This thesis deals withmodeling and control of an electric drive equipped with a permanentmagnet assisted synchronous reluctance (PMSynRel) machine for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle application. In the first part of the thesis, a special use of the PMSynRel machine in consideration, known as an integrated charger concept, is investigated. The integrated charger feature allows using the PMSynRel machine as a part of the vehicle’s on-board charging system when charging the battery from the grid. A finite-element based analysis is performed providing important insights into the machine operation during the charging process. Dynamic models are developed that facilitate the controller development and the estimation of the efficiency during charging. In the second part of the thesis, position sensorless control of the PMSynRel drive when applied in an automotive application is considered and analyzed thoroughly. First, a fundamental-excitation based rotor-position estimation technique is investigated. The study shows that the impact of current dynamics on the resulting torque dynamics has to be considered in some very demanding applications. Second, focus is put on signalinjection based sensorless control methods. Impacts of nonlinearities, such as magnetic saturation, cross-saturation and inductance spatial harmonics, on sensorless control performance are investigated and methods to improve the sensorless control quality are summarized and presented. An approach to determine the feasible region for operating sensorless at low-speeds without directly measuring the differential inductances is proposed. For the PMSynRel drive in consideration, the achievable maximum torque is limited when operating sensorless following the maximum-torque-per-ampere (MTPA) current reference trajectory at low-speeds. An optimization approach is therefore proposed which extends the output torque when operating sensorless while still maintaining a relatively high efficiency. To initialize the sensorless control correctly from standstill, the impact of the saturated magnetic bridges in the rotor is also investigated. Finally, torsional drive-train oscillations and active damping schemes are considered. An off-vehicle setup for implementing and evaluating different active damping schemes is proposed. Of particular interest for sensorless operation in automotive applications, the impact of slow speed estimation on the possibility to achieve good active damping control is investigated and a design approach that allows the implementation of an active damping scheme using estimated speed is suggested. / <p>QC 20140114</p>

abstract: The modern era of consumer electronics is dominated by compact, portable, affordable smartphones and wearable computing devices. Power management integrated circuits (PMICs) play a crucial role in on-chip power management, extending battery life and efficiency of integrated analog, radio-frequency (RF), and mixed-signal cores. Low-dropout (LDO) regulators are commonly used to provide clean supply for low voltage integrated circuits, where point-of-load regulation is important. In System-On-Chip (SoC) applications, digital circuits can change their mode of operation regularly at a very high speed, imposing various load transient conditions for the regulator. These quick changes of load create a glitch in LDO output voltage, which hamper performance of the digital circuits unfavorably. For an LDO designer, minimizing output voltage variation and speeding up voltage glitch settling is an important task. The presented research introduces two fully integrated LDO voltage regulators for SoC applications. N-type Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (NMOS) power transistor based operation achieves high bandwidth owing to the source follower configuration of the regulation loop. A low input impedance and high output impedance error amplifier ensures wide regulation loop bandwidth and high gain. Current-reused dynamic biasing technique has been employed to increase slew-rate at the gate of power transistor during full-load variations, by a factor of two. Three design variations for a 1-1.8 V, 50 mA NMOS LDO voltage regulator have been implemented in a 180 nm Mixed-mode/RF process. The whole LDO core consumes 0.130 mA of nominal quiescent ground current at 50 mA load and occupies 0.21 mm x mm. LDO has a dropout voltage of 200 mV and is able to recover in 30 ns from a 65 mV of undershoot for 0-50 pF of on-chip load capacitance. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Electrical Engineering 2016

Depuis ces années, le développement de systèmes de stockage d'énergie pour la mobilité électrique avec davantage d'autonomie de durabilité est au cœur des contraintes de développement des véhicules électriques ou hybrides entraînant une émergence de l'utilisation des systèmes de management ainsi que des circuits d'équilibrage.

