Permanent magnet machines with segmented stator cores are affected by additional harmonic components of the cogging torque which cannot be minimized by conventional methods adopted for one-piece stator machines. In this study, a novel approach is proposed to minimize the cogging torque of such machines. This approach is based on the design of multiple independent shapes of the tooth tips through a topological optimization. Theoretical studies define a design formula that allows to choose the number of independent shapes to be designed, based on the number of stator core segments. Moreover, a computationally-efficient heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms and artificial neural network-based surrogate models solves the topological optimization and finds the optimal tooth tips shapes. Simulation studies with the finite element method validates the design formula and the effectiveness of the proposed method in suppressing the additional harmonic components. Moreover, a comparison with a conventional heuristic approach based on a genetic algorithm directly coupled to finite element analysis assesses the superiority of the proposed approach. Finally, a sensitivity analysis on assembling and manufacturing tolerances proves the robustness of the proposed design method.
Parameter identification of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) represents a well-established research area. However, parameter estimation of multiple running machines in large-scale applications has not yet been investigated. In this context, a flexible and automated approach is required to minimize complexity, costs, and human interventions without requiring machine information. This paper proposes a novel identification strategy for surface PMSMs (SPMSMs), highly suitable for large-scale systems. A novel multistep approach using measurement data at different operating conditions of the SPMSM is proposed to perform the parameter identification without requiring signal injection, extra sensors, machine information, and human interventions. Thus, the proposed method overcomes numerous issues of the existing parameter identification schemes. An IoT/cloud architecture is designed to implement the proposed multistep procedure and massively perform SPMSM parameter identifications. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
ABSTRACT:The aim of the research has been the developing and implementing an algorithm for automated extraction of features from LIDAR scenes with varying terrain and coverage types. This applies the moment of third order (Skweness) and fourth order (Kurtosis). While the first has been applied in order to produce an initial filtering and data classification, the second, through the introduction of the weights of the measures, provided the desired results, which is a finer classification and less noisy. The process has been carried out in Matlab but to reduce processing time, given the large data density, the analysis has been limited at a mobile window. It was, therefore, arranged to produce subscenes in order to covers the entire area. The performance of the algorithm, confirm its robustness and goodness of results. Employment of effective processing strategies to improve the automation is a key to the implementation of this algorithm. The results of this work will serve the increased demand of automation for 3D information extraction using remotely sensed large datasets. After obtaining the geometric features from LiDAR data, we want to complete the research creating an algorithm to vector features and extraction of the DTM. * Corresponding author.
