The rotor overhang is used to enhance the air-gap flux and improve the power density. Due to the asymmetry in the axial direction caused by the overhang, a time consuming 3D analysis is necessary when designing a motor with overhang. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an equivalent magnetic circuit model (EMCM) which takes account overhang effects without a 3D analysis by using effectiv...

For a p ractical direct torque controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system, the information of the initial rotor position, which is usually obtained by a mechanical position sensor, is essential for starting under the full load. In order to avoid the disadvantages of using mechanical position sensors, great efforts have been made on the development of sensorless cont...

Vector control is one of the standard techniques used for the control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The outer speed loop in vector controlled PMSM drive greatly affects the drive performance. In order to combine the advantages of proportional plus integral (PI) and fuzzy controllers, hybrid fuzzy-PI controllers are used in which the output can either be the outputs of the two,...

The cylindrical permanent magnet is the core part of the permanent-magnet seed-metering device, it can absorb single magnetic powder coated seed. The first, the magnetic induction intensity model of any point in the cylindrical permanent magnet external was established based on the equivalent current model of permanent magnet. The second, the mathematical formula was derived using the Biot-Sava...

_ Speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using Direct Torque Control has rapid response and good static and dynamic performance but less accurate since current, torque and flux linkage wave forms contain big ripples. To overcome these disadvantages stator flux linkage and rotor speed are estimated using Extended Kalman Filter. Therefore, sensorless speed control of surface p...

Performance evaluation of an axial flux surface mounted permanent magnet (PM) field controlled TORUS type (FCT) disc machine is presented in this paper. This new machine is an axial flux configuration with true field weakening capability since the flux is controlled by the DC field winding rather than opposing the magnets. Structure and operating principles are summarized in the first section. ...

This paper presents a novel approach to determine geometric shapes of flux modulation poles (FMPs) by using the analytical equations for flux density distribution due to armature windings. The magnetic field by the windings is modulated by the FMPs. Then, the resulting magnetic field produces the torque by interacting with the rotor permanent magnets (PMs). Thus, to improve the output power of ...

General closed-form analytical expressions for airgap inductance of surface-mounted PM and induction machines are derived without the assumption of sinusoidally wound windings. The expressions are suitable for all singleor doublelayer, concentrated or distributed windings, and demonstrated to be identical with the winding function approach and share the same advantage that all the harmonics are...

In this thesis, a permanent-magnet assisted synchronous reluctance machine (PMSynRel) design is presented for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle application. Apart from operating as a traction machine to propel the vehicle, the machine is also used when the vehicle’s battery is charged from the grid. This additional functionality puts restraints (that are discussed in the thesis) on the final ma...
