Dans les systèmes embarqués, les actionneurs électriques remplacent de plus en plus les actionneurs hydrauliques pour des raisons de compacité et de manœuvrabilité. Cependant, il est nécessaire que ces actionneurs électriques soient au moins aussi fiables ou disponibles que leurs homologues hydrauliques. Il faut donc choisir les topologies d'alimentation et d'entraînement adaptées pour ces actionneurs de sorte que le système d'actionnement puisse être reconfiguré en cas de défaillance dans la chaîne de conversion électromécanique. Pour qu'en cas d'apparition d'une panne, la continuité de service puisse être assurée, il est important que différents types de défaut d'un actionneur puisse être détectés à temps. Dans ce mémoire nous avons développé deux aspects de la continuité de service des machines synchrones à aimants permanents. Le premier concerne la commande sans capteur des actionneurs synchrones à aimants permanents, avec l’amélioration de sa robustesse, puis ensuite nous montrons comment cette commande peut-être utilisée de façon fiable pour assurer la continuité de service en cas de perte du capteur mécanique. Le deuxième aspect abordé est la détection de défaut d'isolation inter-spires des bobines statoriques des machines synchrones à aimants permanents commandées par un onduleur de tension en régulation de courant ou en régulation de vitesse. Dans un premier temps nous proposons un modèle de machine présentant le type de défaut à détecter et en déduisons deux méthodes. Ces deux méthodes exploitent le déséquilibre de la machine, elles sont vérifiées expérimentalement. Une troisième méthode basée sur l’estimation de résistance est présentée. Ces trois méthodes sont des méthodes fonctionnant « en ligne » et ne nécessitant pas de capteur supplémentaire par rapport à une commande classique / In embedded systems, electric actuators tend to replace hydraulic ones for compactness and manoeuvrability reasons. However, these electric actuators should be as reliable as hydraulic ones. For these actuators, adapted power topologies should be chosen in order to operate even if a failure occurs in the electromechanical conversion chain. To ensure the continuity of service in fault case, different kinds of actuator’s failures should be detected in time. Obviously, the detection methods should be adapted to the fault types. In this work, we developed two aspects related to the continuity of service, the first one on the sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM), its robustness and its application in mechanical sensor loss case. The second one deals with the detection of inter-turn insulation fault in stator windings of permanent magnets synchronous machines supply by voltage inverter. In a first time a PMSM model with inter-turn fault is developed, this model allows us to propose two detection methods. Both methods are based on the electric unbalance of the machine and are experimentally validated. Finally a third method based on resistance estimation is presented. These three methods are real time methods and no extra sensor is needed for a standard control

La révolution technologique majeure des nouveaux aéronefs repose sur une électrification intensive de nombreux constituants de l'appareil et le fait que la vitesse des génératrices électriques n'est plus fixe mais variable. Cette nouvelle manière de générer la puissance électrique engendre des variations de tension sur les réseaux DC. De plus, pour accroître la compacité des Machines Synchrones à Aimants Permanents (MSAP) à puissance donnée, on augmente autant que possible leur vitesse d'entrainement, en les associant pour certaines applications à des réducteurs mécaniques. La variation du niveau de tension du bus DC alimentant une MSAP haute vitesse implique son dimensionnement afin d'assurer sa contrôlabilité sur toute la plage de vitesse reportant d'importantes contraintes sur l'onduleur de tension. Pour pallier ce problème, une solution consiste à intercaler un convertisseur DC/DC entre le filtre d'entrée et l'onduleur de tension pour maintenir la tension DC d'entrée de l'onduleur à une valeur adaptée au fonctionnement de la MSAP et optimiser son dimensionnement. Cependant, cette solution augmente l'ordre du système, ce qui accroît la complexité de son contrôle, accentuée par les contraintes liées à la nature haute-fréquence des MSAP considérées.Les travaux menés dans cette thèse concernent l'étude, l'optimisation et le contrôle des structures d'alimentation des actionneurs haute vitesse connectés aux réseaux DC avioniques à tension variable. Il en résulte que pour les applications avioniques considérées, ces architectures d'alimentation intégrant un convertisseur DC/DC supplémentaire permettent de réduire sa masse et son volume sans dégrader le rendement global de la chaîne de conversion notamment avec les convertisseurs à source impédante qui permettent de supprimer structurellement les ondulations de courant en entrée du convertisseur. De plus, des stratégies de commande Pulse Amplitude Modulation employées avec des architectures de contrôle non-linéaires (platitude, passivité) permettent d'assurer le contrôle de ces MSAP haute-vitesse tout en assurant leur stabilité sur toute la plage de fonctionnement / The main technological revolution of the new aircrafts is based on intensive electrification of many components of the aircraft. Moreover, the speed of electrical generators is no longer fixed but variable. This new way of generating electrical power generates voltage variations on DC networks. Besides, to increase the compactness of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSM) at a given power, their mechanical speed is increased as much as possible by combining them with mechanical reducers for certain applications. The variation of the voltage level of the DC bus supplying a high-speed PMSM implies its sizing in order to ensure its controllability over the entire speed range which carries significant stresses on the Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). To solve this problem, one solution consists in adding an extra DC / DC converter between the input filter and the VSI to maintain the inverter input voltage at a value adapted to the operating point of the PMSM and to optimize its dimensioning. However, this solution increases the order of the system, which increases the complexity of its control, accentuated by the constraints related to the high-frequency nature of the PMSMs considered. The work carried out in this thesis concerns the study, the optimization and the control of the power supply architecture of the high-speed actuators connected to variable-voltage avionic DC networks. As a result, for the avionics applications considered, these power supply architectures integrating an additional DC / DC converter make it possible to reduce the mass and the volume of the power supply structure without degrading the overall efficiency of the conversion chain, in particular by using the impedance-source converters which allow to cancel the DC input current ripples. In addition, Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) control strategies used with non-linear control architectures (flatness, passivity) make it possible to control these high-speed PMSMs while ensuring their stability over the entire operating range

