The purpose of this dissertation is to design identification methods for identifying a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The whole identification and motor control is carried out in d-q coordinates, and the program used for processing and control was the matlab simulink, together with the real time platform DSpace. The work focuses on two main areas of identification, off-line identification and on-line identification. For offline identification the frequency analysis was used with the lock rotor test to get three main parameters. They are the quadrature and direct inductances and stator resistance. In the online mode, the identified parameters were extended to magnet flux _f identified by MRAS method. The remaining parameters were again identified by frequency analysis, which was adapted into online mode, and simultaneously applied to the identification of several part in one time. The next method is Newton method, which is used for estimating stator resistance of the motor, without the need to apply any signal.

When developing three phase motor drives, the best way to validate the desiredfunctionality is to connect the inverter to an actual electrical motor. However, when developingfunctions which are not directly involved in controlling the motor, it could bemore efficient to use a real-time software model of the motor. In this master thesis, the developmentand implementation of a software model of a permanent magnet synchronousmotor (PMSM) is presented. This model was based on general dynamic equations forPMSM in a rotating reference frame (dq-frame). The model was simulated and convertedto C code using model based software development in Mathworks Simulink. To providemore realistic performance of the model, a finite element analysis (FEA) was done of anactual PMSM using the software tool FEMM. This analysis resulted in data describingthe relation between flux linkage and current which, when added into to software model,limits the produced torque due to magnetic saturation. Both the FEMM model and thefinal software model was compared to a corresponding actual motor for validation andperformance testing. All this resulted in a fully functional software model which was executableon the inverter. In the comparison of FEMM model to the real motor, a deviationin produced torque was discovered. This led to the conclusion that the model needed to beimproved to perform more alike the real motor. However, for this application the modelwas considered good enough to be used in future software development projects. / N¨ar kontrollsystem till trefasmotorer utvecklas s°a ¨ar det mest vanliga och troligendet b¨asta s¨attet f¨or funktionsvalidering att k¨ora drivenheten kopplad mot en riktig elektriskmotor.

Permanent magnet (PM) machines offer several advantages in traction applications such as high efficiencyand high torque per volume ratio. The iron losses in these machines are estimated mostly with empiricallaws taken from other types of machines or with finite element simulations (FEM). In the first part of thisthesis the objective is to define an accurate analytical model for the stator yoke, teeth and rotor of a PMmotor which should work well enough for all operating point (different loads and frequency).This analytical model is found using an iterative process. After building a loss matrix and flux matrix basedon FEM simulations, it is possible to curve fit each of the lines or the rows of the matrix in order to achievethe best fitting for every operating point. This is a very new approach; it was shown that it gives thepossibility, even with a very limited number of FEM simulations, to achieve an accurate estimation of thelosses.The second part of this report focuses on optimizing this analytical method, comparing it with otherpossibilities, analyzing limits and advantages. Special attention is also given to the effects of the losses onthe temperatures in different parts of the machine. In the last part of the thesis, the analytical model isused to test a new control strategy. Its goal is to reduce the total losses of the motor and optimize the ratiobetween torque and total losses for a given driving cycle.

The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) have wide application in the robotics field due to its efficiency and reliability. As a servo system, it demands high precision in different control applications. Torque ripple is a critical issue resulting in mechanical vibrations and shortening the life of PMSMs, especially at low speeds. Because the magnitude of speed harmonics is proportional to the magnitude of the torque harmonics of the same order, methods to reduce speed harmonics can be utilized for torque ripple minimization. This thesis work proposes three methods for torque ripple reduction. One method is based on harmonic speed control (HSC) and harmonic current control (HCC). Another method uses the fuzzy to adjust PI parameters based on HSC-HCC. The third method utilizes torque ripple estimation (TRE) and HCC. In the proposed methods, torque ripples are estimated using a torque ripple model (TRM). At low speeds, speed harmonics and current harmonics are obtained based on an adaptive linear neural-based filter. The errors between the optimal harmonic current reference from HSC or TRE and the harmonic current from extraction are used to generate harmonic voltage in HCC. This harmonic voltage is fed back to compensate and reduce torque ripple. Furthermore, a feedforward compensation method is proposed to minimize torque ripple across a range of speeds based on the feedback compensation results. Finally, simulations and experiments are carried out to demonstrate the validity and performance of the proposed torque ripple reduction methods.

