A new permanent magnet design for axial flux interior permanent magnet (AFIPM) motor is described in this paper. Poleshoes are traditionally used to produce sinusoidal flux linkage and sinusoidal EMF especially in the case of radial flux synchronous machines. Poleshoes are not a practical solution in the case of axial flux PM machine. The use of poleshoes in the production of sinusoidal back EM...

In recent years, the areas of industrial application of AC drives, especially Induction machine based on DTC technique has gradually increased due to its advantages over the other techniques of control. In conventional direct torque control, the selection of flux linkage & electromagnetic torque errors are made within the respective flux and torque hysteresis bands in order to obtain fast torqu...

Self-sensing refers to extracting the position information from the electromagnetic signals instead of from a physical position sensor. Self-sensing actuator has the benefit of significantly reducing hardware effort. In this paper, we investigate selfsensing actuators applied in direct acing proportional valves. The study is based on the configuration of a dual-solenoid actuator where each sole...

A new squirrel-cage rotor structure induction motor (IM) that has a auxiliary permanent magnet (PM) rotor and improved cage-rotor structure is presented to enhance the inherent power factor of the IM, and a prototype motor is fabricated by modifying the rotor of a conventional three-phase four-pole squirrel-cage induction motor. The flux linkage, flux distribution, power factor, core loss and e...

In this paper a low-cost sensorless control strategy of SR motor is proposed. The static flux-linkage characteristics of the motor are used for estimating the position. A number of discrepancies between the static and the dynamic characteristics of the motor are explained. In this paper the issues regarding eddy effects and mutual inductances in both static and dynamic conditions, and their inf...
