Torque ripple is a very essential index for evaluating the effectiveness of a switched reluctance motor (SRM). Many common design strategies for reducing torque ripples of a SRM are changing the excitation trigger angle of stator windings, delaying the cut-off time of winding excitation, adjusting the ratio of arc angle between stator and rotor, and changing the geometric shape of rotor. However, the output torque or the efficiency of the SRM may drop as the above design strategies are solely adopted. In this paper, a hybrid design model which is obtained by the Taguchi Method for optimally designing a SRM with lower torque ripple and higher efficiency is presented. A 12S/8P motor is taken as a study case, and the 3D finite element method (FEM) is applied to analyze the characteristics of the motor and optimize the design process. The results have shown that the proposed method can achieve the design goal of obtaining a high-performance SRM for light electric vehicle applications.

Rotor initial position is an important factor affecting the control performance of electrically excited synchronous motors. This study presents a novel method for estimating rotor initial position based on sliding discrete Fourier transform (sDFT). By injecting an ac excitation into the rotor winding, an induced voltage is generated in stator windings. Through this voltage, the stator flux can be obtained using a pure integral voltage model. Considering the influence from a dc bias and an integral initial value, we adopt the sDFT to extract the fundamental flux component. A quadrant identification model is designed to realize the accurate estimation of the rotor initial position. The sDFT and high-pass filter, DFT, are compared in detail, and the contrast between dc excitation and ac injection is determined. Simulation and experimental results verify that this type of novel method can eliminate the influence of dc bias and other adverse factors, as well as provide a basis for the control of motor drives.

This paper presents the design and characteristics analysis of axial-flux permanent-magnet (PM) synchronous generator of two air-gap. Dual axial-flux type PM synchronous generator commonly appears in applications where the generator axial dimension is more limited than the radial dimension. The strengths of dual axial-flux generator include ; (1) by employing two air-gaps, the rotor-stator attractive forces are balanced and no net axial or thrust load appeals on the generator hearings ; (2) heat produced by the stator windings appears on the outside of the generator, making it relatively easy to remove, and so on. In this paper, the simple magnetic equivalent circuit approach is used for initial design iteration, and the finite-element method is applied to analyze the detailed characteristics. The test results of driving characteristics are presented as well. The results are very similar to predicted performance of design.

The paper presents a systematic comparison of four topologies of the interior permanent magnet machine (IPMM) designed for low speed applications. This comparative study investigates the suitability of the concentrated winding and distributed winding in the stator and the flat-shaped or V-shaped magnets in the rotor poles. The paper also studies the inductance characteristics of the designs using finite element analysis. Various steps taken to minimize the cogging torque and torque ripple in the studied machines were also discussed in details.

This paper presents an analytical prediction and experimental verification of the electromagnetic performance of a parallel magnetized surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM) motor having a fractional number of slots per pole combination. On the basis of a two-dimensional (2-D) polar coordinate system and a magnetic vector potential, analytical solutions for flux density produced by the permanent magnets (PMs) and stator windings are derived. Then, analytical solutions for back-electromotive force (emf) and electromagnetic torque are derived from these field solutions. The analytical results are thoroughly validated with 2-D nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis results. Finally, the experimental back-emf and electromagnetic torque measurements are presented to test the validity of the analysis.

35년 이상 동안 운전된 2대의 가스터빈 발전기(70 MVA, 13.8 kV) 고정자 권선의 절연상태를 평가하기 위해 정지중 절연진단 시험을 수행하였다. 성극지수, 교류전류, 유전정접 및 부분방전 크기 등을 측정한 결과 모두 양호하여 절연상태가 매우 건전하게 평가되었다. 유전정접이 서서히 증가하는 전압이 부분방전 개시전압과 거의 일치하며, 이 전압은 다시 제1차 전류 급증점 보다는 3 kV정도 낮게 분석되었다. 그리고 발전기 고정자 권선의 부분방전 패턴은 내부방전으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, a novel structure Bearingless SRM with hybrid stator poles is proposed. The motor torque can be controlled independently from radial force control. Analytical models of torque and radial force for proposed structure are explained. Based on these models, control scheme of desired radial force is proposed. In this control method, the magnitude of force can be controlled in arbitrary direction and magnitude by selecting some combinations of radial force windings. The validities of structure and control method are verified by the experimental results when motor is at standstill and running.

부분방전시험은 고전압 고정자 권선의 절연상태를 검사, 평가 할 수 있는 중요한 수단이다. 전동기와 발전기에서 일어나는 절연 악화의 징후로써 부분방전이 발생되며 이러한 부분방전 결함의 정확한 위치 확인이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 회전기 고정자권선의 결함위치를 판정하기위한 Prototype의 코로나 프로브를 설계하고자 Ferrite core를 이용한 Corona Probe를 제작하였으며 모의 결함을 가지는 6.6[kV] 회전기 고정자권선에 적용하여 부분방전펄스를 측정 하였으며 설계된 Probe의 신뢰성을 확인하고자 상용 HFCT센서와 PPM97(Corona Probe)센서를 통하여 검출감도를 비교분석하였다.

Application of induction machines in wind turbine driven generators is a good alternative due to their good characteristics such as efficiency, reliability and low cost. Nevertheless, when isolated operation is required, the application of external capacitive bank, connected to the stator windings, to provide self-excitation results in a rather complex analysis. This paper presents an analysis of self-excited induction generator connected to a load either directly or by an intermediate of a power converter. At first a dynamic model of the induction generator accounting for magnetic saturation is developed. Then a number of balanced and unbalanced capacitors, passive and active loads are verified. Experimental results obtained from laboratory tests are compared to those simulated; the two are shown to be in good agreement.