For frequency and voltage stability studies it is necessary to know equipment such as voltage and frequency regulators, consequently the mathematical modeling of several components is presented as dynamic as the excitation system, power system stabilizer (PSS) , speed regulation system, voltage regulation system (AVR), synchronous machine, steam turbine and hydraulic turbine. We need the modeling of them to design their respective controllers. In this investigation we also do the introduction to the Fuzzy controller and conventional PID controller as well as the tuning methods then we designed a controller that combines the two controllers and has more advantages as the hybrid PID-Fuzzy controller. After developing the modeling of the voltage and frequency regulator, we design the PID-Fuzzy controller, previously designed the PID control. The simulations of the voltage and frequency regulation systems without controller, with PID controller and with PID-Fuzzy controller were performed applying the Matlab-Simulink computational tool in the continuous time domain and the answers were investigated and discussed. / Mestre

After decades of routine operation, the hydropower industry faces new challenges. Large-scale integration of other renewable sources of generation in the power system accentuates the role of hydropower as a regulating resource. At the same time, an extensive reinvestment programme has commenced where many old components and apparatus are being refurbished or replaced. Introduction of new technical solutions in existing power plants requires good systems knowledge and careful consideration. Important tools for research, development and analysis are suitable mathematical models, numerical simulation methods and laboratory equipment. This doctoral thesis is devoted to studies of the electromechanical interaction between hydropower units and the power system. The work encompasses development of mathematical models, empirical methods for system identification, as well as numerical and experimental studies of hydropower generator and power system interaction. Two generator modelling approaches are explored: one based on electromagnetic field theory and the finite element method, and one based on equivalent electric circuits. The finite element model is adapted for single-machine infinite-bus simulations by the addition of a network equivalent, a mechanical equation and a voltage regulator. Transient simulations using both finite element and equivalent circuit models indicate that the finite element model typically overestimates the synchronising and damping properties of the machine. Identification of model parameters is performed both numerically and experimentally. A complete set of equivalent circuit parameters is identified through finite element simulation of standard empirical test methods. Another machine model is identified experimentally through frequency response analysis. An extension to the well-known standstill frequency response (SSFR) test is explored, which involves measurement and analysis of damper winding quantities. The test is found to produce models that are suitable for transient power system analysis. Both experimental and numerical studies show that low resistance of the damper winding interpole connections are vital to achieve high attenuation of rotor angle oscillations. Hydropower generator and power system interaction is also studied experimentally during a full-scale startup test of the Nordic power system, where multiple synchronised data acquisition devices are used for measurement of both electrical and mechanical quantities. Observation of a subsynchronous power oscillation leads to an investigation of the torsional stability of hydropower units. In accordance with previous studies, hydropower units are found to be mechanically resilient to subsynchronous power oscillations. However, like any other generating unit, they are dependent on sufficient electrical and mechanical damping. Two experimentally obtained hydraulic damping coefficients for a large Francis turbine runner are presented in the thesis.

In order to reduce emissions and achieve sustainable energy systems, renewable energy is increasingly being integrated into the power grid. However, the integration of renewable energy into the grid poses several challenges, including maintaining a stable power supply under changing and unpredictable conditions. Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) assesses a generator's ability to maintain stable voltage during grid voltage drops, which is crucial for renewables due to their low inertia and vulnerability to voltage disruptions caused by changes in wind or sunlight. LVRT requirements are defined by regional grid codes and regulations, which vary in their diversity. A study was conducted using Matlab Simulink to model and simulate the LVRT phenomenon on Siemens Energy's medium gas turbine generator. The entire power system generation system was simulated to observe the system's response and the generator's behavior during LVRT events. A previous gas turbine power plant project in Romania, delivered by Siemens Energy in Finspång, was simulated for analysis and compared against the grid code requirements. The findings indicated that the Siemens Energy gas turbine model SGT-750 satisfies the Romanian LVRT grid code requirements.
