magnet (PM) motor for high torque performance, in which hybrid PM material and asymmetric rotor design are applied. The hybrid PM material is adopted to reduce the consumption of rare-earth PM because ferrite PM is assisted to enhance the torque production. Meanwhile, the rotor structure is designed to be asymmetric by shifting the surface-insert PM (SPM), ...

Space Vector Modulated Direct Torque Control of PM Synchronous Motor with Initial Rotor Estimation

The direct torque controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has become attractive because of its simplicity and fast torque response. However, mechanical sensors have caused problems to the system. It is possible to overcome the disadvantage if the initial rotor position is known. For the initial rotor position detection, the structural and magnetic saturation saliencies are fr...

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Medium Power Pm-assisted Reluctance Synchronous Traction Machine Using Bonded Pm-sheets

This paper describes the optimum design of a permanent-magnet-assisted reluctance rotor of a 110 kW reluctance synchronous traction machine. Previous studies show that the performance of the pure reluctance synchronous machine drive deteriorates fast in the flux-weakening speed region. To address this problem, thin bonded permanent-magnet sheet material is used inside the flux barriers of the r...

Design and analysis of a novel stator–doubly-fed doubly salient motor for electric vehicles

A Novel Algorithm for Rotor Speed Estimation of DFIGs Using Machine Active Power based MRAS Observer

This paper presents a new algorithm based on Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) and its stability analysis for sensorless control of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). The reference and adjustable models of the suggested observer are based on the active power of the machine. A hysteresis block is used in the structure of the adaptation mechanism, and the stability analysis is performe...
