Este trabalho apresenta a aplicação da teoria de Controle Robusto H-infinito em modelo não linear de sistema de suspensão ativa com Atuador Tubular de Ímã Permanente (ATIP). Os principais objetivos na aplicação dos sistemas ativos de suspensão são a obtenção de melhores níveis de conforto do usuário e dirigibilidade do veículo em relação aos sistemas de suspensão passivo e semi-ativo, e a manutenção dos limites de deslocamento da suspensão. Inicialmente, são apresentados os modelos de suspensão ativa de um quarto de carro e carro completo, utilizados respectivamente como planta para o projeto dos controladores H-infinito e como modelo para as simulações dos sistemas de suspensão em malha fechada. Em seguida, o conjunto de controladores H-infinito e desenvolvido, baseado em especificações de projeto definidas, para posterior avaliação e comparação dos sistemas projetados. Verificações de robustez dos sistemas de suspensão ativos, utilizando-se da Análise-µ como ferramenta de avaliação, são feitas em conjunto com as análises de desempenho de cada sistema. A avaliação de desempenho dos sistemas é realizada tanto no domínio do tempo (avaliando-se angulações, velocidades, acelerações, defexões e energia do sistema) quanto no domínio da frequência (através da análise de densidade espectral de potência, ou Power Spectral Density (PSD), das acelerações verticais do veículo e do esforço de controle do atuador). A excitação do sistema é realizada por meio de distúrbios impostos às posições das rodas, dos tipos determinístico e estocástico, representativos de condições reais da aplicação de um veículo. O conjunto de controladores desenvolvido neste trabalho apresenta resultados satisfatórios para distúrbios de entrada do tipo determinísticos e estocásticos, com ganhos de desempenho dos sistemas de suspensão ativa em relação ao sistema passivo de referência de até 34; 92% para a métrica de avaliação do conforto do usuário, de 17; 23% para a métrica da manutenção da dirigibilidade, e de 43; 48% e 30; 10% para as métricas das acelerações dos ângulos de arfagem e de rolagem da carroceria, respectivamente. / This work presents the application of the H-infinity robust control theory into a non-linear model of active suspension system with a Tubular Permanent Magnet Actuator (TPMA). The main objectives in the application of the active suspension systems are the achievement of greater levels of comfort to the user and of road holding for the vehicle, when compared to the passive and semi-active suspension systems, besides the maintenance of suspension displacement limits. Initially are presented the active suspension models of a quarter-car and of a full-car, used respectively as a plant for the design of the H-infinity controllers and as a model for the simulations of the closed loop suspension systems. In the sequel, the controllers are developed, based on properly defined specifications, for further evaluation and comparison among the systems designed. Robustness verications of the active suspension systems, using the µ-Analysis as assessment tool, are performed together with the performance analysis of each system. The performance evaluation of the systems is performed both in the time domain (assessing angles, speeds, accelerations, dections and the energy of the system) and in the frequency domain (through the analysis of Power Spectral Density (PSD) of vertical accelerations of the vehicle and the control efort of the actuator). The excitation of the system is carried out by means of disturbances imposed to the vertical wheel\'s positions. Those disturbances are of deterministic and stochastic types, which are representatives of real working conditions of the vehicle. The set of controllers developed in this work presents satisfactory results for both deterministic and stochastic input disturbances, with performance gains of the active suspension systems in relation to the passive system of reference up to 34; 92%, 17; 23%, 43; 48% and 30; 10% respectively to the assessment metrics of user comfort, handling maintenance and acceleration of the pitch and roll angles of the chassis.

Neste trabalho é estudado um motor trifásico de ímã permanente no rotor, com fluxo não senoidal, através da análise do campo magnético. Essa máquina foi projetada utilizando-se a estrutura ferromagnética do estator de um motor de indução monofásico de 24 ranhuras o qual recebeu um novo enrolamento trifásico, e foi construído o rotor que é constituído de ímãs permanentes em sua superfície. Ela é aplicada em compressores herméticos de refrigeração, possibilitando o controle de velocidade e a melhoria da eficiência, quando comparada às demais máquinas utilizadas para a mesma aplicação. O estudo é realizado através da análise dos resultados obtidos utilizando-se um programa computacional baseado no método dos elementos finitos, aplicado em grandezas como: tensão induzida, densidade de fluxo magnético, torque eletromagnético e perdas. São apresentados resultados numéricos comparativos para a máquina existente (protótipo) com as seguintes alterações: diminuição do tamanho do entreferro, troca dos ímãs de ferrita pelos de NdFeB (Bonded) e, juntamente com essas mudanças, o recálculo do número de espiras e do diâmetro do enrolamento do estator. / In this work is studied a three-phase permanent-magnet motor, with nonsinusoidal flux, through the analysis of magnetic field. This machine was designed to use the same stator of a 24 slots single-phase induction motor that received a new three-phase winding. The rotor consists of permanent-magnet on its surface. The main application of this machine is in hermetic compressor household refrigeration systems. It has speed control and better efficiency than other machines used for the same application. The study is made through the analysis of numerical results, obtained by a software joint in the finite element method. The results consist in electromagnetic quantity like, back-emf, magnetic flux density, electromagnetic torque and losses. Comparisons between the prototype with these changes are presented: fall in the size of airgap, exchange of ferrite magnets for NdFeB (Bonded) magnets and, together with these changes, the number of turns in each winding and the wire diameter are recalculated.

