Investigation Study of the Influence of Pole Numbers on Torque Density and Flux-Weakening Ability of Fractional Slot Concentrated Winding Wheel-Hub Machines
Fractional slot concentrated winding machines (FSCWMs) with the low operation speed and large diameter usually have a large number of poles and slots; thus, numerous pole/slot combinations are feasible. The common practice to choose pole/slot combinations by multiplying the basic combinations may neglect some competitive candidates. Taking 36-slot FSCWMs as examples, this paper investigates the influence of pole numbers on torque density and flux-weakening ability, the two most vital performances of wheel-hub machine. It is shown that the machines with pole number slightly less than the slot number have the highest torque densities. Each component of synchronous inductance is separately analyzed, and its variation against pole numbers shows obvious regularity. Machines with pole numbers larger than the slot numbers have an excellent flux-weakening ability due to the large inductance and small permanent magnet flux linkage. The measurements together with the finite element analysis results confirm that the stator leakage inductance contributes the most to the superior flux-weakening ability. The identical analysis is also performed on 54-slot and 81-slot FSCWMs, with similar regularities observed.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
Position Sensorless Drive and Online Parameter Estimation for Surface-Mounted PMSMs Based on Adaptive Full-State Feedback Control
In this article, a position sensorless drive and online parameter estimation method for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machines-based on adaptive full-state feedback current control is proposed. The position sensorless drive is established by the detection of the back-electromotive force in the gamma delta synchronous reference frame, which is effective at the medium-speed and high-speed range. Besides, accurate estimation of the winding resistance, the stator inductance, and the flux linkage of the PM is achieved independently. Compared with the traditional recursive-least-square methods, the proposed parameter identification method can be easily implemented because of the significantly reduced execution time. With the help of the parameter identification, the precise position estimation can be achieved by the proposed sensorless control method regardless of the parameter variation during the operation. The stability of the proposed method is proved by the Lyapunov-function method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by the simulation and experimental results.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
A Sliding-Mode Position Estimation Method with Chattering Suppression for LCL-Equipped High-Speed Surface-Mounted PMSM Drives
This article proposes a sliding-mode position estimation method for high-speed surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machines with LCL filter. The implementation of the LCL filter aims at smoothing the motor current and reducing the iron loss caused by the harmonic currents. First, the discrete-time model of the LCL-filtered motor drive system is developed. Based on the developed model, the sliding-mode observer is proposed with more robustness against the parameter variation to estimate the back EMF, which contains the information of the rotor speed and position. Because of the elimination of the capacitor voltage sensors, the augmented sliding surface is designed to achieve arbitrary pole placement with only output feedback. Besides, considering the analog-to-digital scaling error and pulsewidth modulation harmonics, a reaching law with enhanced chattering suppression ability is proposed. Compared with the conventional methods, the chattering problem is well alleviated and thus the speed estimation ripple is much reduced. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method, even with the mismatched parameters adopted is validated at 100 kr/min with the sampling frequency 20 kHz.

Simplified Quadratic Optimization based IPMSM Full-Speed Range Rotor Position Estimation in Synchronous Rotating Frame
This article proposes a rotor position and speed estimation method for the interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) in the full-speed range. The proposed method is implemented in the synchronous rotating frame. Based on the voltage equation of the IPMSM in the synchronous rotating frame, a single-variable optimization problem is formulated to solve the rotor position at each current sampling step. After that, the solved position is fed into a phase-locked loop observer to obtain the estimated rotor speed and smooth out the estimation. The proposed position and speed estimation methods are effective from standstill to high speed, and no estimation algorithm switching is needed during speed variation. Details about the convexity of the optimization problem, the effects of parameter mismatch and sampling noise, and the solving method of the problem are discussed. Finally, experiments are conducted in both steady and dynamic situations to validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
Comparative Study on Supervised versus Semi-supervised Machine Learning for Anomaly Detection of In-vehicle CAN Network
As the central nerve of the intelligent vehicle control system, the in-vehicle network bus is crucial to the security of vehicle driving. One of the best standards for the in-vehicle network is the Controller Area Network (CAN bus) protocol. However, the CAN bus is designed to be vulnerable to various attacks due to its lack of security mechanisms. To enhance the security of in-vehicle networks and promote the research in this area, based upon a large scale of CAN network traffic data with the extracted valuable features, this study comprehensively compared fully-supervised machine learning with semi-supervised machine learning methods for CAN message anomaly detection. Both traditional machine learning models (including single classifier and ensemble models) and neural network based deep learning models are evaluated. Furthermore, this study proposed a deep autoencoder based semi-supervised learning method applied for CAN message anomaly detection and verified its superiority over other semi-supervised methods. Extensive experiments show that the fully-supervised methods generally outperform semi-supervised ones as they are using more information as inputs. Typically the developed XGBoost based model obtained state-of-the-art performance with the best accuracy (98.65%), precision (0.9853), and ROC AUC (0.9585) beating other methods reported in the literature.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport and Plannin