Cette thèse s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet Compacité qui vise à développer un compresseur électrique pour véhicules électriques à l’aide d’une démarche mécatronique. Dans cette thématique, le rôle du LGEP est de développer la partie électromécanique du compresseur. Cette thèse est constituée de deux parties, la première concerne la conception d’un moteur pour le compresseur et la deuxième a trait à la commande sans capteur mécanique de ce moteur. La première partie de la thèse est d'abord consacrée au dimensionnement d'une machine électrique pour un compresseur électrique. Le cahier des charges impose une machine compacte (97mm de diamètre et une profondeur inférieure à 50mm) et ayant une puissance massique élevée (6kW pour une masse de 1.8kg). Au préalable, un modèle analytique a été développé pour effectuer un dimensionnement rapide. Par la suite, la méthode des éléments finis a été appliquée à différents modèles physiques (magnétique, thermique, mécanique (résistance des matériaux et vibration)) pour une étude approfondie de la structure choisie. A l'issue de ces études, un prototype et un banc expérimental ont été réalisés. Dans un second temps, des algorithmes de commande avec ou sans capteur mécanique ont été étudiés pour le pilotage du moteur. La particularité de cette deuxième partie de thèse est la réalisation d'une commande peu gourmande en temps de calcul et implantable dans des microcontrôleurs de faibles performances. A l'issue de cette partie, une nouvelle loi de commande appelée commande passive échantillonnée ainsi qu'un observateur adaptatif étendu (observateur fondé sur l'estimation des fem) ont été développés et testés sur un banc expérimental. / This thesis is part of the project Compacite which aims to develop an electric compressor for electrical vehicles using a mechatronic approach. In this way, the LGEP contribution is to develop the electromechanical part of the compressor.The document is divided in two parts: the first one is related to the design of the motor and the second part is dedicated to the sensorless control.In the first part, the electromagnetic design is proposed to comply with the industrial constraints according to the compressor operation. The specifications require a compact motor (external diameter equal to 97 mm and an active depth less than 50 mm) and a good power/mass ratio (6 kW for a weight of 1.8 kg). At first the design is based on an analytical model in order to obtain a fast sizing. Thereafter the finite element method is used for multiphysical studies (magnetic, thermal and mechanical (in terms of strength of materials and vibration)). A prototype is built and characterized on a test bench. In the second part, some algorithmic control laws have been developed with sensor and sensorless control. In this part a particular control law (sampled data passivity based control) with a low algorithmic cost has been developed for driven the motor and has been validated on the test bench. At the end an observer based on the estimation of the electromotive force is used for sensorless control and validated on the test bench.

The Martin Aircraft Company Limited has been developing the Martin Jetpack for over 25 years. The recent worldwide launch of the Jetpack has enabled the company to step up its research and development programme. The goal of this project was to determine the feasibility of an electrically powered version of the Martin Jetpack. The feasibility of the Electric Jetpack was determined by researching energy storage technologies, researching power cable technologies, simulations of flight times, surveys of electric motors, and the development of a simulation program which was used to optimise some preliminary custom motor designs. The overall conclusion of this project was that the Electric Jetpack was feasible only when it was powered through a tethered power cable, and on-board energy storage was not used. An investigation into current energy storage technologies showed that the Electric Jetpack is not considered feasible when using on-board energy storage, however it is possible to obtain flight for a very short time. The energy storage technologies studied were batteries, fuel cells, and ultra-capacitors. It was found that the best performing technology was the lithium iron nano-phosphate battery. A simulation of flight time showed that this battery type would be able to provide flight for approximately 3.6 minutes. Future trends indicated that the Electric Jetpack with on-board energy storage may eventually be feasible when using a lithium-ion based battery due to improvements being made in energy density and power density. By using a tethered power cable, the weight of the on-board energy storage could be eliminated. This was shown to be a feasible method for powering the Electric Jetpack for applications where the Jetpack needs to only be operated in a small area. The best cable type to use was a multi-stranded flexible cable operating at a high DC bus voltage. The weight of a 5 meter power cable using a 1000 V bus voltage was shown to be 4.9 kg. Potential applications for this kind of Jetpack could include thrill rides and rescue operations from multi-storied buildings. A cable made from carbon nanotubes was shown to be a future technology that could offer a lighter cable. A survey of currently available electric motors showed that none met both the power density and speed required by the Electric Jetpack, even when using a tethered power cable to eliminate the energy storage weight. Because of this, a custom motor design was needed. Research into motor technologies showed that the permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motor was the most suited type for the Electric Jetpack. The permanent magnet brushless AC (PMBLAC) motor was also suitable. A PMBLDC motor simulation program was developed using MATLAB which could be used to optimise preliminary custom designs. A characterisation of allowable motor time constants for the PMBLDC motor type was made in order to speed up the simulation time. The optimisation results showed that a power density of 5.41 kW/kg was achievable for the motor when it was located inside the ducted fan tubes, and a power density of 6.56 kW/kg was achievable when the motor was located outside the ducted fans and operated at a higher speed. The motor designs were shown to be within the expected torque per unit rotor volume (TRV) range for aerospace machines. The best power density figures would leave between 37 kg and 42 kg of weight for the motor driver/controller, cable weight, and miscellaneous motor parts. This was considered to be feasible. An FEM simulation was made on one of the optimised motor designs. The FEM results agreed with the parametric results within reasonable accuracy. The parametric back-EMF waveform over-estimated the effects of slotting.