L’autonomie limitée du véhicule électrique est le premier frein au développement du marché de l’électrique. La charge inductive dynamique répond à ce problème, en offrant de charger son véhicule en roulant. La principale difficulté est de gérer les variations importantes du couplage magnétique lors du déplacement du véhicule, et ce pendant le transfert de puissance. Une précédente thèse dans l’équipe de recherche sur un prototype de 3 kW avait abouti au concept de recopie de tension, qui stabilise la tension en sortie du coupleur malgré la variation de couplage, et facilite notablement la conception du convertisseur DC/DC faisant interface avec la batterie. La thèse présentée ici porte sur l’adaptation du système pour fonctionner de 20 kW à 30 kW. Cette montée en puissance n’est pas évidente, du fait des importantes contraintes électriques sur les bobines du coupleur (1,4 kV sur le système de 3 kW), et du champ rayonné limité par des références normatives. Tout d’abord, nous proposons une nouvelle commande du circuit résonnant, qui permet de modifier le dimensionnement pour aboutir à des contraintes électriques plus faibles tout en conservant la recopie de tension. Ensuite, une forme de bobine en huit est étudiée pour aider à réduire le champ rayonné. Enfin, une démarche de dimensionnement est établie pour la partie électrique du système, ainsi que pour le coupleur magnétique, alliant modèle analytique et simulations à éléments finis et réduisant considérablement les temps de simulations. Les résultats de l’évaluation des performances du système dimensionné pour la haute puissance sont prometteurs. / The limited electric-vehicle distance range is the main reason hindering the development of the electric transportation market. Dynamic inductive charging solves this problem, offering the possibility to charge while driving. The main issue consists in handling wide magnetic coupling variations when the vehicle is moving, while charging. A previous thesis in the research team on a 3-kW prototype led to the concept of voltage copying, which stabilises the coupler output voltage despite the varying coupling, making it easier to design the DC/DC converter linking the coupler to the battery. The hereby thesis deals with adapting this system to transfer from 20 kW to 30 kW. Raising the power is no small matter, due to the high electrical constraints on the coupled coils (1.4 kV on the 3-kW system), and the radiated field, limited by standardised thresholds. Firstly, a new control of the resonating circuit is proposed, allowing to change the system design to get lower electrical constraints and maintaining voltage copying properties. Then, an eight-shape coil was investigated in order to reduce the radiated field. Finally, a design method was conceived for the electrical part of the system, as well as the magnetic coupler, using jointly analytical models and finite element simulations to reduce simulation times. Results of the evaluated performance for such a high-power system are quite promising.

The project considers realization system, which allows us to test six different operation modes on lifetime of accumulators. The system will be connected to computer, that will perform measurement of current and voltage and switch betwen charge and discharge modes. The measured values will be recorded in certain time intervals to computer memory. After some time these measured data will be analised and the most optimal operational mode will be set.

La mesure de distribution de taille d’un aérosol (particules solides ou liquides en suspension dans un gaz) par analyse de mobilité électrique nécessite de neutraliser l’aérosol. La neutralisation consiste à conférer une distribution de charge centrée sur zéro obtenue par la diffusion sur l’aérosol d’ions bipolaires. Nous avons démontré la faisabilité d’un chargeur bipolaire post-Décharge à Barrières Diélectriques (DBD) pour remplacer les neutraliseurs radioactifs, généralement utilisées pour la production d’ions bipolaires et soumis à des contraintes législatives. La caractérisation électrique des DBD en géométrie « fil-fil » selon la distance inter-électrodes, la tension et le débit a permis demettre en évidence trois types d’auto-organisations des filaments selon la tension et d’évaluer lecourant de décharge, c’est-à-dire la production par la décharge d’espèces chargées par unité detemps. Dans la géométrie et les conditions de fonctionnement choisies, des méthodes de mesure des flux d’ions en post-décharge ont alors été développées. Nous avons ainsi confirmé que la fraction d‘ions extraits de l’espace inter-électrodes résulte d’une compétition électro-hydrodynamique qui dépend de l’auto-organisation des filaments. En effet, les densités d’ions positifs et négatifs en post-DBD, ainsi que le rapport entre ces densités, critiques pour la charge d’aérosols, sont contrôlés par les champs électriques et le temps de transit des ions en post-décharge. Dans le chargeur post-DBD, les densités d’ions sont décroissantes. Toutefois, cette décroissance n’affecte pas les distributions de charges des aérosols qui sont constantes pour chaque taille quelle que soit la concentration d’aérosol. Dans ces conditions, les granulométries mesurées en post-neutraliseurs radioactif et DBD sont comparées afin de prouver que le neutraliseur post-DBD est viable pour la granulométrie des aérosols submicroniques. / The measurement of the size distribution of an aerosol (solid or liquid particles in suspension in agas) by electrical mobility analyses requires the neutralization of the aerosol. Neutralization consistsin imparting a charge distribution with a mean charge of 0 by the diffusion of bipolar ions on aerosol.We prove the feasibility of a post- Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) bipolar charger as an alternativeto radioactive neutralizer subjected to legislative constraints. The electrical characterization of awire-to-wire DBD versus the gap, the voltage and the flow-rate highlights 3 kinds of selforganizationsof filaments versus voltage. Moreover, discharge current which represents the chargedspecies production per unit of time is evaluated. In the chosen geometry and operating conditions, apost-discharge ions flux measurement method was developed. We confirm that anelectro-hydrodynamic competition controls the extraction of ions from the gap. In fact, electric fieldsand transit time control positive and negative ions densities and the ratio between them which arecritical for aerosol charging. For the post-DBD charger, ions densities decrease in the charging zone.However, this decrease does not affect the aerosol charge distribution for each particle size withconcentration. In these conditions, the post-radioactive neutralizer and post-DBD neutralizer aerosolsize measurements are compared in order to prove that the post-DBD neutralizer is available forsubmicronic aerosols sizing.
