Real-time thermal management of electrical machines relies on sufficiently accurate indicators of internal temperature. One indicator of temperature in a permanent-magnet synchronous motor is the stator winding resistance. This study applies two current injection techniques to a commercially produced permanent-magnet servomotor, which are applicable under load and cause minimal disturbance to t...

The paper presents electromagnetic finite element analyses for the eddy current losses in permanent magnets of synchronous machines. The main focus lies on high order element formulations and the comparison of the respective results against an analytical evaluation of these losses for both linear and rotational arrangements. Therefore, the representation of skin depth and wave length with the n...

In a hybrid energy system consisting of renewable sources of energy, there should be some storage facility or backup generation to maintain continuity of supply to the load when renewable source alone is not sufficient. The objective of this paper is to present one of such generating system that is capable of acting as a backup generator. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a mic...

In this paper, a new sensorless Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) drives method with Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for speed, rotor position and load torque estimation is proposed. The Direct Torque Control (DTC) technique for PMSM is receiving increasing attention due to the important advantages of the low dependence on motor parameters when compared with other motor control t...

A simple step and search control strategy for extracting maximum output power from grid connected Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion System (VSWECS) is implemented in this work. This system consists of a variable speed wind turbine coupled to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) through a gear box, a DC-DC boost converter and a hysteresis current controlled Voltage Source Converte...

Vector control has been widely used in control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) where the information of rotor position is required. Shaft position sensor such as an optical shaft position encoder or Hall Effect sensor is fitted to provide a signal that is used to maintain an appropriate space angle between the stator and rotor fields in the motor. Even though this method is very p...

Bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM) has the characteristic of both conventional permanent magnet synchronous motor and traditional magnetic bearings. In this paper, the design and analysis of BPMSM by using Matlab/Simulink and ANSYS Maxwell are presented. The principle of electromagnetic force is utilized to ensure a stable levitation operation of BPMSM. The BPMSM mathematica...

In Line start permanent magnet synchronous motor, eccentricity is a common fault that can make it necessary to remove the motor from the production line. However, because the motor may be inaccessible, diagnosing the fault is not easy. This paper presents an FEM that identifies different models, static eccentricity, dynamic eccentricity, and mixed eccentricity, at no load and full load. The met...

The mathematical modeling of open-switch faults in two-level machine-side converters and the fault-tolerant current control of isotropic permanent-magnet synchronous generators are discussed. The proposed converter model is generic for any open-switch fault and independent of the operation mode of the electrical machine. The proposed fault-tolerant current control system gives improved control ...