Le développement des véhicules hybrides et électriques s’est intensifié ces dernières années, face aux problématiques environnementales et économiques. Afin que les performances de ces derniers soient comparables à celle d’un véhicule à moteur thermique, de nombreuses avancées technologiques sont indispensables. Le déploiement de véhicule entièrement à traction électrique, ne serait être réalisable, sans des infrastructures de recharge adaptées. Cette thèse constitue une contribution à l’étude d’un chargeur de batteries intégré au véhicule électrique, dans le cadre du projet SOFRACI.L'architecture de ce chargeur entièrement réversible sert également pour la traction du véhicule. L’utilisation de tous les éléments y compris le moteur de traction pour les deux fonctions, réduit l’encombrement et le coût de la structure. L’objectif principal consiste à modéliser le système de conversion alternatif-continu du chargeur et à établir les lois de commandes.Lors de la première phase de l’étude, une attention particulière a été portée à l’utilisation des enroulements de la machine en tant qu’inductance de filtrage du convertisseur. Un modèle correspondant à ce fonctionnement a été obtenu et a permis de mettre en évidence un couplage magnétique existant entre les diverses phases.En s’appuyant sur les modèles obtenues, la seconde étape a consisté à définir les stratégies de commande. Deux méthodes ont été employées. La première, par le biais d’une transformation a permis de se ramener dans un repère, où la majorité des termes de couplage ont été éliminés. Pour l’autre méthode, tous les éléments du couplage ont été considérés. Pour chacune de ces stratégies, des correcteurs PI et RST fondés sur le placement de pôles robustes ont été dimensionnés pour garantir la stabilité du système.Une part importante du travail a été consacrée à la réalisation d’un banc d’essai expérimental reconstituant la conversion alternative-continue. Compte tenu des différences de dynamiques des grandeurs asservies, une carte FPGA et un processeur ont été utilisés. L’exploitation de ce moyen d’essai a permis de comparer et de valider les lois de commande développées. / Environmental constraints and reduction of fossil fuels resources have led industrials and laboratories to search for alternative solutions in the transportation domain. For the last few years, several vehicles or planes functions have been gradually electrified, up to their complete electrification. This thesis presents an AC/DC converter integrated in an Electric Vehicle (EV) for the charger application. The conversion is realized by using the electric traction powertrain, in order to reduce the global cost and increase compactness where a specific motor has been design.During the first phase of the study, a model of the motor used as filtering inductances has been obtained and allowed to highlight an existing magnetic coupling between the motor’s phases.The second step was to define control strategies. Two methods were used. The first one, by a transformation allowed eliminating the majority of the coupling term. In the other method, all coupling elements have been considered. For each strategies, IP and RST controllers based on robust pole placement were designed to ensure system stability.An important part of the work was devoted to the realization of an experimental test bench for AC-DC conversion. A FPGA and a processor were used for control implementation. The control laws has been compared and validated thanks to the experimental platform.

