The work is focused on the design of synchronous motor control with field weakening possibility. At present synchronous motors used in many applications. Often is used synchronous motor with permanent magnets. This type of motor may have different transverse and axial inductance. In most cases it is desirable to design the engine using a computer model. Therefore the synchronous motor described mathematically in order to create the model of motor. At work is also crated model of synchronous motor control. The control is designed for the highest possible speed range. Therefore, the motor control is consist of two parts. Speed is controlled by voltage in the first part. In the second part speed is controlled by field weakening. Everything is created and simulated in a computer program MATLAB-SIMULINK.

Le travail présenté dans cette thèse a pour objectif d'apporter une contribution aux méthodes de commande et d'observation des machines asynchrones destinées à la traction électrique. Dans ce contexte, plusieurs algorithmes ont été développés et implémentés. Après une présentation rapide de la commande vectorielle classique, de nouvelles approches de commande non linéaire sont proposées : il s'agit plus précisément de la commande backstepping classique et sa variante avec action intégrale. Une deuxième partie est consacrée à l'observation et à l'estimation des paramètres et des états de la machine, basée sur des structures MRAS-modes glissants d'une part et sur des structures de filtrage synchrone d'autre part. Une analyse détaillée du problème de fonctionnement à basse vitesse nous a conduit à proposer une solution originale dans le cadre d'une commande sans capteur mécanique. Le problème de la dégradation du couple en survitesse a été traité par un algorithme de défluxage basé sur la conception d'un contrôleur de tension. Enfin, nous avons proposé un algorithme d'optimisation afin de minimiser les pertes dans l'ensemble Onduleur-Machine / The work presented in this thesis aims to contribute to the control and observation of the induction machines for electric traction. Several algorithms have been developed and implemented. After a fast presentation of the classical vector control, new approaches of non-linear control are proposed : the classical backstepping and integral backstepping. A second part deals with the observation and the estimation of parameters and states of the machine, based on MRAS-Sliding Mode structures on one hand and on synchronous filtering structures on the other hand. A detailed analysis of the operation at low speed led us to propose an original solution for a Sensorless control. The torque degradation in field weakening zone was treated by a voltage regulation controller. Finally, we proposed losses minimization algorithm for the Inverter-Machine set

Purpose of this dissertation is to explore control techniques of PMSM motors and the design of a complex solution of sensorless control across a wide range of speed and torque. The proposed solution supports industrial implementation of different types of end equipment which use a PMSM motor. The work covers a thorough analysis of position and speed estimation. The Control structure is based on field oriented control technique, processes estimated quantities, and optimizes motor conditions to achieve maximum efficiency, start-up torque, and speed. The work discusses how the solution complies with the latest IEC standards. Compliance with these standards requires adapting the sensorless control technique and field oriented control structure. The elimination of a rotor position sensor and a temperature sensor measuring winding temperature requires development of techniques in software for blocked rotor detection and overload detection. The proposed solutions, which have been granted US patents, are explained in this work and utilize the unique features of an NXP microcontroller optimized for motor control applications. The achieved results are demonstrated on real industrial applications.

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / This work investigates the operation of three phase induction motors in field weakening and high speed regions. Maximum torque per ampère is imposed by using an indirect vector control strategy. Mathematical models that accounts for magnetic saturation is used for simulations and adjustment of controllers used in control algorithm. The driving structure is characterized by the use of VSI static converter with sinusoidal PWM switching strategy and a vector control technique based on orthogonal components. Investigations resulted in the development of a digital simulation using discrete models that turned out generic and reliable, and an experimental system using a low cost fixed point DSP platform. Simulated and experimental results are included and shown the robustness and efficiency of the proposed control system under different operating conditions. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a operação de motores de indução trifásicos em regime de enfraquecimento de campo e altas velocidades, com maximização do conjugado por ampère, através de um sistema de acionamento vetorial. Para tanto, foi utilizado uma modelagem matemática completa, por fase, que emprega o conceito de função harmônica magnética e considera as componentes, fundamental e de terceiro harmônico do fluxo de entreferro. A estrutura de acionamento caracteriza-se pela utilização de um inversor de tensão PWM senoidal e da técnica de controle vetorial, esta baseada em componentes ortogonais. A evolução do trabalho resultou no desenvolvimento de uma plataforma de simulação computacional baseada em modelos discretos que é bastante genérica e confiável, e um sistema experimental utilizando um processador digital de sinais de baixo custo com aritmética de ponto fixo. Os resultados de simulação e experimentais que avaliam a eficiência do sistema de controle proposto sob diversas condições de operação e efeitos de dessintonia são apresentados e apontam para robustez do método. / Doutor em Ciências

