Modeling of cross-coupling magnetic saturation in signal-injection-based sensorless control of permanent-magnet brushless AC motors
An improved brushless AC motor model is proposed for use in signal-injection-based sensorless control schemes by accounting for cross-coupling magnetic saturation between the - and -axes. The incremental self- and mutual-inductance characteristics are obtained by both finite-element analysis and measurements, and have been successfully used to significantly reduce the error in the rotor position estimation of sensorless control
Compensation for rotor position estimation error due to cross-coupling magnetic saturation in signal injection based sensorless control of PM brushless AC motors
This paper proposes a simple method for reducing the rotor position estimation error caused by cross-coupling magnetic saturation between the d- and q-axes when signal injection based sensorless control is applied to a brushless AC (BLAC) motor. The error in the estimated rotor position, which results when conventional signal injection sensorless control is employed, is analyzed. Based on an improved model of a BLAC motor which accounts for the influence of dq-axis cross-coupling on the high-frequency components of the incremental winding inductances, as deduced by either finite element analysis or from measurements, an improved signal injection based sensorless scheme is proposed. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by measurements on a BLAC motor having an interior permanent magnet rotor
Improved rotor position estimation in extended back-EMF based sensorless PM brushless AC drives with magnetic saliency
An improved extended back-EMF based sensorless control method is proposed for a brushless AC motor equipped with an interior permanent magnet rotor. It accounts for dq-axis cross-coupling magnetic saturation by introducing an apparent mutual winding inductance. The error which results in the estimated rotor position when the influence of cross-coupling magnetic saturation is neglected is analyzed analytically, predicted by finite element analysis, and confirmed experimentally, for various d- and q-axis currents. It is shown that a significant improvement in the accuracy of the rotor position estimation can be achieved by the proposed method, as confirmed by measurements
Improved signal injection based sensorless technique for PM brushless AC drives
The accuracy of rotor position estimation in the conventional signal injection based sensorless control of permanent magnet brushless AC drives depends on the load current. This paper proposes an improved method, which significantly reduces the estimation error by accounting for the cross-coupling effect between the d-and q-axes. The conventional and proposed methods are described and their performance is compared by both simulation and experiment
Transmutation prospect of long-lived nuclear waste induced by high-charge electron beam from laser plasma accelerator
Photo-transmutation of long-lived nuclear waste induced by high-charge
relativistic electron beam (e-beam) from laser plasma accelerator is
demonstrated. Collimated relativistic e-beam with a high charge of
approximately 100 nC is produced from high-intensity laser interaction with
near-critical-density (NCD) plasma. Such e-beam impinges on a high-Z convertor
and then radiates energetic bremsstrahlung photons with flux approaching
10^{11} per laser shot. Taking long-lived radionuclide ^{126}Sn as an example,
the resulting transmutation reaction yield is the order of 10^{9} per laser
shot, which is two orders of magnitude higher than obtained from previous
studies. It is found that at lower densities, tightly focused laser irradiating
relatively longer NCD plasmas can effectively enhance the transmutation
efficiency. Furthermore, the photo-transmutation is generalized by considering
mixed-nuclide waste samples, which suggests that the laser-accelerated
high-charge e-beam could be an efficient tool to transmute long-lived nuclear
waste.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, it has been submitted to Physics of Plasm
