Linear Transverse Flux Reluctance Machine with Permanent Magnets

A new structure of linear transverse flux machine (TFM) is presented in this paper. It is in fact a variable reluctance linear machine having permanent magnets on the mover. Its structure and its working principle will be discussed. After a preliminary design of the motor a 3D FEM analysis was carried out before optimizing the designed linear motor. The flux densities in the machine and the sta...

Sensor-less Vector Control of a Novel Axial Field Flux-Switching Permanent-Magnet Motor with High-Performance Current Controller

Axial field flux switching motor with sandwiched permanent magnet (AFFSSPM) is a novel of flux switching motor. Based on the vector control method, the mathematical model of the AFFSSPM is derived and the operating performance of the AFFSSPM in the overall operating region is investigated.A novel control method for the AFFSSPM drive system, including the id =0, maximum torque per ampere, consta...

A New Method for Computation of Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Inductances under Saturated Condition

Accurate computing of the saturated inductances of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) is very important during the design process. In this paper, a new method is presented based on the B-H characteristic of the stator material and unsaturated inductances formulations. This method is used to calculate the saturated inductances of the axial flux PMSM. The synchronous inductance and all o...

A Current-Based Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control for Speed Sensorless Induction Machine Drive Using Adaptive Sliding Mode Flux Observer

This paper presents a new adaptive Sliding-Mode flux observer for speed sensorless and rotor flux control of three-phase induction motor (IM) drives. The motor drive is supplied by a three-level space vector modulation (SVM) inverter. Considering the three-phase IM Equations in a stator stationary two axis reference frame, using the partial feedback linearization control and Sliding-Mode (SM) c...
