this paper presents developing an analytical model for flux switching motors. the motor is a class of variable reluctance motors that has two windings on stator; a field winding and an armature winding. due to saliency of both stator and rotor poles, accurate modeling is difficult which arises from the nonlinear behavior of the machine. this paper presents a simple model which is able to predic...

This paper presents a sensorless system drive on primary flux oriented control (PFOC) and secondary flux oriented control (SFOC) for the linear induction motor (LIM) with taking into account end effect. Extended kalman filter (EKF) is applied to estimate LIM speed by measuring motor voltages and currents. In order to achieve desirable dynamic and robustness motor performance instead of traditio...

Axial flux machines have positive sides on the power and torque density profile. However, the price of this profile is paid by the torque ripples and irregular magnetic flux density production. To gather higher efficiency, torque ripples should close to the zero and the stator side iron should be unsaturated. Torque ripples mainly occur due to the interaction between the rotor poles and the sta...

An adaptive online flux-linkage estimation method for the sensorless control of switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive is presented in this paper. Sensorless operation is achieved through a binary observer based algorithm. In order to avoid using the look up tables of motor characteristics, which makes the system, depends on motor parameters, an adaptive identification algorithm is used to estim...

This paper presents a thermal model of an axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor (AFPMSM) with the structure of double-stator single-rotor called an axial-flux interior-rotor (AFIR) permanent magnet synchronous machine. The proposed 3D model involves formulation of the heat conduction equations of 3D model using finite element technique. The model considers most of the complexities of th...

In motors containing magnets, irreversible demagnetization failure is one of the factors that negatively affect motor performance. this study, traditional Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (AF-PMSM) rotor structure was changed and gained feature starting from line used. Line Start AF-PMSM with 5.5 kW shaft power has 4 poles each pole consists 5 magnets. Demagnetization obtained by f...
