Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are widely used in electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles to propel the wheels. Various control strategies have been developed for PMSM drive systems to achieve both high efficiency and safe operation. In a PMSM drive system, generally the high voltage battery and the power...
A highly flexible numerical simulation model for the performance
prediction of brushless dc drives is presented, which is capable of
investigating unbalanced and asymmetrical operating conditions as well
as drives with non-ideal parameters. Numerical speed-up procedures
allow for the investigation of pulse-width modulated (PWM) drives using
a personal computer. Experimental...
Direct digital control is becoming quite common in the control
of industrial processes. However, due to the relatively high accuracy
of both analog and conventional digital systems for controlling the
speed of a dc motor, there has been a reluctance to try DDC for
this purpose. This thesis describes a...
This thesis comprises a series of tests run on a compound direct current generator and an induction motor; separately and combined as a set, with sheets of data; characteristic and efficiency curves and deduction drawn therefrom relative to the two machines.
An AC/AC converter has been designed and implemented for the purpose of
providing a modular drive system with a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM.) This
converter is to be used in laboratory testing and also as part of a demonstration system in
the field.
All hardware needed to start and run...
