Dans le cadre de la réduction des émissions des gaz à effet de serre, et devant l'augmentation incessante du prix de l'énergie, la course à l'amélioration des performances énergétiques touche tous les secteurs : industriel, tertiaire ou même celui des particuliers. La consommation de l'énergie électrique est due en grande partie aux moteurs électriques, et particulièrement les machines asynchrones, utilisées dans diverses applications telles que le pompage, la ventilation ou la compression. Ces machines sont caractérisées par des rendements relativement faibles et leur remplacement par des machines plus performantes permettrait un gain d'énergie non négligeable. Les machines à aimants permanent ayant pouvoir de démarrage autonome sont de bonnes candidates pour répondre à ce besoin. Elles ont de très bons rendements et les artifices supplémentaires permettant le démarreur automne suppriment la nécessité d'utiliser des convertisseurs statiques comme dans le cas des machines à aimants classiques. Des contraintes spécifiques se posent cependant pour l'utilisation et le dimensionnement de ces machines : en effet, le courant de démarrage ne doit pas être trop important à cause du risque de démagnétiser les aimants et le couple de démarrage doit être suffisamment grand pour assurer un démarrage en charge. Par ailleurs les rendement et facteurs de puissance en pleine charge doivent être assez nettement supérieurs à ceux des machines asynchrones pour les rendre plus compétitives. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions trois structures de rotor permettant de répondre à un cahier des charges donné. Ces trois structures utilisent des aimants en surface, insérés dans un rotor massif ou dans un rotor à cage. Elles ont leurs avantages et leurs inconvénients, que nous avons mis en évidence par une étude comparative assez détaillée. Cette étude comparative n'a pu être mise en oeuvre sans l'établissement de modèles en régime statique ou dynamique de ces machines ou encore de méthodologie de conception. Un prototype à échelle réduite a été dimensionné, réalisé et testé au laboratoire ; il confirme les principes de base de ce type de machines / In the context of reducing emissions of greenhouse effect, and of energy cost, the competition to improve the performances of the equipments affects all the domains. The consumption of electricity is mostly due to the electric motors, and particularly induction machines, used in various devices such as pumps, fans or compressors. These machines are characterized by relatively low efficiencies, and their replacement by more efficient machines should lead to a significant power saving. The Line-Start Permanent Magnet motors are good candidates to achieve this purpose. They have higher efficiencies and the additional devices for self-start eliminates the need of static converters, as it is normally required for conventional permanent magnet motors. Specific constraints arise for the use and the design of these machines: the starting current should not be so high to avoid the risk of the demagnetization of magnets and the starting torque must be large enough to ensure the start under load. Moreover, the efficiency and power factor at full load must be sufficiently higher than those of asynchronous machines in order to make them more competitive. In this thesis, we study three rotor structures to meet a given specification. These three structures use magnets inserted on the surface, embedded in a solid rotor or a cage rotor. They have their advantages and drawbacks that we have shown by a comparative study in some detail. This comparative study could not be implemented without the development of models in both static and dynamic conditions of these machines and a specific design methodology. A small scale of prototype has been designed, built and tested in the laboratory; it confirms the basic principles of such machines

Master’s thesis summs up issues of mounting pemanent magnets on rotor surface of permanent magnet synchronous machine. Literature reseach is divided in two parts. First one shows studies and experiments researching the impact of manufacturing tolerances of permanent magnets and wrong mounting on the rotor on cogging torque . The second part focus on analytical aproach of defining influence of permanent magnets on magnetic flux density in the air gap and phase induced voltage. Practical part focus on design of a prototype machine, wich will be used to research the impact of tolerances and imperfections. Parametric model of the prototype machine is created in Maxwell and is subjected to analysis via finite element method. Three different analysis were run, offset of permanent magnet, decrease and wrong dicertion of magnetization. At last the result of cogging torque and induced voltage are compared.

In diesem Beitrag wird eine fertigungsoptimierte Methode der Nutrastmomentreduzierung durch Magnetverschiebung am Beispiel eines Synchrongenerators für Kleinwindenergieanlagen mit in die Läuferoberfläche eingelassenen Permanentmagneten vorgestellt. Auf Grundlage der Drehfeldtheorie wird ein analytisches Berechnungsmodell unter Einbezug der Magnetverschiebung zur Bestimmung des Nutrastmoments entwickelt und mit FEM-Simulationen verifiziert. Durch experimentelle Untersuchung eines gefertigten Prototyps wird der optimierende Effekt der Magnetverschiebung nachgewiesen und mit einem Referenzläufer mit ungeschrägt, symmetrisch verteilten Polen verglichen. Abschließend werden mögliche Ursachen für die verbleibenden Abweichungen identifiziert und Ansätze für die weiteren Betrachtungen abgeleitet. / A production-optimized method of reducing cogging torque by magnet shifting using the example of a synchronous generator for small wind turbines with a rotor with inset surface magnets is proposed in this paper. On the basis of rotating field theory an analytical calculation model is developed taking into account the magnet shifting for determination of cogging torque. The analytical results are verified with FEM simulations. By experimental investigation of a manufactured prototype, the optimizing effect of magnet shifting is verified and compared to a rotor with symmetrically distributed poles. Finally, possible reasons for remaining discrepancies are identified and approaches for further considerations are presented.

