For line start permanent magnet synchronous machines (LSPMSMs), the eddy current loss in the rotor, which has of significant effects on rotor working temperature, may cause thermal demagnetization to permanent magnet. Therefore, this paper addresses an investigation on the temperature distribution in LSPMSM based on a 6 kV, 315 kW prototype with solid starting cage bar. Firstly, the loss distri...

This study presents a novel means of designing a simple and effective torque controller for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The overall stability of the system is shown using Lyapunov technique. The Lyapunov functions used contain a term penalizing the integral of the tracking error, enhancing the stability. The tracking error is shown to be globally uniformly bounded. Simulation res...

A method merging the features of variable structure control and neural network design is presented for speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The proposed control approach is based on a discrete-time variable structure control and a robust digital differentiator for speed estimation. Radial basis function neural networks are used to learn about uncertainties affecting the system...

In this thesis, a permanent-magnet assisted synchronous reluctance machine (PMSynRel) design is presented for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle application. Apart from operating as a traction machine to propel the vehicle, the machine is also used when the vehicle’s battery is charged from the grid. This additional functionality puts restraints (that are discussed in the thesis) on the final ma...

Today, due to the limited supply and rapid consumption of fossil fuels, transitioning towards renewable energy supplies has become more important than ever.. The purpose of this paper is to present a new linear permanent magnet vernier machine structure which is designed to capture wave energy and improve the performance of the prototype vernier machine. By halving the proposed vernier machine,...

Optimal linear controllers and high computational non-linear controllers are normally applied to control the nonlinear systems. Flatness control method is a control technique for linear systems as well as nonlinear systems by static and dynamic feedback namely as endogenous dynamic feedback. This method takes into account the non-linear behavior of the process while preventing complicated compu...