The electrification era has been marked up by an increase in volume of electric vehicles which are directly or indirectly powered by electricity. Railways, roadways and airways are being electrified as we speak at their own respective rate. In addition to that upcoming concepts for transport solution such as hyperloop also described as the fifth mode of transportation will be electrified. The current thesis work is based on developing the model and control of the propulsion system of a scaled Hyperloop pod designed by student team KTH Hyperloop representing KTH. The team competes in Hyperloop competition organized by Spacex and the goal is to achieve the highest possible speed in a given distance and track designed by SpaceX. In order to achieve the goal of being the fastest, the scaled pod uses a Double Sided Linear Induction Motor (DSLIM) as mentioned in the subsequent chapter. The motor modelling is done on Simulink and is similar to a rotary induction motor (RIM). However the presence of end effect in DSLIM makes it different from RIM and has been discussed subsequently. The control strategy uses a synchronous frame PI control for the current control and sensor based speed control for controlling the speed of the pod.The speed control output is a reference current which is used as an input to the current controller which finally gives voltage as the control output. The corresponding bandwidth for the various loops have been calculated based on motor parameters as discussed in the method section. The validation of the motor model and the corresponding controller has been discussed in the result section, where the accuracy of the controller for the designed modelled is discussed. / Elektrifieringstiden har präglats av en ökning i volym av elfordon som direkt eller indirekt drivs med el. Järnvägar, vägar och luftvägar elektrifieras just nu med deras respektive takt. Utöver det kommer kommande koncept för transportlösning som hyperloop som också beskrivs som det femte transportsättet att elektrifieras. Detta examensarbete bygger på att utveckla modellen och regleringen av framdrivningssystemet för en nedskalad Hyperloop-pod utvecklad av studentteamet KTH Hyperloop som representerar KTH. Teamet tävlar i Hyperloop-tävlingen organiserad av SpaceX och målet är att uppnå högsta möjliga hastighet på ett visst avstånd och spår framtaget av SpaceX. För att uppnå målet om att vara snabbast använder den nedskalade podden en dubbelsidig elektrisk linjär induktionsmotor (DSLIM) som nämns i det följande kapitlet. Den elektriska motormodelleringen görs i Simulink och liknar en roterande induktionsmotor(RIM). Men närvaron av ’end effect’ i DSLIM gör den annorlunda än RIM och har diskuterats därefter. Styrstrategin använder en synkron ram-PI-styrning för strömstyrning och sensorbaserad hastighetsreglering för att styra hastigheten på podden. Varvtalsstyrningsutgången är en referensström som används som en ingång till den nuvarande styrenheten som slutligen ger spänning som slutling styrning. Motsvarande bandbredd för de olika slingorna har beräknats baserat på elektriska motorparametrar som diskuterats i metodavsnittet.Valideringen av elmotormodellen och motsvarande styrenhet har diskuterats i resultatsektionen, där noggrannheten hos styrenheten för den konstruerade modellerna diskuteras.