Este trabalho trata de um estudo teórico sobre o MMPI. Inicialmente, apre-sentamos um levantamento bibliográfico sobre o MMPI evidenciando os seus aspectos construtivos, seu funcionamento, suas características operacionais e suas possíveis aplicações. Em seguida, elaboramos um modelo físico fundamentado nas teorias do Motor de Indução Duplamente Alimentado (MIDA) e do Motor de Histerese (MH), o qual agrega as principais características operacionais do MMPI e reproduz o processo dinâmico de inscrição de pólos na periferia do rotor. A partir deste modelo físico propomos um modelo matemático, baseado na teoria dos circuitos magneticamente acoplados, constituído pelo equacionamento do MIDA, do MH e das fontes de alimentação do estator e do rotor. Deduzimos teoricamente todos os parâmetros necessários para a simulação computacional. Executamos a sua simulação computacional no software Matlab/SimulinkTM, cujos resultados ilustram o comportamento dinâmico das suas tensões, correntes, fluxos e mecânica. Comparando-se os resultados obtidos na simulação computacional com testes laboratoriais executados pelo CE-PEL, concluímos que o modelo matemático proposto e os parâmetros deduzidos podem ser considerados validados. Finalizando, sugerimos um motor monofásico de pólos lisos a imãs permanentes como uma alternativa mais simples do ponto de vista construtivo, porém com características operacionais semelhantes às do MMPI. / This work deals with a theoretical study on Written-PoleTM single-phase motor. Initially, we present the results from the bibliographical research on the Written-PoleTM motor, evidencing its constructional features, operation process, operational characteristics and some possible applications. Afterwards, we elaborate a physical model based in the theories of the doubly fed induction motor and the hysteresis motor, which incorporates the operational characteristic of Written-PoleTM motor and reproduces the written-pole dynamic process. Starting from this physical model we propose a mathematical model, based on the theory of the magnetically coupled circuits, constituted by the set of differential equations deduced from the doubly fed induction motor, the hysteresis motor and the stator and rotor voltage sources. We deduced theoretically all the computational simulation necessary parameters. We perform its computational simulation in the software Matlab/SimulinkTM, whose results illustrate the dynamic behavior of its voltages, currents, fluxes, torques and speed. Comparing the results obtained from the computational simulation with the CEPEL\'s test results, we concluded that the proposed mathematical model and the deduced parameters can be considered validated. Finally, we suggest a permanent-magnet smooth-pole single-phase motor as an alternative to Written-PoleTM motor. This alternative, even being simpler from the constructional point-of-view, presents operational characteristics similar to the Written-PoleTM single-phase motor.

Le problème de la commande sans capteur mécanique de la machine synchrone à aimants permanents (MSAP) est un problème très étudié dans le domaine de l'automatique et de l'électrotechnique. Le travail présenté s'intéresse au problème particulier de la commande sans capteur à basse vitesse des MSAP à pôles lisses. L'objectif est de proposer une méthode permettant de contrôler en position un actionneur électromécanique utilisé dans un contexte aéronautique (ici pour des ailerons). Une étude théorique des deux familles de machines, saillantes et non saillantes, a permis de montrer une différence d'observabilité des modèles de la MSAP selon la vitesse de la machine, avec en particulier une perte d'observabiltié à basse vitesse pour les machines à pôles lisses. Pour pallier cette perte, de nouveaux modèles sont développés, qui prennent en compte des vibrations de la machine, sollicitée par une injection de signaux. Une nouvelle analyse, appliquée à ces modèles, permet de garantir l'observabilité de la machine sur toute la gamme de vitesse, y compris à l'arrêt. Nous avons donc proposé une approche d'observation de la position et de la vitesse basée sur ces nouveaux modèles avec une injection bien choisie. Contrairement aux méthodes classiques basées sur la saillance, cette approche est applicable à tous les types de machine. Elle a été validée sur plusieurs bancs d'essais par l'application d'un observateur de Kalman étendu. De nombreux tests ont été réalisés sur un benchmark dédié aux applications industrielles. Les résultats ont montré les performances, la robustesse et les limites des observateurs proposés. Nous nous sommes également intéressés à l'asservissement en vitesse sans capteur mécanique de la machine, pour lequel nous avons proposé deux méthodes de synthèse d'observateurs. La première est basée sur la synthèse d'un observateur LPV robuste par approche polytopique. La seconde utilise un observateur à modes de glissement d'ordre deux à gains adaptatifs. La faisabilité expérimentale de ces deux observateurs a été démontrée. / The issue of sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) has been well studied in the field of automation and electrical engineering. In the following work, we were interested in the peculiar problem of low-speed sensorless control of surface PMSM. The objective is to o er a new method for the position control of an industrial electro-mechanical actuator, considering an aeronautical context (a flap actuator). First, modeling and observability analyses of surface (non-salient) PMSM and interior (salient) PMSM have been studied. A loss of observability can be especially found at low speed for models of non-salient machines. To overcome this loss, we have developped new models, that take into account vibrations caused by a signal injection. A theoretical observability study of these latter models shows that observability is now guaranteed for the whole speed range, including standstill. We thus proposed an estimation method of the position and speed of the PMSM, based on these models, with a dedicated injection signal. Unlike sallient-based methods that are only valid for sailent machines, our approach can be used with all types of PMSM. An Extended Kalman Filter is used to observe the position, speed and eventually the load torque. The proposed approach was validated on a dedicated test bench. Many simulation and experimental tests were performed on an industrial-oriented benchmark. Results showed the performances, robustness and limitations of the proposed observers. We have also studied speed sensorless control of the machine. Indeed, two observer syntheses have been presented. The first one is based on robust synthesis of an LPV observer using a polytopic approach. The second method is an adaptative-gain second-order sliding mode observer. Experimental feasibility of the two methods has been demonstrated.

