An ideal positioning response is very difficult to realize in the large electric cylinder system that is applied in missile launcher because of the presence of many nonlinear factors such as load disturbance, parameter variations, lost motion, and friction. This paper presents a piecewise control strategy based on the optimized positioning principle. The combined application of position interpolation method and modified incremental PID with dead band is proposed and applied into control system. The experimental result confirms that this combined control strategy is not only simple to be applied into high accuracy real-time control system but also significantly improves dynamic response, steady accuracy, and anti-interference performance, which has very important significance to improve the smooth control of the large electric cylinder.
Establishing the analytical model for accurately predicting the transmitted torque of the permanent magnet eddy current coupler (PMEC) with double conductor rotors is very important to study the nonlinear transmission performance of the PMEC. In this paper, based on magnetic equivalent circuit (MEC) approaches, considering the effects of permanent magnet (PM) end leakage, side leakage, and back iron saturation, the 3D magnetic field model of the PMEC is established. Based on the magnetic field model, combined with Faraday’s law and Ampere’s law, the 3D nonlinear model of the PMEC is established. The proposed model adopts the Jenei method to describe the inductance limited eddy current field. The theoretical data, 3D finite element method (FEM) data, and experimental data are compared. The research shows that the predicted value of the analytical model matches well with the torque obtained by 3D FEM and experiments in the range of 0-100% slip, with an error less than 5.3% observed. Finally, the influence of structural parameters on the transmission performance of the PMEC is studied by using the proposed model.
There is a serious nonlinear relationship between slip and torsion of permanent magnet eddy current magnetic couplings (Pmec) and how to establish mathematical model is very important to study characteristics, optimize parameters and improve control accuracy. Based on magnetic equivalent circuit (Mec), Faraday’s law and Ampere’s law, considering the sensibility of alternating eddy current field, an improved theoretical model of the Pmec is proposed. In this model, greenhouse method is used to describe the inductance of eddy current field, and the factors such as magnetic flux leakage, skin effect and eddy current transverse effect are fully considered. By comparing the proposed model with those of the finite element method (Fem) and experiment, the results show that the proposed model can calculate the torque quickly and accurately without any correction factor. Within the range of 0-100% slip, the predicted torque values of the proposed method match well with those obtained by 3-D Fem and experimental measurements. The proposed model is also proved to be effective in the performance study of the Pmec with different design parameters. The proposed model and 3-D Fem are used to study the influence of structural parameters on the transmission performance of the Pmec, which provides effective reference for the design of the Pmec.
Structural parameters of giant magnetostrictive actuator (GMA) have a greater impact on its output characteristics and how to design them is related to give full play to the material characteristics. On the basis of analyzing working principle of GMA, this paper respectively designs and optimizes the structural parameters of exciting coil, magnetic circuit, preload device and temperature control system. The initial best working conditions are achieved by research on static experiments. The experiment results show that this GMA has better static and dynamic output characteristic, which further improves GMA design theory and expands its applications.
There is a serious nonlinear between the sensitive parameters and the transmission capacity of the permanent magnet eddy current magnetic coupler (PMEC), and how to establish the accurate analytical model is very important to study its characteristics, optimize design and improve control accuracy. In order to solve the problem that the accuracy of analytical model deteriorates under the variable parameters of the PMEC, based on the electromagnetic-thermal theory, the electromagnetic-thermal nonlinearity of materials, such as the thermal effect of magnetic properties, the thermal effect of permeability, the thermal effect of conductivity, the magnetic saturation effect, the skin effect, the eddy current inductive reactance, have been deeply studied in this paper. On this basis, the multi-field coupling analytical model of the PMEC sensitive parameters and material electromagnetic thermal nonlinearity is established by using the magnetic equivalent circuit theory and lumped parameter thermal network method. Combined with numerical simulation and experiment, the research on electromagnetic characteristics, temperature characteristics and transmission characteristics of the PMEC are carried out. The comparative study shows that the proposed analytical model can accurately analyze the electromagnetic characteristics, temperature characteristics and transmission characteristics of the PMEC without any correction coefficient under different parameters. The accuracy of the analytical model with variable parameters is effectively solved, and the model theory of the PMEC is improved. The accurate analytical modeling method has laid theoretical foundation for the rapid optimization design and wide application of the PMEC.
Turbine is one of the key components of the ocean thermal energy conversion system (OTEC), and its aerodynamic performance and geometric dimension affect the performance of the system directly. This paper proposes a design method for the radial inflow turbine suitable for the ocean thermal energy conversion based on the parameter optimization of the ocean thermal energy conversion system. Aiming at the application characteristics of marine thermal energy conversion in a small temperature difference environment and the special thermophysical properties of the organic working fluid in this environment, one-dimensional design and three-dimensional CFD analysis of the turbine is separately done, of which the results were compared. At the same time, the performance of the turbine was verified by changing the inlet and outlet conditions of the radial turbine under the design conditions. The conclusion is that the three-dimensional CFD results of the turbine are in good agreement with the one-dimensional design, and the internal flow field of the turbine is stable, without obvious backflow and eddy current, which meets the application requirements of the ocean thermal energy conversion.
This study selects five parameters as decision variables for the optimization design of an ocean thermal energy conversion system, including the evaporating temperature, the condensing temperature, the pinch-point temperature difference between the evaporator and condenser, and the working fluid flow rate. The optimization goal is to maximize the net output power per unit area and the exergy efficiency. The final scheme is comprehensively screened out from the Pareto solution set through some evaluation indexes. Finally, this study also analyzes the effects of four decision variables on the optimization objectives and the evaluation indexes. This study finds that evaporating temperature and condensing temperature have similar effects on the two objective functions. However, the pinch-point temperature difference has different effects on them. The back work ratio is obviously affected by the condensing temperature. A small pinch-point temperature difference is beneficial and improves the performance of an ocean thermal energy conversion system. The effects of evaporating temperature and condensing temperature on the investment cost per unit net output power are roughly similar to those on the net output power per unit heat exchange area. However, the effects of the pinch-point temperature difference on the two performance aspects are inconsistent.
