Abstract

This work presents a novel direct torque and flux control (DTFC) of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with analytically-tuned proportional integral (PI) controllers. The proportional (K_p) and integral (K_i) gains of the PI controllers were accurately determined, from first principle, using the model of the control system. The PI flux and torque controllers were then developed in rotor reference frame. The designed PI controllers, together with the torque and flux controllers, were tested on a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The results obtained were compared with results from conventional DTFC system using manually-tuned PI controllers. The total harmonic distortion (THD) of motor phase currents is 18.80% and 4.81% for the conventional and proposed models respectively. This confirms a significant reduction in torque ripples. The control system was tested for step torque loading and found to offer excellent performance both during load changes, speed reversal, and constant load conditions.

Abstract

Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and Robust Least Square (RLS) consisting of Least Absolute Residual and Bi-square approaches were deployed to obtain the fuel consumption characteristic curve and the coefficients of the quadratic fuel consumption function for thermal stations in Nigeria. Results were compared based on convergence property, Root Mean Square Error, R-Square value, Adjusted R-Square value, and Width Interval of coefficients. Valve Point loading effects of Egbin and Sapele power stations were used to develop the quadratic fuel consumption characteristic curve and function. The average difference in width interval for the coefficients a, b, c, d, and e of the two stations, after comparing Bi-square and OLS technique, were 0.02084, 8.5055, 1856.565, 520.8855, and 0.0082, respectively. The R-square values obtained from the Bi-Square technique were superior to the OLS technique with arithmetic differences of 0.6196 and 0.5254 for Egbin and Sapele generating stations, respectively. Bi-Square technique also offered better adjusted R-Square value for Egbin and Sapele stations with arithmetic differences of 0.622 and 0.5287, respectively. Bi-Square technique offered smaller Root Mean Square Error than the Ordinary Least Square technique for both stations. The coefficients obtained from Bi-Square technique were used to develop the fuel quantity function for the studied stations.
