Abstract: This paper presented a novel analytical method for calculating magnetic field in the slotted air gap of spoke-type permanent-magnet machines using conformal mapping. Firstly, flux density without slots and complex relative air-gap permeance of slotted air gap are derived from conformal transformation separately. Secondly, they are combined in order to obtain normalized flux density taking account into the slots effect. The finite element (FE) results confirmed the validity of the analytical method for predicting magnetic field and back electromotive force (BEMF) in the slotted air gap of spoke-type permanent-magnet machines. In comparison with FE result, the analytical solution yields higher …peak value of cogging torque. Show more

Abstract: The axial and radial load capacity of axial hybrid magnetic bearing (HMB) is critical for the magnetic levitation system. In this paper, the effect of permanent magnet (PM) position on axial and radial magnetic force and stiffness in axial HMB is investigated. Six different configurations are considered and the equivalent magnetic circuits of HMBs for each configuration is built and studied based on the distribution of magnetic field and magnetic leakage. The dependence of axial and radial magnetic force and stiffness on the axial displacement, radial displacement and control current is calculated and investigated for different configurations. To validate the …calculated results, the axial and radial magnetic forces for each configuration are simulated by finite element method. A good agreement between the calculated and simulated results validated the proposed magnetic circuit models. Show more

Abstract: In order to optimize and analyze the cogging torque of hybrid stator motor, a hybrid stator motor is taken as the research project. The axial distribution of air gap magnetic flux density was analyzed, and the analytical formula of the cogging torque of the hybrid stator motor was derived. Combined with the cogging torque analytical formula, the superposition calculation method of cogging torque of hybrid stator motor was proposed, and the correctness of the superposition calculation method was verified by simulation analysis. The silicon steel segment and the amorphous alloy segment of hybrid stator core were optimized by using the …uneven air gap structure, and the optimized results of the silicon steel segment and the amorphous alloy segment were obtained by two-dimensional simulation. Based on the results of two-dimensional simulation analysis, a three-dimensional model was built for simulation analysis. After optimization, the cogging torque of the motor was weakened by 48.1% and the torque ripple was reduced by 1.32%, while the loss and output torque remained basically unchanged. Show more

Abstract: As for the inverse decoupling control system of a bearingless induction motor (BL-IM), in order to eliminate the influence of rotor resistance variation on its control performance, on the basis of the reactive power calculation of torque system, a novel fuzzy model reference adaptive (MRAS) identification method of rotor resistance is proposed. The reference model and adjustable model of instantaneous reactive power are derived in detail. In order to improve the identification performance of rotor resistance, a fuzzy PI adaptive law based on popov super stability theory is constructed. On this basis, a rotor resistance identifier is constructed, and it …is used to on-line correct the rotor resistance parameter in the inverse system mathematical model of a BL-IM system. Based on the inverse decoupling control system of a BL-IM, the simulation experimental analysis and verification are carried out. The simulation experimental results have shown that when the proposed identification method of rotor resistance is used, not only the identification- and tracking-speed of rotor resistance can be effectively improved, but also the identification accuracy of rotor resistance can be improved; as for the BL-IM system, after the rotor resistance parameter is on-line corrected, not only the inverse dynamic decoupling control performance can be effectively improved, but also the robustness of BL-IM system to the variation of rotor resistance parameters can be improved.

Abstract: This paper investigates how to control suspension system and steering system to cooperatively ensure their performance. A model predictive controller is designed for their integrated model, which includes three parts: predictive model, rolling optimization and online correction. Repeated online optimization is based on actual output feedback information, real-time consideration of the impact of uncertainties, and timely correction. The simulation results show that the integrated model predictive control effect of steering system and suspension system is better than those of non-integrated passive control and integrated optimal control. The ride comfort, handling stability and driving safety of the vehicle are all improved …with the integrated model predictive control. Show more

Abstract: In this paper, a novel decoupling control scheme combining least squares support vector machines (LSSVM) inverse models and 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) internal model controllers (IMC) is employed in the decoupling control system of the bearingless permanent magnet synchronous motor (BPMSM). This scheme can be used to enhance the control properties of high-precision, fast-response, and strong-robustness for the BPMSM system, and effectively eliminate the nonlinear and coupling influence. It introduces LSSVM inverse models into the original BPMSM system to constitute a decoupled pseudo-linear system. In addition, the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is used to optimize parameters of the LSSVM, which improves …its fitting ability and prediction accuracy. What is more, the internal model control scheme is used to design additional closed-loop controllers, thereby improving the robustness of the entire control system. Therefore, this scheme successfully combines the advantages of the LSSVM inverse models and the internal model controller. It can enhance the stability and the static as well as dynamic properties of the whole BPMSM system while independently adjusting the tracking and interference rejection performances. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme has been verified by simulation results at various operations. Show more

Abstract: The magnetic field and torque of permanent-magnetic spherical motor (PMSpM) are difficult to analyze due to the complicated structure, and therefore are often analyzed by the finite-element method (FEM) or Lorentz force method, with large amount of calculation and time consumption. This paper first establishes a three-dimensional (3-D) magnetic field analytical model of a spherical motor with permanent magnets (PMs) by the equivalent surface current method. Secondly, through the Lorentz force spatial integration of energized stator coil, a torque analytical model is established. Thirdly, in order to avoid repeated integration operation, a torque interpolation model based on torque Map is …established. Both magnetic field and torque analytical models are verified by comparing with FEM and the experiment respectively. It is shown that the method proposed not only ensures the modeling accuracy but also significantly speeds up the analysis. Show more

Abstract: Permanent magnet synchronous hub motors (PMSHMs) have been gradually introduced into the applications of electric vehicles. In order to output more torque, many researchers turned their research direction to six-phase motors. Because it is composed of two sets of three-phase windings, there will be interference between the windings, affecting the performance of the motor. In order to improve the steady and dynamic-state performance of permanent magnet six phase synchronous motor, a predictive torque control method based on multi vector model is proposed in this paper. Finally, experimental results show the effectiveness of this method.
