Eerror analysis in mathematical model of electromechanical actuator using Hamiltonian equations

This paper presents a methodology of error analysis in a mathematical model of an electromechanical actuator using Hamiltonian equations in the description of energy conversion. As the basic quantity in numerical algorithms, the coenergy of magnetic field Ecm is employed. The reason for the application of coenergy as a state function is the explicitness of its value for a given set of state variables, resulting from neglecting eddy currents and hysteresis phenomenon in the model

Synchronous reluctance machine drive control with fast prototyping card implementation

The Synchronous Reluctance Machine (SynRM) is an electrical machine in which the useful electromagnetic torque is produced due to rotor saliency. Its high powerand torque-to-mass ratio and very good efficiency make it a cheap and simple alternative for permanent magnet or induction motors, e.g. in electromobility applications. However, because of magnetic nonlinearities, the rotational speed and torque control of a SynRM is a nontrivial task. In the paper, a control algorithm based on a Hamiltonian mathematical model is presented. The model is formulated using measurement results, obtained by the drive controller. An algorithm is tested in the drive system consisting of a SynRM with the classical rotor and a fast prototyping card. The drive dynamic response in transient states is very good, but the proposed algorithm does not ensure the best efficiency after steady state angular velocity is achieved

3D Printing of Composite Material for Electromechanical Energy Harvesters

In this paper, a novel, composite material is proposed based on ferromagnetic wires immersed in a polymer that is well suited for 3D printing. The magnetic properties of this material are examined using FEM and compared with the properties of a more traditional composite based on magnetic powder. For a 50% ferromagnetic volume in the material, the proposed composite has a 67% higher value of saturation magnetic flux density and 87% higher value of maximum permeability, compared with the powder-based material. The authors believe that the proposed material could be used in the manufacturing of small electromechanical devices such as energy harvesters, thus vastly widening the possible fields of application related to 3D printing techniques
