Asenkron motorlar için ayarlanabilir gerilim uygulamalı V/f tabanlı hız denetiminde farklı PWM tekniklerinin performans analizi

This paper presents a comparative study and a method to improve Volt-Hertz (V/f) based speed control of Induction Motors (IMs). For this purpose, Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) and space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) techniques are investigated and evaluated, especially from the point of their control performance on the V/f-based control for three-phase IMs working at different load and speed conditions. From this aspect, it is a different study from the literature. Steady and transient effects of both techniques on the above mentioned control methods are analyzed for several case studies. Afterwards, adjustable boost voltage application with modified reference commands technique is proposed for both PWM methods in order to improve start-up performance. All investigations for both PWM models are carried out under the same conditions. Although SVPWM technique gives more effective results in many cases, the proposed method provides noticeable improvements on SPWM-based applications from point of performance on the control method. As a novelty of this study, it is shown that, the bad performance of the control method at low frequency in SPWM application, which has lower computational burden for low cost microcontroller, can be improved by applying adjustable boost voltage along with modified references that are proportional to the DC bus current

3D magnetic analysis of permanent magnets in spherical configuration

The present study aims to increase the amount of surface flux by changing the magnetic directions of a spherical magnet (NdFeB) consisting of four poles. For this purpose, the magnetic directions of quartile spherical slices constituting the spherical magnet are manipulated and their three-dimensional analyses are carried out by using finite-element method via Maxwell environment. The analysis of the magnetic quartile spheres with four different magnetic directions are compared to the each other, and then the quartile sphere with the best surface flux distribution is suggested for rotor structure. It is clear emphasized that the induced torque of the spherical motor, in which such a rotor is used, will be improved as well. © The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers

Optimal design and implementation of a drivetrain for an ultra-light electric vehicle

This paper presents an integrated design of a drivetrain for a single-person ultra-light electric vehicle (ULEV). To calculate losses and efficiency of the inverter, the permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) and the gearbox, parameterised analytical models are used. For the gearbox - which has a single gear ratio - the studied parameters are the gear ratio, the number of stages, the number of teeth and the module of each spur gear combination. The novelty of the paper is that it learns how the total average efficiency and the total mass of the drivetrain depend on the gear ratio, on the number of stages in the gearbox, on the motor parameters and on the chosen several driving cycles including the new European driving cycle (NEDC). On the basis of the presented results, it is possible to choose the right configuration of power electronics, PMSM and gearbox in order to have a good trade-off between high efficiency and low mass

A low cost shading analyzer and site evaluator design to determine solar power system installation area

Shading analyzer systems are necessary for selecting the most suitable installation site to sustain enough solar power. Afterwards, changes in solar data throughout the year must be evaluated along with the identification of obstructions surrounding the installation site in order to analyze shading effects on productivity of the solar power system. In this study, the shading analysis tools are introduced briefly, and a new and different device is developed and explained to analyze shading effect of the environmental obstruction on the site on which the solar power system will be established. Thus, exposure duration of the PV panels to the sunlight can be measured effectively. The device is explained with an application on the installation area selected as a pilot site, Denizli, in Turkey. © 2015 Selami Kesler et al

Asenkron motorlar için ayarlanabilir gerilim uygulamalı V/f tabanlı hız denetiminde farklı PWM tekniklerinin performans analizi

Bu makale, Asenkron Motorlarının (IM veya ASM) Volt-Hertz (V/f) tabanlı hız kontrolünü iyileştirmek için bir yöntem ve karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma sunmaktadır. Bu amaçla, özellikle farklı yük ve hız koşullarında çalışan üç fazlı asenkron motorların V/f tabanlı hız kontrol performansı açısından sinüzoidal darbe genişlik modülasyonu (SPWM) ve uzay vektör darbe genişliği modülasyonu (SVPWM) teknikleri incelenip değerlendirilmiştir. Bu bakımdan, literatürden farklı bir çalışmadır. Her iki tekniğin yukarıda belirtilen kontrol yöntemi üzerindeki kararlı ve geçici hal etkileri çeşitli örnek durumlar üzerinde analiz edilmiştir. Daha sonra, kalkış performansını artırmak için her iki PWM yönteminde de düzeltilmiş referans komut tekniğine eşlik eden ayarlanabilir yükseltici gerilim uygulaması önerilmiştir. Her iki PWM modeli için yapılan tüm araştırmalar aynı koşullar altında gerçekleştirilmiştir. SVPWM tekniği birçok durumda daha etkin sonuçlar vermesine rağmen, kontrol yöntemi üzerindeki performans açısından SPWM tabanlı uygulamalarda önerilen yöntem dikkate değer iyileştirmeler sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bir yeniliği olarak, düşük maliyetli mikrodenetleyici için daha az hesaplama yükü olan SPWM uygulamasında karşılaşılan düşük frekansta kötü kontrol performansı, DC hat akımına göre oransal olarak değişen düzeltilmiş referans komutlarıyla birlikte uygulanan ayarlanabilir yükseltici gerilim yöntemi ile iyileştirilebileceği gösterilmiştir

Optimal design of induction motor with multi-parameter by FEM method

There are a lot of parameters to improve the efficiency of squirrel cage induction motors. Most of the studies deal with only one parameter at a time. However, Optimization of all parameters are needed to get the most efficient motor. This paper shows that three phase induction motor parameters including rotor slot type, stator slot type, steel sheet and rotor material optimized by using the module Rmxprt in Maxwell. The Results show that 157% increasing torque and 4.1% increasing efficiency are obtained. © 2015 Chamber of Electrical Engineers of Turkey

Design and Implementation of a Regenerative Mode Electric Vehicle Test Platform for Engineering Education

In engineering education, traditional teaching approaches cannot sufficiently help students to learn electric vehicle (EV) concepts. In this study, the design of an educational test setup including all the components and all dynamics of EVs is implemented, and case studies for engineering education with practical applications are discussed. The proposed test and training platform not only provides hands-on experience for engineering students, but also the opportunity for expert users to test their own designed algorithms on the test setup through a computer and human–machine interface device. The aim of the study is to show students the effects of road slope, vehicle weight and energy recovery parameters on a light EV. In this context, five case studies have been carried out by the students, and a survey was conducted with them. The survey results show that the test setup can help them better comprehend any EV system and develop their professional knowledge and skills

Parametrical Analysis of a New Design Outer-Rotor Line Start Synchronous Motor

The effect of the motor parameters of the outer rotor model, which is intended to be used in electric vehicles, has not been investigated although many inner-rotor models have been studied in the literature. In this study, therefore, a new outer-rotor line start synchronous motor is designed and the effect of rotor parameters on the motor characteristics is presented. Parameters of the rotor geometry are divided into 5 sub-titles; (i) airgap, (ii) round bar diameter, (iii) round bar distance from airgap (iv) magnet bar distance from airgap, (v) magnet thickness and (vi) magnet height. Also, the effect of the skew angle of rotor core is analyzed with 2D multi-slice FEM technique. The results show that the relationship between parameters is very important in terms of torque and flux density, high efficiency, and less cogging at start-up. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG
