Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines And Drives

Interest in permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) is continuously increasing worldwide, especially with the increased use of renewable energy and the electrification of transports. This book contains the successful submissions of fifteen papers to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines”. The focus is on permanent magnet synchronous machines and the electrical systems they are connected to. The presented work represents a wide range of areas. Studies of control systems, both for permanent magnet synchronous machines and for brushless DC motors, are presented and experimentally verified. Design studies of generators for wind power, wave power and hydro power are presented. Finite element method simulations and analytical design methods are used. The presented studies represent several of the different research fields on permanent magnet machines and electric drives.

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are popular in the electric vehicle industry due to their high-power density, large torque-to-inertia ratio, and high reliability. This book presents an improved field-oriented control (FOC) strategy for PMSMs that utilizes optimal proportional-integral (PI) parameters to achieve robust stability, faster dynamic response, and higher efficiency in the flux-weakening region. The book covers the combined design of a PI current regulator and varying switching frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM), along with an improved linear model predictive control (MPC) strategy. Researchers and graduate students in electrical engineering, systems and control, and electric vehicles will find this book useful. Features: • Implements evolutionary optimization algorithms to improve PMSM performance. • Provides coverage of PMSM control design in the flux-weakening region. • Proposes a modern method of model predictive control to improve the dynamic performance of interior PMSM. • Studies the dynamic performance of two kinds of PMSMs: surface-mounted and interior permanent magnet types. • Includes several case studies and illustrative examples with MATLAB®. This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students, and libraries in electrical engineering with specialization in systems and control and electric vehicles.

Permanent Magnet, Reluctance, and Self-Synchronous Motors discusses the theory, design, and control of permanent magnet materials. The book describes permanent magnets and their applications to electric machines as well as their performance characteristics and limitations. It presents the performance and calculations of PM commutator motors and an approach to their design. Permanent magnet synchronous motors, finite-element calculations, design methodologies, and rectangular and sinusoidal current control are discussed. It presents reluctance motors, their topologies and performance analyses as well as reluctance synchronous motors, with very large rotor saliency ratios, and their vector control. Numerical examples and data of practical interest are provided throughout the book. The book will be very useful to engineers involved in the design and manufacturing of permanent magnet and reluctance motors and high-performance drives, as well as electrical engineering students and educators.

Despite two decades of massive strides in research and development on control strategies and their subsequent implementation, most books on permanent magnet motor drives still focus primarily on motor design, providing only elementary coverage of control and converters. Addressing that gap with information that has largely been disseminated only in journals and at conferences, Permanent Magnet Synchronous and Brushless DC Motor Drives is a long-awaited comprehensive overview of power electronic converters for permanent magnet synchronous machines and control strategies for variable-speed operation. It introduces machines, power devices, inverters, and control, and addresses modeling, implementation, control strategies, and flux weakening operations, as well as parameter sensitivity, and rotor position sensorless control. Suitable for both industrial and academic audiences, this book also covers the simulation, low cost inverter topologies, and commutation torque ripple of PM brushless DC motor drives. Simulation of the motor drives system is illustrated with MATLAB® codes in the text. This book is divided into three parts—fundamentals of PM synchronous and brushless dc machines, power devices, inverters; PM synchronous motor drives, and brushless dc motor drives. With regard to the power electronics associated with these drive systems, the author: Explores use of the standard three-phase bridge inverter for driving the machine, power factor correction, and inverter control Introduces space vector modulation step by step and contrasts with PWM Details dead time effects in the inverter, and its compensation Discusses new power converter topologies being considered for low-cost drive systems in PM brushless DC motor drives This reference is dedicated exclusively to PM ac machines, with a timely emphasis on control and standard, and low-cost converter topologies. Widely used for teaching at the doctoral level and for industrial audiences both in the U.S. and abroad, it will be a welcome addition to any engineer’s library.

The book focuses on position sensorless control for PMSM drives, addressing both basic principles and experimental evaluation. It provides an in-depth study on a number of major topics, such as model-based sensorless control, saliency-based sensorless control, position estimation error ripple elimination and acoustic noise reduction. Offering a comprehensive and systematic overview of position sensorless control and practical issues it is particularly suitable for readers interested in the sensorless control techniques for PMSM drives. The book is also a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in fields of ac motor drives and sensorless control.
