Cette thèse est dédiée à la conception optimale de la machine synchrone à rotor bobiné modulaire sans balais pour les systèmes embarqués. Cette machine est basée sur une structure POKIPOKITM développée par Mitsubishi Electric Coopération avec les convertisseurs de puissance intégrée pour augmenter la capacité de tolérance aux défauts. L'analyse électromagnétique est utilisée pour étudier les différentes machines synchrones à rotor bobiné et donc, pour sélectionner la structure qui offre la meilleure tolérance aux défauts et les performances les plus élevées. D’abord, le choix des nombres de phases, d’encoches et de pôles est un point critique. Ensuite, quelques machines sont analysées et comparées selon les critères tels que la densité de couple, le rendement, l'ondulation de couple. La machine avec 7 phases, 7 encoches et 6 pôles est alors choisie. Cette machine est ensuite comparée à la machine synchrone à aimant permanent monté en surface. Le résultat démontre que la machine synchrone à rotor bobiné modulaire sans balais possède le potentiel de remplacer la machine synchrone à aimant permanent dans notre application parce qu’elle présente des performances similaires avec une capacité de tolérance aux défauts élevée. Dans un second temps, une fois la structure 7phases/7encoches/6pôles choisie, cette machine est optimisée en utilisant NOMAD (qui est un logiciel d'optimisation de boîte noire) afin de minimiser le volume externe sous les contraintes électromagnétiques, thermiques et mécaniques. Comme ce problème d'optimisation est extrêmement difficile à résoudre, quelques relaxations ont été effectuées pour tester les différents algorithmes d'optimisation : fmincon (de Matlab) et NOMAD. Nous remarquons que NOMAD est plus efficace que fmincon pour trouver des solutions à ce problème de conception où certaines contraintes sont calculées par des simulations numériques (ANSYS Maxwell ; code éléments finis). En utilisant la méthode NOMAD basée sur l’algorithme Mesh Adaptive Direct Search, nous obtenons des résultats optimaux qui satisfont toutes les contraintes proposées. Il est nécessaire de valider ce design optimisé en vérifiant toutes les contraintes par des simulations électromagnétiques et thermiques en 3D. Les résultats montrent que le couple moyen obtenu par la simulation en 3D est inférieur à la valeur souhaitée. Par conséquent, en augmentant la longueur de la machine, une nouvelle machine corrigée est ainsi obtenue. Nous observons que les pertes de fer obtenues en 3D sont plus élevées qu'en 2D en raison du flux de fuite dans la tête de bobinage. En prenant les valeurs des pertes analysées par la simulation en 3D, la température de surface de la nouvelle machine analysée par la méthode Computational Fluid Dynamics est plus élevée que celle calculée dans l’optimisation. Enfin, un prototype de machine est construit et quelques tests expérimentaux est réalisés. Le résultat montre que la force électromotrice à vide a une forme d'onde similaire par rapport à la prédiction numérique en 3D et la différence de couple statique maximum entre les tests expérimentaux et les simulations par éléments finis en 3D est faible. / This thesis is dedicated to the design and the optimization of modular brushless wound rotor synchronous machine for embedded systems. This machine is constructed based on POKIPOKITM structure with integrated drive electronics. Finite element analysis based optimization becomes more popular in the field of electrical machine design because analytical equations are not easily formalized for the machines which have complicate structures. Using electromagnetic analysis to comparatively study different modular brushless wound rotor synchronous machines and therefore, to select the structure which offers the best fault tolerant capability and the highest output performances. Firstly, the fundamental winding factor calculated by using the method based on voltage phasors is considered as a significant criterion in order to select the numbers of phases, stator slots and poles. After that, 2D finite element numerical simulations are carried out for a set of 15 machines to analyze their performances. The simulation results are then compared to find an appropriate machine according to torque density, torque ripple and machine efficiency. The 7phase/7-slot/6-pole machine is chosen and compared with a reference design surfacemounted permanent magnet synchronous machine in order to evaluate the interesting performance features of the wound rotor synchronous machine. In the second design stage, this machine is optimized by using derivative-free optimization. The objective is to minimize external volume under electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical constraints. Given that an accurate finite element analysis for machine performance takes a long time. Moreover, considering that the average torque can be obtained by simulating the model with only four rotor