The present trend of aerospace industries is being shifted towards a “More Electric Aircraft” system which needs to be high power dense. For this purpose, the integration technologies have gained massive interest, providing the benefits of reduced losses, weight, volume and cost. In this article, the integration concept of a passive filter inductor is presented for a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The integrated motor eliminates the need of an external inductor, thus, eliminates the added inductor losses, mass, volume and cost associated with it. The motor utilizes its’s inherent inductance to use it as a filter inductor instead of implementing a discrete inductor that is commonly placed between inverter and the motor terminals. Optimization study is carried out, where the filter branch windings are tapped, in terms of improving mass and volume and performance parameters such as power losses and torque ripple. From the optimization study, the motor with minimum weight and volume is experimentally validated at the rated conditions, in order to prove the concept feasibility. Total system weight and volume of integrated and traditional motor drives are compared, which gives the minimum weight of 2.26 kg and 3.14 kg respectively, and the minimum volume of 0.54 L and 1.1 L respectively.

Direct torque control with space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) is one of the most promising alternatives of field-oriented control in the case of permanent magnet synchronous motor drives. This method controls the electromagnetic torque of the motor with excellent dynamics which makes it an attractive choice in the case of servo drives. In this article DTC-SVM is investigated with Matlab-Simulink simulation and it is proven that DTC-SVM has severe instability-issues during overloading and its overload-capabilities are heavily dependent on the speed. Therefore, a novel modified DTC-SVM method is proposed which is stable during overloading and its overload-capabilities are practically independent of the speed. Also, the overload-capability of the new method is superior to that of classical DTC-SVM, while the two methods are practically identical from the point of view of the torque-control dynamics and the torque-ripple generated.

This paper addresses an adaptive control approach to achieve high-performance response in phase currents and to minimize torque ripples in uncertain permanent magnet synchronous motor drives. In this manner, the electrical part of the permanent magnet synchronous motor drive is considered completely uncertain by taking the inherent characteristic of the parameters into account. A periodic adaptive controller is formulated in order to achieve the torque ripple reduction in the presence of the time-varying periodic uncertainties. In the sense that the periodic uncertainties appearing in permanent magnet synchronous motor drives change by the angular position, a change of the time variable is applied in the formulation of the proposed adaptive controller, and the stability analysis is conducted accordingly utilizing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. Extensive numerical simulations are successfully performed for various operation points to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The neutral point clamped (NPC) pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter has been put into practical use for large capacity AC motor drives because of its less distorted output, lower costs and better control performance. This paper suggests a way to improve the performance of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) by using the three-level NPC inverter. Firstly, the three-level NPC inverter space voltage vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique is analyzed in detail. Then, the NPC inverter is applied in PMSM vector control. Finally, a simulation experiment of the proposed control algorithm is carried out. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the torque ripple and improve driving performance for the PMSM drive.

PurposeThis paper aims to propose a numerically efficient multi-objective optimization strategy, which can improve both the efficiency and performance during the optimization process. Design/methodology/approachThis paper discusses the multi-objective optimization algorithm by combining multi-objective differential evolution (MODE) algorithm with an adaptive dynamic Taylor Kriging (ADTK) model. FindingsThe proposed approach is validated through application to an analytic example and applied to a shape optimal design of a multi-layered interior permanent magnet synchronous motor for torque ripple reduction while maintaining the average torque. Originality/valueThe ADTK model selects its basis functions adaptively and dynamically so that it may have better accuracy than any other Kriging models. Through adaptive insertion of new sampling data, it guarantees minimum required sampling data for a desired fitting accuracy.
