The paper presents the results of laboratory tests and FEM 2D calculations of the DCEFSM (Direct Current Excited Flux Switching Machine) electric motor prototype, made based on the stator ferromagnetic sheets of the induction motor. Static measurements of torques, currents, power, efficiency, electromotive forces, and voltages of the motor under various operating conditions were performed, as well as the recordings of its currents and back-EMFs waveforms. FEM calculations of measured values were also performed. The obtained results allow us to conclude that the motor has the operating properties of an under-excited synchronous cylindrical motor and can be vector controlled like the PMSM motor. The results of measurements and calculations indicate the need to redesign the magnetic circuit of the stator.

Abstract The paper presents selected results of the laboratory tests of the speed control system for the R-130 roadheader with an inverter-fed cutting heads drive. The results recorded for the variable speed system have been compared with the measurement obtained for the network supplied drive. There have been noticed some oscillations after rapid current overloads. They are due to the operation of the internal current controller of the PWM-inverter, The oscillations are fast decaying - so they prove the results of initial system stability checking. Generally, the automatic speed control, tracking the optimum speed level calculating by supervisory speed adjuster makes possible to better utilize the motor power throughout the whole cutting time. The better operating conditions of the motor cause increase in the whole system power efficiency (even in spite of additional losses in the inverter circuit) Additionally the sped control reduces dynamical overloads. This fact can have a positive influence on the whole system reliability. The speed control subsystem is a part of the whole control system which contains also close-loop boom angular position and velocity control circuits.

Starting Characteristics

The analysis of operating conditions of induction traction motors as part of traction electric drives of electric locomotives reported here has revealed that they are powered by autonomous voltage inverters with asymmetric non-sinusoidal voltage. It was established that the induction motor operation may be accompanied by defects caused by the asymmetrical modes of the motor stator. A model of the induction motor has been proposed that takes into consideration changes in the values of mutual inductance of phases and complete inductance of the magnetization circuit due to changes in the geometric dimensions of the winding caused by a certain defect. An algorithm that considers the saturation of the magnetic circuit of the electric motor has been proposed. This approach to modeling an induction motor is important because if one of the stator's windings is damaged, its geometry changes. This leads to a change in the mutual inductance of phases and the complete inductance of the magnetization circuit. Existing approaches to modeling an induction motor do not make it possible to fully take into consideration these changes. The result of modeling is the determined starting characteristics for an intact and damaged engine. The comparison of modeling results for an intact engine with specifications has shown that the error in determining the controlled parameters did not exceed 5 %. The modeling results for the damaged engine demonstrated that the nature of change in the controlled parameters did not contradict the results reported by other authors. The discrepancy in determining the degree of change in the controlled parameters did not exceed 10 %. That indicates a high reliability of the modeling results. The proposed model of an induction electric motor could be used to investigate electromagnetic processes occurring in an electric motor during its operation as part of the traction drive of electric locomotives

Liquid desiccant dehumidifiers (LDDs) can be improved by adding internal cooling. However, the addition of excessive cooling power may deteriorate the system‘s cost-efficiency, whereas the addition of insufficient cooling power leads to negligible performance improvements. The objective of this study is to determine the suitable cost-efficient cooling power range for improving the performance of internally cooled LDDs (IC-LDDs). A novel method and a set of criteria related to the moisture removal rate, cooling-power efficiency ( ηc) and coefficient of dehumidification performance from cooling power ( DCOPcooling) were proposed to determine cost-efficient cooling power. The internally cooled ultrasonic atomization liquid desiccant system (IC-UADS), together with a well-validated model based on the conservation laws of mass and energy and the sensible heat balance, was adopted to demonstrate the analysis. The results showed that, although the dehumidification performance improves with increasing cooling power, the improvement rate decreases, while ηcand DCOPcoolingdecline quickly (by 87.9%). For cost-efficient improvement, the necessary power proportion of internal cooling to the system‘s target dehumidification capacity tends to be stable, which was about 29% for the IC-UADS, and independent of the operating conditions. The results may help to determine the reasonable cooling power range for cost-efficient improvement of IC-LDDs.