positions instead of one electric period, optimization strategy is proposed to reduce computational time and therefore, obtain a fast convergence ability by defining relaxed problems which enable minimizing the external volume of the machine under only several constraints such as average torque, torque ripple and copper losses. By testing relaxed problems, two different optimization methods (NOMAD and fmincon) are compared in order to select an appropriate method for our optimization problem. Using NOMAD method based on Mesh Adaptive Direct Search, we achieve optimal results which satisfy all of the constraints proposed. In the third design stage, all constraints are validated by 3D electromagnetic and thermal simulations using finite element and computational fluid dynamics methods. The 3D results show that the average torque obtained is lower than the desired value. By increasing the length of the machine, a new corrected machine is thus obtained. It can be observed that the iron losses obtained in 3D are higher than that in 2D due to the leakage flux in the end-winding. Then, the machine temperature is analyzed by using ANSYS Fluent. Note that the surface temperature is higher than that calculated in the optimization and the coil temperature is 8.48°C higher than the desired value (105°C). However, some dissipation by the shaft and the bearings of the machine are expected to reduce the machine temperature. Finally, a machine prototype is built and some experimental tests are carried out. The results show that the electromotive force has a similar waveform compared to 3D prediction and the difference of the measured and predicted maximum static torques is small.

The proposed model includes orange harvesting plan, which takes into account oranges maturation curves. This fact leads to a model that incorporates a large portion of the supply chain involved in the frozen concentrated orange juice sector. Another point to highlight is the inclusion of the blending process of different types of juices to match ratio specification of the product. This study uses orange acidity to calculate ratio specification of the product. This study also explores the importance of data uncertainty incorporation to the aggregate production planning for this business and evaluate results from different approaches of robust optimization to this problem. This author is not aware of previous work in the literature with such approach to the orange juice industry. The problem modeling uses blending problem concepts and production planning with multiple products, stages and periods concepts as well. To solve the linear programming, goal programming and robust optimization models, an algebraic modeling language and a state of art optimization solver of mathematical programming problems is used. A case study was developed in an orange juice company located in the São Paulo State. This company has many facilities and a worldwide distribution system, similar to other companies in this sector. The results show that the proposed approach can be used in real situations. / O objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver modelos de programação linear, programação por metas e otimização robusta para apoiar decisões no processo de planejamento agregado da produção de suco concentrado congelado de laranja. A modelagem proposta incorpora o planejamento de colheita da laranja, levando-se em consideração as curvas de maturação das laranjas. Esse fato conduz a um modelo que incorpora grande parte da cadeia de suprimento envolvida no setor de produção de suco concentrado congelado de laranja. Outro ponto a destacar é a consideração do processo de mistura de diferentes tipos de sucos para a obtenção da especificação de ratio do produto acabado. No caso desse estudo, utiliza-se a acidez da laranja como base de cálculo para a especificação de ratio do produto acabado. Este estudo também explora a importância da incorporação de incerteza a determinados parâmetros envolvidos no processo de planejamento de produção nesse setor e analisa os resultados das diferentes abordagens de otimização robusta para o problema. Sendo que, este autor desconhece trabalhos anteriores na literatura com esta abordagem para a indústria de suco de laranja. A modelagem do problema utiliza conceitos de problemas de mistura e planejamento de produção com múltiplos produtos, estágios e períodos. Para resolver os modelos de programação linear, programação por metas e otimização robusta, utilizou-se uma linguagem de modelagem algébrica e um aplicativo de última geração de solução de problemas de programação matemática. Um estudo de caso foi realizado em uma empresa de suco de laranja localizada no Estado de São Paulo, envolvendo várias plantas e com uma rede de distribuição internacional com características típicas de outras empresas do setor. Os resultados indicam que a abordagem aqui proposta pode ser aplicada em situações reais.