Cette thèse est consacré à l’évaluation et l’amélioration de la performance de la machine synchrone à réluctance variable pour des applications à vitesse variable en général et pour les applications automobiles en particulier. Les deux axes de développement sont la conception de la machine et l’injection des harmoniques de courants de phase. Le rotor est un élément important dans la conception de la machine, et un intérêt particulier est dédié à la conception et l’évaluation du rotor pour améliorer la performance de la machine. Une méthode analytique est proposée dans la thèse pour concevoir le rotor. Plusieurs éléments tels que les ponts qui maintiennent le rotor mécaniquement résistant, ainsi que le rapport d’isolation d’axe q (rapport air-acier) sont étudiés. Une étude de conception assistée par ordinateur basé sur un problème d’optimisation paramétrique est présentée aussi. Les trois familles des algorithmes d’optimisation sont évaluées pour la procédure d’optimisation: un algorithme à base de gradient (algorithme de Newton Quasi), un algorithme non-évolutionnaire sur la base de non-gradient (Nelder Mead Simplex) et un algorithme évolutif sur la base non-gradient (algorithme génétique). Les designs de machines basées sur la procédure analytique et la procédure d’optimisation sont testés sur un banc d’essai. Le deuxième axe d’études de la thèse est l’injection d’harmoniques dans les courants de phase de la machine à réluctance variable synchrone. L’interaction des harmoniques de courant avec les harmoniques spatiales des inductances est étudiée et formalisée pour une machine à m-phases. Ensuite, le concept d’injection d’harmoniques est évalué dans le cas particulier d’une machine à deux phases. Cette étude montre l’avantage de l’injection d’harmoniques dans la réduction de l’ondulation de couple de la machine. Un design d’une machine est finalement développé pour une application automobile sur la base de l’optimisation paramétrique du stator et du rotor. Cette conception est évaluée pour les spécifications imposées électromagnétiques par une application de traction à puissance moyenne / This thesis is dedicated to the evaluation and the improvement of the synchronous reluctance machine’s performance for variable speed drive applications in general and for automotive applications in particular. The two axes of development are machine design and phase current harmonics injection. The rotor is an important element in the machine design and particular emphasis is placed to the design and evaluation of the rotor for enhancing the machine performance. An analytical procedure is proposed for the rotor design. The rotor elements like the ribs and the bridges that maintain the rotor mechanically strong as well as the q-axis insulation ratio (air-to-steel ratio) are studied. A computer-aided design study based on a parametric optimization problem is presented as well. The main three families of the optimization algorithms are evaluated for the optimization procedure: a gradient-based algorithm (Quasi Newton Algorithm), a non-gradient based non-evolutionary algorithm (Nelder Mead Simplex) and a non-gradient based evolutionary algorithm (Genetic Algorithm). The machine designs based on the analytical procedure and the optimization procedure are both manufactured and tested on a bench. The second axis of study of the thesis is the injection of harmonics in the phase currents of the synchronous reluctance machine. The interaction of current harmonics with the spatial inductance harmonics is studied and formalized for an m-phase machine. Then, the harmonics injection concept is evaluated in the particular case of a 2-phase machine. This study shows the benefi t of harmonics injection in the reduction of the machine torque ripple. A synchronous reluctance machine design is fi nally developed for an automotive application based on parametric optimization of the stator and rotor. This design is evaluated for the electromagnetic specifi cations imposed by a mid-power electric vehicle traction application

Je jasné, že nejúspěšnější konstrukce zahrnuje postup vícefázového řízení, ve kterém každá fáze může být považována za samostatný modul. Provoz kterékoliv z jednotek musí mít minimální vliv na ostatní, a to tak, že v případě selhání jedné jednotky ostatní mohou být v provozu neovlivněny. Modulární řešení vyžaduje minimální elektrické, magnetické a tepelné ovlivnění mezi fázemi řízení (měniče). Synchronní stroje s pulzním tokem a permanentními magnety se jeví jako atraktivní typ stroje, jejíž přednostmi jsou vysoký kroutící moment, jednoduchá a robustní konstrukce rotoru a skutečnost, že permanentní magnety i cívky jsou umístěny společně na statoru. FS-PMSM jsou poměrně nové typy střídavého stroje stator-permanentní magnet, které představují významné přednosti na rozdíl od konvenčních rotorů - velký kroutící moment, vysoký točivý moment, v podstatě sinusové zpětné EMF křivky, zároveň kompaktní a robustní konstrukce díky umístění magnetů a vinutí kotvy na statoru. Srovnání výsledků mezi FS-PMSM a klasickými motory na povrchu upevněnými PM (SPM) se stejnými parametry ukazuje, že FS-PMSM vykazuje větší vzduchové mezery hustoty toku, vyšší točivý moment na ztráty v mědi, ale také vyšší pulzaci díky reluktančnímu momentu. Pro stroje buzené permanentními magnety se jedná o tradiční rozpor mezi požadavkem na vysoký kroutící moment pod základní rychlostí (oblast konstantního momentu) a provozem nad základní rychlostí (oblast konstantního výkonu), zejména pro aplikace v hybridních vozidlech. Je předložena nová topologie synchronního stroje s permanentními magnety a spínaným tokem odolného proti poruchám, která je schopná provozu během vinutí naprázdno a zkratovaného vinutí i poruchách měniče. Schéma je založeno na dvojitě vinutém motoru napájeném ze dvou oddělených vektorově řízených napěťových zdrojů. Vinutí jsou uspořádána takovým způsobem, aby tvořila dvě nezávislé a oddělené sady. Simulace a experimentální výzkum zpřesní výkon během obou scénářů jak za normálního provozu, tak za poruch včetně zkratových závad a ukáží robustnost pohonu za těchto podmínek. Tato práce byla publikována v deseti konferenčních příspěvcích, dvou časopisech a knižní kapitole, kde byly představeny jak topologie pohonu a aplikovaná řídící schémata, tak analýzy jeho schopnosti odolávat poruchám.
