Received Feb 13, 2017 Revised Apr 17, 2017 Accepted May 1, 2017 A Constant Switching Frequency Direct Torque Control (CSF-DTC) with low switching losses Space Vector modulation (SVM) for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive is proposed in this work. The CSF-DTC combines Field Oriented Control (FOC) and basic DTC advantages. Indeed, the proposed control strategy improves the basic DTC...

This paper proposes a new 3-phase flux-switching permanent-magnet (FSPM) motor termed as modular FSPM (MFSPM) motor, for high reliability applications. Due to PMs in the stator, the proposed motor offers high efficiency, simple and robust rotor structure, and good thermal dissipation conditions. The key is the new motor topology which incorporates the concept of faulttolerant teeth to provide t...

Nelson, Andrew Lincoln: Characterization of Winding Faults in Axial Flux Reluctance Motors in the Context of Electric Vehicle Propulsion Systems. (Under the direction of Dr. Mo-Yuen Chow.) Since the late 1980’s there has been a major resurgence in electric vehicle propulsion research and development. This trend has been stimulated by various factors, including rising fossil fuel costs, environm...

Received Oct 19, 2017 Revised Dec 25, 2017 Accepted Jan 18, 2018 The proposed paper produces the high gain and low harmonic content in the permanent magnet synchronous motor fed Z-source inverter. The hybrid solar and fuel-based motor produces more power by using the direct torque control. The control based PMSM fed inverter for continuous power production. The dc bus voltage is regulated by us...

During a long time, permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) were only reserved for some specific applications, however, recently, these machines are becoming more used due to the powerful magnetic characteristic of the rare earth, being used in different areas. Several researchers have proposed implementations combining the use of permanent magnet synchronous motor with the direct torque cont...

Permanent magnet synchronous motors are efficient motors, which have widespread applications in electric industry due to their noticeable features. One of the interesting applications of such motors is in underwater vehicles. In these cases, reaching to minimum volume and high torque of the motor are the major concern. Design optimization can enhance their merits considerably, thus reduce volum...
