Experimental Comparison of Remedial Single-Channel Operations for Redundant Flux-Switching Permanent-Magnet Motor Drive

Abstract

Abstract-Redundant flux-switching permanent-magnet (R-FSPM) motor is a new fault-tolerant machine having PMs in the stator, offering high efficiency, high reliability, and robust structure. This paper proposes two remedial control strategies for fault-tolerant operations of the R-FSPM motor drive in the single-channel (SC) mode. First, by doubling the healthy-channel currents, the reduced torque due to one channel loss can be remedied, the so-called remedial brushless AC (BLAC) operation mode. Second, by injecting harmonic current (IHC) considering harmonic back-EMF effect, the reduced torque can also be smoothly remedied, the so-c alled remedial IHC operation mode. Finally, both of the proposed remedial control strategies are verified by co-simulation and experimentation, hence confirming the validity of the proposed fault-tolerant R-FSPM motor drive.

Improvement to Performance of Solid-Rotor-Ringed Line-Start Axial-Flux Permanent-Magnet Motor

“…A major difficulty for transient simulation is that induced currents on the rotor rings must be calculated in each step before the torque is calculated. Note that finite element method (FEM) facilitates field analysis of electromagnetic problems with complex geometries [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. The proposed LSAFPM machine has a unique construction, and its lack of symmetry makes 3D-FEA a design requisite.…”

Multi-Phase Synchronous Motor Solution for Steering Applications

“…is to use more and more electric actuators, thus increasing comfort and safety and helping to improve performance, reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Average number of existing electric motors in a car is somewhere in the figure 30 and will grow in the future to 100 [1][2][3][4].…”

Magnetic Field of Tubular Linear Machines With Dual Halbach Array

“…Generally, there are two typical ways to formulate magnetic field of electromagnetic machines, i.e., FEM [16] and magnetic equivalent circuits [17]. FEM is an efficient and accurate means to calculate magnetic field, taking full account of nonlinearity of iron material and induced currents in electrically conducting parts [18][19][20]. However, it is time consuming and cannot give much insight into design parameters [21].…”
