High temperature, permanent magnet biased, homopolar magnetic bearing actuatorHossain, Mohammad Ahsan 30 October 2006 (has links)
The EEC (Electron Energy Corporation) in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is researching the magnetic bearings for an alternative to conventional journal or ball bearings. The purpose of this research was to design and develop a high-temperature (1000úF) hybrid Magnetic Bearing using High Temperature Permanent Magnets (HTPM), developed by the EEC for high performance jet engines at high speeds that supply loads of 500 lbf. Another objective is to design and build a test rig fixture to measure the load capacity of the designed bearing. The permanent magnet bias of the Homopolar radial magnetic bearing reduces the amount of current required for magnetic bearing operation. This reduces the power loss due to the coil current resistance and improves the system efficiency because the magnetic field of the HTPM can suspend the major portion of the static load on bearing. A high temperature radial magnetic bearing was designed via an iterative search employing 3D finite element based electromagnetic field simulations. The bearing was designed to produce 500 lbf of force at 1000úF and the design weight is 48 lbs. The bias flux of the Homopolar radial bearing is produced by EEC HTPM to reduce the related ohmic losses of an electromagnetic circuit significantly. An experimental procedure was developed to measure actual load capacity of the designed bearing at the test rig. All the results obtained from the experiment were compiled and analyzed to determine the relation between bearing force, applied current and temperature.

Sensorless Control of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous MotorPetersson, Fredrik January 2009 (has links)
A permanent magnet synchronous motor is traditionally controlled from measured values of the angular velocity and position of the rotor. However, there is a wish from SAAB Avitronics to investigate the possibility of estimating this angular velocity and position from the current measurements. The rotating rotor will affect the currents in the motor’s stator depending on the rotor’s angular velocity, and the observer estimates the angular velocity and angular position from this effect. There are several methods proposed in the article database IEEE Xplore to observe this angular velocity and angular position. The methods of observation chosen for study in this thesis are the extended Kalman filter and a phase locked loop algorithm based on the back electro motive force augmented by an injection method at low velocities. The extended Kalman filter was also programmed to be run on a digital signal processor in SAAB Avitronics’ developing hardware. The extended Kalman filter performs well in simulations and shows promise in hardware implementation. The algorithm for hardware implementation suffers from poor resolution in calculations involving the covariance matrices of the Kalman filter due to the use of 16-bit integers, yielding an observer that only functions in certain conditions. As simulations with 32-bit integer algorithm performs well it is likely that a 32- bit implementation of the extended Kalman filter would perform well on a motor, making sensorless control possible in a wide range of operations.

Design and Simulation of Field Oriented Control and Direct Torque Control for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor with Positive SaliencyKronberg, Anders January 2012 (has links)
The researchers at the Department of Electricity at Uppsala University has recently entered the field of electric motor design, however no real knowledge of motor control of salient pole permanent magnet motors exists in the department. This thesis will present a general description of the control method of motors that exist today, this has been done by reviewing existing literature. The literature review has shown that there are at least three control methods with a significant different in their control approach, Scalar-, Field Oriented- and Direct Torque- Control. The two last methods were chosen by the author as the most useful and was implemented and simulated together with the newly developed motor in MATLAB Simulink to evaluate their performance. The simulation results show that there is no difference in performance of the two methods, but they show a difference in efficiency. The results show that it's worth to develop both methods further, mainly for reducing the torque and current ripple. This result was not expected according to literature, which suggests that the Field Oriented Control has a lower torque ripple. This could be caused by the choice of hysteresis control for inverter switching, instead of more sophisticated methods with a proportional integral derivative controller (PID) together with Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) or Space Vector Modulation (SVM).

Based on field-oriented principle, a flux SMC is designed to achieve quick flux control. And then a speed SMC with time delay is presented and compared with PI controller in the direct torque control framework. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme under the load disturbance and parameter uncertainties is verified by simulation results.