General Analytical Modeling for Magnet Demagnetization in Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Machines
This paper proposes an analytical model for the prediction of airgap magnetic field distribution for axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machine with partial magnet demagnetization. The AFPM machine geometry is first converted to a polar representation. Consequently, the subdomain model based on current sheet technique is developed. Then current sheet representation of PM is derived to consider the partial demagnetization using superposition principle. The back electromagnetic forces and cogging torque are obtained accordingly based on Maxwell's equations. The results show that the results of proposed approach agrees with that of finite-element method. The model is further validated by experiments under both healthy and demagnetized conditions, which can validate the proposed approach. Main contribution of the work is to consider the partial irreversible demagnetization. Moreover, the proposed method is applicable for both AFPM and radial flux permanent magnet machine.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care  Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
A New Hybrid Method for Magnetic Field Calculation in IPMSM Accounting for Any Rotor Configuration
In this paper, a new hybrid model is proposed for the prediction of air gap magnetic field distribution (MFD) in interior permanent magnet machines with any rotor configuration. The slotless magnetic field is first predicted by finite-element method (FEM) with automatic scripting in MATLAB to consider saturation in the rotor iron. Afterward, the conformal mapping viz., Schwarz-Christoffel mapping is introduced to take the slotting effect into account. Consequently, the MFD could be calculated. The back electromagnetic forces, cogging torque, and output torque are obtained accordingly. Then a subdomain model is developed to consider the armature reaction. The results show that the proposed hybrid approach agrees well with the FEM. The model is further verified by experiments. The main contribution of this paper is to reduce the computation time remarkably while maintaining the calculation accuracy.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
A New Rotor Structure for High Speed Flywheel Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine
This paper presents a new rotor design with assembled permeable retaining sleeve (APRS) to improve performances of a high speed permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). The APRS consists of equal number of permeable and nonmagnetic parts, which are alternately arranged and assembled together circumferentially via keyways. Electromagnetic and mechanical characteristics of the rotor applied to a high speed flywheel PMSM are analyzed using finite element method. Machine performances are compared to an original design with commonly used rotor structure. It shows that phase inductance of the high speed machine increases dramatically due to smaller effective air gap, which may benefit suppressing inverter current harmonics. Also, permanent magnet usage reduces by 9.4 % to obtain identical back electromotive force and torque constant. In addition, a smaller skin depth owing to high-permeability material and the circumferential segmentation of the retaining sleeve effectively reduce rotor eddy current. Associated loss decreases by 40.7 % under open-circuit condition. A prototype rotor is fabricated and preliminary experimental tests are performed to confirm the analysis results.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
Driver Circuit Design for a New Eddy Current Sensor in Displacement Measurement of Active Magnetic Bearing Systems
Position sensing is one of the crucial parts of the active magnetic bearing (AMB) system. The printed circuit board (PCB) eddy current position sensor is a new type of position sensor for the AMB system, which makes a compact structure, high sensing quality, and is low cost. In this article, an improved driver circuit is proposed for this new sensor. The driver circuit includes an excitation circuit and signal conditioning circuits. A crystal oscillator circuit with a power stage is used to provide the excitation coil with a stable excitation source of high stability and good precision of frequency. The analog demodulation circuit is designed for signal conditioning circuits to extract the rotor displacement information from the sensing coil outputs. Compared with the state-of-art driver schemes, the proposed method reduces the circuit complexity and cost. Accordingly, the experimental results show that the designed sensor has good linearity and sensitivity, and it can ensure AMB stable operation at the rated speed.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
An Improved Deadbeat Predictive Current Control with Online Parameter Identification for Surface-Mounted PMSMs
In this article, an improved deadbeat predictive current control (DPCC) method with parameters identification for surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous machines (SPMSMs) is proposed. With the proposed DPCC method, zero steady-state current error and deadbeat dynamic current response could be achieved, even with inaccurate initial motor parameters. On basis of the conventional DPCC method, a novel parameters identification for the stator resistance and inductance is developed, which is the main contribution of this article. The proposed parameters identification method works based on a reconstructed characteristic vector from the disturbance observer with current injection. Compared with traditional recursive-least-square methods, the proposed method can be implemented with greatly reduced computation burden. Additionally, since the design is established based on the fully discretized model, the effectiveness will be guaranteed on both low-frequency and high-frequency motors, which is a significant advantage of the proposed method.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.DC systems, Energy conversion & Storag