Dans les systèmes mécaniques ou mécatroniques, les actionneurs sont les composants utilisés pour convertir l’énergie d’entrée, généralement l’énergie électrique, en tâche mécanique telles que le mouvement, la force ou une combinaison des deux. Actionneur analogique et actionneur numérique sont les deux types d’actionneurs les plus communs. Les actionneurs numériques possèdent les avantages du contrôle en boucle ouverte, faible consommation d’énergie par rapport aux actionneurs analogiques. Cependant, les actionneurs numériques présentent deux inconvénients majeurs. Les erreurs de fabrication de ces actionneurs doivent être contrôlées précisément parce que, contrairement à des actionneurs analogiques, une erreur de fabrication ne peut pas être compensée par la loi de commande. Un autre inconvénient est leur capacité à réaliser les tâches continues en raison de leur corse discrète. Un assemblage de plusieurs actionneurs numériques peut néanmoins réaliser des tâches multiples discrètes. Cette thèse porte sur la caractérisation et l’optimisation d’une conception expérimentale actionneurs tableau numériques pour l’application planaire de transport. Le premier objectif principal de la présente thèse est axé sur la caractérisation de l’ensemble des actionneurs existants et aussi une application planaire de transport sur la base du tableau des actionneurs. A cette fin, une modélisation de la matrice des actionneurs essais expérimentaux ont été effectués afin de déterminer l’influence de certains paramètres sur le comportement des actionneurs de tableau. Le deuxième objectif est de concevoir une nouvelle version du tableau actionneurs sur la base de l’expérience du premier prototype. Une optimisation de la conception a ensuite été réalisée en utilisant des techniques d’algorithmes génétiques tout en tenant compte de plusieurs critères. / In mechanical or mechatronical systems, actuators are the components used to convert input energy, generally electrical energy, into mechanical tasks such as motion, force or a combination of both. Analogical actuator and digital actuator are two common types of actuators. Digital actuators have the advantages of open-loop control, low energy consumption and etc compared to analogical actuators. However, digital actuators present two main drawbacks. The manufacturing errors of these actuators have to be precisely controlled because, unlike to analogical actuators, a manufacturing error cannot be compensated using the control law. Another drawback is their inability to realize continuous tasks because of their discrete stroke. An assembly of several digital actuators can nevertheless realize multi-discrete tasks. This thesis focuses on the experimental characterization and optimization design of a digital actuators array for planar conveyance application. The firs main objective of the present thesis is focused on the characterization of the existing actuators array and also a planar conveyance application based on the actuators array. For that purpose, a modeling of the actuators array and experimental test has been carried out in order to determine the influence of some parameters on the actuators array behavior. The second objective is to design a new version of the actuators array based on the experience of the first prototype. An optimization of the design has then been realized using genetic algorithm techniques while considering several criteria.

The number of electrical machines used in modern road-vehicles is continuously increasing to meet regulatory requirements regarding safety and efficiency, as well as consumer expectations in terms of comfort. For auxiliary applications, such as cooling fan or pumps, permanent-magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are extensively used owing to their high power density. This thesis focuses on the modelling aspects of PMSMs, with a particular focus on finite-element and reduced-order models to be used in system-level simulations. 2-D and 3-D parametric finite-element (FE) models are developed, allowing to compute irreversible demagnetization in addition to the standard quantities such as torque, back electromotive force and flux-linkages. The effects of magnet overhang on the performance of an interior PMSM is briefly discussed. Using the FE model, a reduced-order lookup-table (LUT) based electromagnetic model, having similar accuracy as FE analysis, is then developed. Coupled to a mechanical state-space representation obtained from a modal FE analysis, the final model allows to compute electromagnetic induced vibrations under pulse width modulation supply. The validation of the complete workflow is carried out on a 12slot-10pole PMSM used to drive a cooling fan. After fitting the damping coefficient in the structural state-space model, the results are in agreement with the experimental results. Due to the usage of LUTs, the simulation time is low compared to a pure FE analysis. This allows the model to be used to optimize low noise control strategies. To conclude this thesis, the parametric FE model is used in an optimization routine to minimize the cost and vibrations of the motor, whilst satisfying the working points. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

The main objective of the master`s thesis was to prove, if permanent magnet synchronous generator made by company JULI Motorenwerk s.r.o. could reach higher maximum active power with active rectifier than with six-pulse bridge rectifier. For this reason a mathematical model was made in Matlab/Simulink. The influence of the rectifiers with various kinds of loading was observed and compared by simulations on output variables, like line-to-line voltage and active power.

The research for electric vehicles has been growing during last years and the development of electric drive trains can be considered a main challenge. This thesis presents the electric drive train of the research concept vehicle (RCV) 2013, with particular focus on electric machines, motor controllers, and the communication system. In the first part of this thesis, the electric drive train configuration and components are described. In-wheel motors are proposed which is a permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). This technology allows the use of autonomous corner modules (ACM) increasing the quality and safety of the system. Each of the four in-wheel motors has a controller enabling the use of torque or speed control mode. Furthermore, a dSPACE unit provides the total control of the system by CAN bus. Additionally, the dSPACE ControlDesk interface used to control the drive system is presented. In the second part, the heat sink of the AC Drive is investigated by measurements and analytical calculations. Furthermore, the motor temperature at different loads is also presented and discussed. Finally, the efficiency of an in-wheel motor (PRA 230) is studied. Also the efficiency of the motor controller is estimated and discussed.