DSP-Based Sensor-less Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Driver With Quasi-Sine PWM for Air-Conditioner Rotary CompressorLiu, Li-hsiang 03 August 2012 (has links)
This thesis presented a sensor-less permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driver for controlling air-conditioner rotary compressor speed. In this thesis, a quasi-sine pulse-width modulation (PWM) driving method was proposed. Furthermore, the current feedback control scheme and rotor magnet pole position detection were included. The system structure was implemented by using a digital signal processing (DSP) platform. The proposed driving scheme was compared with the square-wave driving without current feedback and six-step square-wave driving method with current feedback. Moreover, the passive and shunt semi-active power factor correction (PFC) technique were researched for the air-conditioner application. Experimental results demonstrated that the system power factor could be improved by the proposed shunt semi-active PFC method. Besides, the proposed sensor-less quasi-sine PWM driving method implemented in an air-conditioner compressor driver was capable of reducing the magnitude of rotational speed ripples, compressor vibration, and system power consumption.

High Temperature, Permanent Magnet Biased Magnetic BearingsGandhi, Varun R. 2009 May 1900 (has links)
The Electron Energy Corporation (EEC) along with the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) is researching magnetic bearings. The purpose of this
research was to design and develop a high-temperature (1000�F) magnetic bearing
system using High Temperature Permanent Magnets (HTPM), developed by the EEC.
The entire system consisted of two radial bearings, one thrust bearing, one motor and 2
sets of catcher bearings.
This high temperature magnetic bearing system will be used in high
performance, high speed and high temperature applications like space vehicles, jet
engines and deep sea equipment. The bearing system had a target design to carry a load
equal to 500 lb-f (2225N). Another objective was to design and build a test rig fixture to
measure the load capacity of the designed high temperature radial magnetic bearing
(HTRMB) called Radial Bearing Force Test Rig (RBFTR).
A novel feature of this high temperature magnetic bearing is its homopolar
construction which incorporates state of the art high temperature, 1000 �F, permanent
magnets. A second feature is its fault tolerance capability which provides the desired
control forces even if half the coils have failed. The permanent magnet bias of the radial magnetic bearing reduces the amount of
current required for magnetic bearing operation. This reduces the power loss due to the
coil current resistance and also increases the system efficiency because magnetic field of
the HTPM is used to take up the major portion of the static load on the bearing. The bias
flux of the homopolar radial bearing is produced by the EEC HTPM to reduce the related
ohmic losses of an electromagnetic circuit significantly.
An experimental procedure was developed using the Radial Bearing Force Test
Rig (RBTFR) to measure actual load capacity of the designed bearing at the test rig. All
the results obtained from the experiment were compiled and analyzed to determine the
relation between bearing force, applied current and temperature.

Three-dimensional Force Analyses of an Axial-flow Radial-flux Permanent Magnet Motor with Magnetic SuspensionChiang, Tsung-shiun 07 July 2004 (has links)
This thesis provides a detailed field analysis of a specially designed axial-flow radial-flux permanent magnet motor for cooling fan applications. By implementing an iron strip segment at the stator base, this motor can provide a stable guidance force in its axial direction, such that the operational vibration effects can be minimized and the undesired forces applied onto associated bearing system can be alleviated. Supported by adaptive magnetic equivalent circuit and three-dimensional finite element analyses, the motor operational fluxes and forces can be analyzed. Results show that excellent performance and enhanced reliability objectives can all be achieved.

Design and control of a 6-Degree-of-Freedom levitated positioner with high precisionHu, Tiejun 29 August 2005 (has links)
This dissertation presents a high-precision positioner with a novel superimposed
concentrated-field permanent-magnet matrix. This extended-range multi-axis positioner can
generate all 6-DOF (degree-of-freedom) motions with only a single moving part. It is actuated
by three planar levitation motors, which are attached on the bottom of the moving part. Three
aerostatic bearings are used to provide the suspension force against the gravity for the system.
The dynamic model of the system is developed and analyzed. And several control techniques
including SISO (single input and single output) and MIMO (multi inputs and multi outputs)
controls are discussed in the dissertation. The positioner demonstrates a position resolution of 20
nm and position noise of 10 nm rms in x and y and 15 nm rms in z. The angular resolution
around the x-, y-, and z-axes is in sub-microradian order. The planar travel range is 160 mm ??
160 mm, and the maximum velocity achieved is 0.5 m/s at a 5-m/s2 acceleration, which can
enhance the throughput in precision manufacturing. Various experimental results are presented in
this dissertation to demonstrate the positioner??s capability of accurately tracking any planar
trajectories. Those experimental results verified the potential utility of this 6-DOF high-precision
positioner in precision manufacturing and factory automation.