Ce travail porte sur la modélisation et le dimensionnement des moteurs à aimants permanents et asynchrones destinés à la propulsion marine par POD. Un état de l’art est présenté, où les différentes topologies de moteurs pour ce type d’application y sont abordées. La Machine à aimants permanents et la machine asynchrone on été retenue pour notre application. Dans le cas de la machine à aimants permanents, une analyse par éléments finis est effectuée pour dimensionner la machine à aimants permanents et minimiser les principaux harmoniques de la FÉM. Un modèle éléments finis 2D en magnétostatique couplé à un modèle circuit est développé pour la prédiction des couples pulsatoires dues aux harmoniques du convertisseur. En ce qui concerne la machine asynchrone, Pour tenir compte des harmoniques d’espace et évaluer leurs pertes, un modèle électromagnétique utilisant la résolution par éléments finis 2D en magnétodynamique couplé à un modèle circuit est développé. Par ailleurs, un autre modèle basé sur le principe de couplage éléments finis- circuit électrique est développé pour tenir compte des harmoniques de temps du variateur, ce modèle permet d’évaluer à la fois les pertes dues aux harmoniques de temps, mais aussi des couples pulsatoires. Dans la phase de validation et vérification des différents calculs, nous avons utilisé l’outil Flux2D de calcul par éléments finis qui tient compte de la rotation du rotor (pas à pas dans le temps) et effectué certaines mesures (cas de la machine à aimants permanents). Les résultats des calculs obtenus par les modèles développés concordent avec ceux obtenus par la méthode temporelle (pas à pas dans le temps) et les quelques mesures dont nous disposons / This work concerns the modeling and the design of the permanent magnets and asynchronous motors intended for POD ship propulsion. A state of the art is presented, where various topologies of motors designed for this application are approached there. The permanent magnet motor and the induction motor have been chosen for the application. For the permanent magnets motor, a finite element analysis is adopted to design and minimize the main harmonics leading to a quasi sinusoidal back EMF. A finite element model coupled to an electrical circuit allows to predict both current and torque waveforms including time harmonics knowing the voltage waveform of the inverter. The induction motor is designed in such a way to have minimum losses and pulsating torque. For this purpose, a 2D complex finite element method coupled to an electrical circuit is developed. In addition, another 2D finite element-electrical circuit model is proposed to evaluate time harmonics losses and to reconstitute the current and torque waveforms. This model allows to predict the pulsating torques. The validation and verification step is done by using a time stepping finite element software Flux2D and some available measurements (for the permanent magnets motor). The comparison of the calculations obtained by the different methods and software, as well as the available measurements is satisfactory

The dissertation thesis deal with the design and the optimization of the permanent magnet synchronous machine (SMPM) based on the artificial intelligence. The main target is to apply potential optimization methods on the design procedure of the machine and evaluate the effectiveness of optimization and the optimization usefulness. In general, the optimization of the material properties (NdFeB or SmCo), the efficiency maximization with given nominal input parameters, the cogging torque elimination are proposed. Moreover, the magnet shape optimization, shape of the air gap and the shape of slots were also performed. The well known Genetic algorithm and Self-Organizing migrating algorithm produced in Czech were presented and applied on the particular optimization issues. The basic principles (iterations) and definitions (penalty function and cost function) of proposed algorithms are demonstrated on the examples. The results of the vibration generator optimization (VG) with given power 7mW (0.1g acceleration) and the results of the SMPM 1,1kW (6 krpm) optimization are practically evaluated in the collaboration with industry. Proposed methods are useful for the optimization of PM machines and they are further theoretically applied on the low speed machine (10 krpm) optimization and high speed machine (120 krpm) optimization.

This master thesis aims to develop a test methodology for electromechanical linear actuators. A linear actuator acts as a linear motor, converting a power source to linear motion. The electromechanical linear actuator in this project has an electric motor as its power source and uses a rack and pinion system to transfer that power to linear motion.  The test methodology is to impose a force onto the rack of the actuator, to ensure that operation under a load scenario is within specification. To accomplish this, the design of a test rig implementation is analyzed. The test rig consists of the test unit, which is to be tested, the load unit, which is to provide the load force, and a control system for the load unit. The load unit is another linear actuator and is controlled via a load cell. The load cell gives out the load force being applied, and the controller gives out the corresponding appropriate motor command to the load unit to ensure the load force is as desired. This analysis is done through simulation of the setup. Viable options for the setup were first analyzed in order to implement the deemed promising options for a setup into a simulation environment. The simulation environment in this project was Simscape, an extension of MATLAB’s Simulink. In simulation the parameters for the test rig were rigorously analyzed, in order to determine acceptable thresholds. The primary load unit tested was another electromechanical linear actuator from Cascade Drives, the model A-100-8P. Two secondary setups, one using the same model as being tested, and another setup using two of the models being tested. Simulation found that the suggested options’ applied load force have a poor rise time, large overshoot and substantial oscillation errors. The primary source for this was determined to be the latency between load cell input, and motor command output in the controller. The poor metrics from the result could lead to problems when emergency braking, and with a long honing period, which would render most test data unusable.