L’alternateur étudié dans cette thèse équipe une éolienne flottante à axe vertical. Il s’agit d’unemachine synchrone de 2MW, polyphasée, bobinée sur plots, à pas fractionnaire, à aimants et à prisedirecte. L’objectif majeur de la thèse est la caractérisation de cet alternateur afin d’en évaluer lesperformances. Une modélisation analytique de la perméance d'entrefer et de la force magnétomotriceont conduit à l'étude de l'induction d'entrefer dont le contenu harmonique s'est révélé êtreparticulièrement riche. La caractérisation a également porté sur la détermination des inductancespropres et mutuelles, avec un calage du modèle effectué en exploitant des mesures expérimentalesfaites à l’arrêt. La particularité de la machine étudiée nous a amené à considérer un enroulement fictiféquivalent dans le but de déterminer les inductances cycliques, nécessaires à l'établissement du schémamonophasé équivalent. De plus, le fonctionnement back to back de la machine a été étudié et simulé. Ilpermet de faire des tests de la machine elle-même mais aussi des éléments de la chaîne de conversion,sans l'utilisation d'une deuxième machine ou des pâles pour entraîner le rotor du prototype. Il offre enplus la possibilité de tester différents type de fonctionnements et d'évaluer la puissance que peutproduire la machine : différents scénario de fonctionnement ont été simulés et les paramètresnécessaires aux essais sur site ont été définis. Le fonctionnement back to back a fait l’objetd’investigation sur une machine synchrone classique. Les difficultés de fonctionnement ontnotamment pu être mises en évidence avec une modélisation analytique des phénomènesélectromagnétique qui s'y produisent et des essais expérimentaux. / The studied alternator equips a vertical axis offshore wind turbine. It is a 2MW fractional slotconcentrated winding permanent magnet synchronous polyphase machine, directly connected to bladeturbine. The principal purpose of this thesis consists in characterizing the alternator in order toevaluate its performances. The air gap permeance and the magnemotive force analytical modelingleads to study the air gap flux density and its harmonic content, which is particularly rich. Thecharacterization has also concerned the self and mutual inductance determination, which has requiredstalling the model by exploiting experimental measurements done at standstill. The particularity of thestudied machine leads us to consider an equivalent fictitious winding in order to determine the cyclicalinductances, necessary for the single-phase equivalent scheme establishment. Moreover, the machineback to back functioning has been studied and simulated. This functioning allows testing the machineitself and the other conversion chain subsystems, without using a second machine or blades to drivethe prototype rotor. It offers the possibility to test different types of operating points and to estimatethe power that can produce the studied machine: different operating points scenarios have beensimulated and parameters for tests have been defined. The back to back functioning of a classicalsynchronous machine has been also investigated, with an analytical modeling of the electromagneticphenomena and experimental tests.

Permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) are widely used in many industrial applications. This thesis starts with familiarization with the properties and structure of each type of synchronous machines with permanent magnets. Subsequently there are described properties and possible division of AC winding types. Afterward analytical designs of four machines with two different types of winding were realized. These designs were compared by means of simulations using the RMxprt program and their properties were subsequently verified by method of finite element using the Maxwell 2D program. Evaluation and comparison in terms of utility properties for all designs of machines were performed at the conclusion of this thesis.

As a result of changes in the society, such as the increasing mobility, increasing spatial demandindgness of inhabitants and the onset of digital technologies, the architects and urbanists have been searching for new ways of urban housing developments. One of these ways is densification, i.e. an intensive use of the urban space. An intensive urban structure uses up the potential of a place to its maximum, solves several issues simultaneously and is a functional hybrid, the home of potential suburbanizers and a place of social contacts. It comes from the efforts to solve the particular issue of an over-populated, collapsing city. The aim of the thesis is to show contemporary approaches to the issue of intensive urban structures and to map out both the built and unbuilt projects. The thesis creates a system of their categorization and taxonomy. There is always a mixture of functions in play from the functional perspective. One can distinguish five categories according to the spacial conception. These categories are as follows: multiplicity, porousness, hybridity, connectivity and verticality. The public and semi-public spaces thus move to the higher levels of the city, into the city level, urban balcony or the hybrid landscape. The built projects usually tend to be impulses, in relation to the original city, to develop and revitalize the devastated city areas, brownfields, even urban sprawls. Based on the findings of this thesis, diploma and pre-diploma project assignments have been created at the architecture department at FAST VUT in Brno and the approaches to the issue have been tested in the pedagogical process. The survey in the second part of the thesis looks for the answer to the question of whether the potential inhabitants of an intensive urban structure exist, and who these people might be.