L'intérêt pour les véhicules électriques ne cesse de croitre au sein de la société contemporaine compte tenu de ses nombreuses interrogations sur l’environnement et la dépendance énergétique. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous essayons d’améliorer l’acceptabtabilité sociétale du véhicule électrique en essayant de faire avancer la recherche sur le diagnostique des défauts d’une chaine de traction électrique. Les résultats escomptés devraient permettre à terme d’améliorer la fiabilité et la durabilité de ces systèmes.Nous commençons par une revue des problèmes des défauts déjà apparus dans les véhicules hybrides séries qui disposent de l’architecture la plus proche du véhicule électrique. Une étude approfondie sur le diagnostic des défauts d’un convertisseur de puissance statique (AC-DC) ainsi que celle du moteur synchrone à aimants permanents est menée. Quatre types de défauts majeurs ont été répertoriés concernant le moteur (court-circuit au stator, démagnétisation, excentricité du rotor et défaut des roulements). Au niveau du convertisseur, nous avons considéré le défaut d’ouverture des interrupteurs. Afin d’être dans les mêmes conditions d’utilisation réelle, nous avons effectué des tests expérimentaux à vitesse et charge variables. Ce travail est basé aussi bien sur l’expérimentation que sur la modélisation. Comme par exemple, la méthode des éléments finis pour l’étude de la démagnétisation de la machine. De même, l’essai en court-circuit du stator du moteur en présence d’un contrôle vectoriel.Afin de réaliser un diagnostic en ligne des défauts, nous avons développé un modèle basé sur les réseaux de neurones. L’apprentissage de ce réseau de neurone a été effectué sur la base des résultats expérimentaux et de simulations, que nous avons réalisées. Le réseau de neurones est capable d'assimiler beaucoup de données. Ceci nous permet de classifier les défauts en termes de sévérité et de les localiser. Il permet ainsi d'évaluer le degré de performance de la chaine de traction électrique en ligne en présence des défauts et nous renseigner ainsi sur l'état de santé du système. Ces résultats devraient aboutir à l’élaboration d’une stratégie de contrôle tolérant aux défauts auto-reconfigurable pour prendre en compte les modes dégradés permettant une continuité de service du véhicule ce qui améliorera sa disponibilité. / The interest in the electric vehicles rose recently due both to environmental questions and to energetic dependence of the contemporary society. Accordingly, it is necessary to study and implement in these vehicle fault diagnosis systems which enable them to be more reliable and safe enhancing its sustainability. In this work after a review on problem of faults in the drivetrain of series hybrid electric vehicles (SHEV), a deep investigation on fault diagnosis of AC-DC power converter and permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) have been done as two important parts of traction chains in SHEVs. In other major part of this work, four types of faults (stator winding inter turn short circuit, demagnetization, eccentricity ant bearing faults) of a PMSM have been studied. Inter turn short circuit of stator winding of PMSM in different speeds and loads has been considered to identify fault feature in all operation aspects, as it is expected by electric vehicle application. Experimental results aiming short circuits, bearing and eccentricity fault detection has been presented. Analytical and finite element method (FEM) aiming demagnetization fault investigation has been developed. The AC-DC converter switches are generally exposed to the possibility of outbreak open phase faults because of troubles of the switching devices. This work proposes a robust and efficient identification method for data acquisition selection aiming fault analysis and detection. Two new patterns under AC-DC converter failure are identified and presented. To achieve this goal, four different level of switches fault are considered on the basis of both simulation and experimental results. For accuracy needs of the identified pattern for SHEV application, several parameters have been considered namely: capacitor size changes, load and speed variations. On the basis of the developed fault sensitive models above, an ANN based fault detection, diagnosis strategy and the related algorithm have been developed to show the way of using the identified patterns in the supervision and the diagnosis of the PMSM drivetrain of SHEVs. ANN method have been used to develop three diagnosis based models for : the vector controlled PMSM under inter turn short circuit, the AC/DC power converter under an open phase fault and also the PMSM under unbalanced voltage caused by open phase DC/AC inverter. These models allow supervising the main components of the PMSM drivetrains used to propel the SHEV. The ANN advantages of ability to include a lot of data mad possible to classify the faults in terms of their type and severity. This allows estimating the performance degree of that drivetrains during faulty conditions through the parameter state of health (SOH). The latter can be used in a global control strategy of PMSM control in degraded mode in which the control is auto-adjusted when a defect occurs on the system. The goal is to ensure a continuity of service of the SHEV in faulty conditions to improve its reliability.