Fault State

In this work, we propose a new and simple method to insure an online and automatic detection of faults that affect induction motor rotors. Induction motors now occupy an important place in the industrial environment and cover an extremely wide range of applications. They require a system installation that monitors the motor state to suit the operating conditions for a given application. The proposed method is based on the consideration of the spectrum of the single-phase stator current envelope as input of the detection algorithm. The characteristics related to the broken bar fault in the frequency domain extracted from the Hilbert Transform is used to estimate the fault severity for different load levels through classification tools. The frequency analysis of the envelope gives the frequency component and the associated amplitude which define the existence of the fault. The clustering of the indicator is chosen in a two-dimensional space by the fuzzy c mean clustering to find the center of each class. The distance criterion, the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm and the neural networks are used to determine the fault type. This method is validated on a 5.5-kW induction motor test bench.Article History: Received July 16th 2017; Received: October 5th 2017; Accepted: Januari 6th 2018; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Ouanas, A., Medoued, A., Haddad, S., Mordjaoui, M., and Sayad, D.

Torque Ripples

Purpose Direct Torque Control (DTC) of induction motor drives is a well-established technique owing to features such as fast dynamic and insensibility to motor parameters. However, conventional DTC scheme, based on comparators and the switching table, suffers from large torque and flux ripples. To improve DTC performance, this study aims to propose and implement a sensorless finite-state predictive torque control using extended Kalman Filter in dSPACE environment. Design/methodology/approach This paper deals with the design of an extended Kalman filter for estimating the state of an induction motor model and for sensorless control of systems using this type of motor as an actuator. A complex-valued model is adopted that simultaneously allows a simpler observability analysis of the system and a more effective state estimation. Findings Simulation and experimental results reveal that the drive system, associated with this technique, can effectively reduce flux and torque ripples with better dynamic and steady state performance. Further, the proposed approach maintains a constant switching frequency. Originality/value The proposed speed observer have been developed and implemented experimentally under different operating conditions such as parameter variation, no-load/load disturbances and speed variations in different speed operation regions.

In this, work the finite control set (FCS) model predictive direct current control strategy with constraints, is applied to drive three-phase induction motor (IM) using the well-known field-oriented control. As a modern algorithm approach of control, this kind of algorithm decides the suitable switching combination that brings the error between the desired command currents and the predicated currents, as low as possible, according to the process of optimization. The suggested algorithm simulates the constraints of maximum allowable current and the accepted deviation, between the desired command and actual currents. The new constraints produce an improvement in system performance, with the predefined error threshold. This can be applied by avoiding the switching combination that exceeds the limited values. The additional constraints are more suitable for loads that require minimum distortion in harmonic and offer protection from maximum allowable currents. This approach is valuable especially in electrical vehicle (EV) applications since its result offers more reliable system performance with low total harmonics distortion (THD), low motor torque ripple, and better speed tracking.

<p>This paper presents a closed loop Model Reference Adaptive system (MRAS) observer with artificial intelligent Nuero fuzzy controller (NFC) as the adaptation technique to mitigate the low speed estimation issues and to improvise the performance of the Sensorless Direct Torque Controlled (DTC) Induction Motor Drives (IMD). Rotor flux MRAS and reactive power MRAS with NFC is explored and detailed analysis is carried out for low speed estimation. Comparative analysis between rotor flux MRAS and reactive power MRAS with PI as well as NFC as adaptive controller is performed and results are presented in this paper. The comparative analysis among these four speed estimation methods shows that reactive power MRAS with NFC as adaptation mechanism shows reduced speed estimation error and actual speed error at steady state operating conditions when the drive is subjected to low speed operation. Simulation carried out using MATLAB-Simulink software to validate the performance of the drive especially at low speeds with rated and variable load conditions.</p>

More than 30 million electric motors are sold every year in the world, in the last 20 years the appearance of more efficient electric motors resulted in the replacement of more than 70% of the old motors installed. New technologies are being presented by manufacturers as substitutes for the squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM). Given this scenario, studies should be carried out to analyze the performance of these motors in the same operating conditions to know their main advantages and drawbacks. This study presents a comparison of the performance of electric motors classes IE2, IE3 and IE4 in the presence of voltage unbalance (VU) with under and over voltage. Results show that not only the unbalance percentage present impacts the motor performance, but also the magnitudes of the voltages present. The VU also results in an increase in the harmonics present in each motor, mainly in the permanent magnet hybrid motor, which presents non-linear characteristics.
