Abstract

This paper presents a step-wise modelling of a symmetrical six-phase induction machine driven by a six-phase diode clamped multi-level inverter at a varying rotor resistance and motor inertia. The machine drive process was considered in two stages. The first stage presents the dynamic behavior of the machine when a load torque of 0 Nm and 100 Nm is applied at a varied rotor external resistance value of (0.8 and 3.2) Ω with constant motor inertia. The second stage showcased the variations in the speed, electromagnetic torque and rotor current when motor inertia is varied at (0.5 and 1.5) Kg-m2 with rotor resistance held constant. A six-phase five-level diode clamped converter phase displaced by sixty degrees with a modulation index of 0.8 was modeled to drive the poly-phase machine at a reduced %THD. All machine models were simulated in MATLAB 7.11. The simulation results showed that reduced oscillations in rotor current, motor speed and torque pulsations were achieved at a varied external rotor resistance and motor inertia.

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are gaining popularity due to renewable energy and the electrification of transportation. Permanent magnet synchronous machines are receiving interest because to their great dependability, low maintenance costs, and high-power density. This research compares surface mounted permanent magnet (SMPM) with interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machines using MATLAB. Mathematical models and simulation analyses of two permanent magnet synchronous machines under regenerative braking are presented. Maximum regeneration power point (MRPP) and torque (MRPP-torque) for two machine types were simulated at variable electrical speed and q-axis current. Simulation results showed IPMSM produced more output power due to saliency than SMPM at varying speed and current with higher MRPP and MRPP-Torque. Simulation was used to compare the dynamic impacts of constant and variable braking torques on an auto-electric drive's speed and produced torque on a plain surface and a sloppy driving plane. 81.68% and 74.95% braking efficiency were measured on level ground and a sloppy plane, respectively. Simulations indicated that lithium-ion battery state of charge varied linearly with constant braking torque and exponentially with varying braking torque, reflecting efficiency values. All simulations were in MATLAB/Simulink 2014.

Abstract

This paper assesses the efficiency level and power loss minimization of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). A modified DFIG equivalent circuit with multi-core resistance connected in parallel was adopted. State-space differential equations of the DFIG was developed incorporating iron and copper loss components while a minimum flux linkage that aids in the minimization of the overall losses was derived. Simulation results showed that losses were minimized when the equivalent core resistances were connected in parallel with minimum permissible current flow. The results obtained during a transient disturbance showed that at different core resistance values of Rfe = 0.75Ω and 0.25Ω, different efficiency values of 83.45% and 41.21% were realized. An unconstrained optimization test carried out on the DFIG variable parameters showed that the DFIG power loss model was controllable with a positive definite value of 691.9801 and 2.9156〖e〗^(+5) for the leading principal determinants of the Hessian matrix. All simulation processes were achieved in MATLAB/Simulink 2020.
