The master’s thesis deals with the design of a synchronous motor with embedded magnets. First of all, the general theory of synchronous motor, which is focused on field-weakening drive, is described. Then a 6-pole and a 8-pole version of the motor with embded magnet, which has 65 kW and 3000 rpm is complexly designed. Motors are compared with each other and with a motor with surface magnets, that was also designed in this work. Finally, all motors are compared with a mafufactured and measured motor.

Rotor designs for permanent magnet synchronous machines suitable for field weakening operation have been evaluated for use with an existing drive system. The designs have been simulated with the FEM-based software Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM). Based on the results two different internal magnet rotors have been constructed and tested. Both designs significantly improved the speed range while maintaining or improving magnet utilisation. The implementation of field weakening algorithms in drive electronics is complex and need thorough optimisation for stable operation. Internal permanent magnet rotors are a good alternative to surface mounted designs and enables a wider speed range through improved field weakening capabilities.

A regular vehicle of today is equipped with an internal combustion engine that runs on either gasoline or diesel, which are fossil fuels from oil reserves that are millions of years old. In all types of combustion processes carbon dioxide and several other emissions are produced. There are none known technologies of today that can reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide from combustion, but the amount that is produced is mainly dependent on the fuel that is used. Combustion of fossil fuels increases the contamination of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and diminishes the oil resources. The results are global warming and empty oil reserves within a few decades with the current production tempo, in addition to many other pollution effects that are harmful to the environment. A transition towards a society based on sustainable transportation is therefore urgent. The hydrogen fuel cell powered car with an electric propulsion system has the potential to be the car of the future that possesses the required characteristics of no harmful tailpipe emissions. There are some obstacles in the way for an early commercialisation, including the expensive catalysts used today and the lack of an infrastructure based on hydrogen, though. The hybrid electric vehicle, with both a conventional as well as an electric drivetrain, is a natural candidate for making the transition from the conventional car towards the car of the future. This thesis is focused on the design and analysis of permanent magnet machines for a novel hybrid electric vehicle drive system called the Four Quadrant Transducer. A number of electrical machine aspects are identified, including cores of soft magnetic composites, fractional pitch concentrated windings, core segmentation, novel machine topologies and cost effective production methods. The main objective is to analyse and judge the many unconventional machine aspects of which some may have the potential to improve the performance and reduce the cost of permanent magnet machines. Another objective is to study the effects of the use of fossil fuels and describe them with a new perspective and thereby make one small contribution to the debate about energy issues. Much focus has been spent on the theory of concentrated windings for permanent magnet machines. The potential parasitic effects and methods to improve the torque performance have been described. Other topics that have been given a high priority are material and power loss studies. An important contribution to the understanding of iron losses during field-weakening operation has been presented. A comprehensive use of finite element modeling has been done in the analysis combined with measurements on several laboratory prototypes. The Four Quadrant Transducer drivetrain and its two electrical machines intended for a midsized passenger car has been studied. The gearbox can be of a simple single stage type, which reduces the mechanical complexity and makes the traction performance of the vehicle smooth, without gear changes and drops in power. Simulations on a complete hybrid system show that fuel savings of more than 40% compared to a conventional vehicle can be achieved at citytraffic driving. The savings are modest at highway driving, since the engine is required to operate at high power during such conditions, and the support from the electrical system is negligible. The laboratory prototypes have shown that it is possible to manufacture high performance electrical machines with high material utilization and potential for automated production. The described concepts offer cost effective solutions for future drive systems in automotive and industrial applications. A number of weaknesses with the presented constructions have also been characterized, which should serve as guidelines for creating more optimized machines.

DC power systems have a constant DC-link voltage, as well as the advantages such as high stability, high efficiency, small size and light weight; therefore, they are widely used in stand-alone power systems, e.g. the power systems in aircrafts and automobiles, isolated wind power generation systems, etc. Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) possess the advantages including high power density, high efficiency, and high control precision, and have obtained great attention and have been widely used in military, inductry, and daily life. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) rectifier has been one of the main power conversion topologies thanks to its full controllability. The key point in the dissertation is to study the DC power system consisting of a PMSG to be the main power input device and a PWM rectifier to be the main power conversion topology. The objective of control is to output a constant DC-link voltage in a wide PMSG speed range. Since the PM-excited flux linkage is constant, when the PMSG is working at a high speed, field-weakening is needed to stabilize the stator voltage, further to stabilize the DC-link voltage. Hybrid excitation may be used to realize the field-weakening, but it has complex structure; no auxiliary devices are needed in the field regulation with the armature current, and can be easily realized with the PWM recifier and field-regulation control strategies. In this dissertation, the typical applications of the DC power systems are first introduced, with a comprehensive analysis and elaboration on the relevant research throughout the world. The research work is focused on the DC power system and its stabilization control, which is composed of a PMSG and a PWM rectifier. The involved research content in this dissertation includes the following aspects: 1. DC power system design with a wide-speed-range PMSGAs for the common DC power systems, PMSG with high power density, high efficiency is selected to the system power input device, usually with a variable-speed prime mover. The PWM rectifier with fully controlled switches is chosen to be the power conversion topology, which converts the AC power generated by PMSG into DC power, and supplies the DC load after the DC filter. The matching between the system requirements and the generator parameters are determined. Through finite-element analysis (FEA), a PMSG with strong field-weakening ability and suitable for wide-speed-range operation has been designed and manufactured, and the system test bench has been built based on dSPACE. 2. Study, analysis, optimization and experimental verification of the traditional control strategiesAccording to the PMSG designed in part 1, the DC-link model has been built, as well as the control model of the traditional control strategies, e.g. field-oriented control (FOC), direct torque control (DTC), and the effectiveness of the DC-link voltage stabilization control has been verified in a wide speed range. The theory of active damping has been proposed and analyzed, and has been utilized in the DC-link voltage control. When the load on the DC-link changes, the dynamic response of the DC-link voltage has been greatly accelerated, and it recovers quickly to its reference value. In the meantime, the performance influence of the prime mover speed on the actual system test bench should be considered. Finally, the performance of FOC and DTC has been compared and analyzed. 3. Analysis and experimental verification of the direct voltage control (DVC), and the comparative study of all the studied control strategiesThe derivation process of DVC has been theoretically analyzed: the inner current loops in FOC have been eliminated to obtain the direct voltage field-oriented control (DVFOC); the reference value of d-axis voltage in DVFOC has been replaced by the product of the stator voltage calculated by the speed and the load condition, and the sine value of load angle generated by the DC-link voltage PI controller, in order to form the DVC-1. Further, the DC-link voltage PI controller directly outputs the reference value of load angle and it becomes DVC-2. Finally, the comparative study has been carried out among all the studied control strategies. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
