AC to DC converter that consists of relatively simple diode rectifier devices has been widely used in the field of the electric propulsion system. Also, since this rectifier includes large harmonics in the input current, a variety of researches have been developed to reduce the harmonics. The proposed method of this paper is to reduce the harmonics included in the input current of rectifiers and propulsion motor by injecting the output current of diode rectifier into the input of them. In addition, the proposed method ensures electrical safety through the respective isolation of the injection current, the source, and the loads using the Wye-Delta insulating transformer applied in current injection device that is installed in the input circuit of rectifiers and propulsion motor. The proposed method is simulated by applying to the electric propulsion ship that is currently operating. We confirm the validity of the proposed method compared with conventional power conversion system.

본 논문에서는 y결선 된 7상 BLDC 전동기의 최대 효율 제어를 위한 새로운 권선 여자 방식을 제안한다. 다상 BLDC 전동기의 기본동작은 N상 (N-1)여자 방식이다. 하지만 여자되는 권선수를 감소시켜도 동작이 가능하다. 수중 추진 시스템의 동일한 부하 조건에서 다상 BLDC 전동기는 여자되는 권선수에 따라 발생하는 손실이 다르기 때문에 최대 효율 제어를 위해서는 여자되는 권선의 수를 조정해야 한다. 전동기의 동손과 인버터 시스템의 전기적인 손실은 기존의 논문과 IGBT 제조사의 애플리케이션 노트를 활용하여 계산이 가능하다. 따라서 동일한 부하조건에서 다상 BLDC 전동기의 여자되는 권선수에 대한 전기적인 손실과 전동기의 동손을 분석하고 최대 효율 운전을 위한 새로운 권선 여자 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

This paper describes independent phase BLDC motor with a maximum torque among BLDC motor used for electric propulsion system Independent phase BLDC motor has characteristic that phases of stator we independent electrically. This paper is modeling two type of 3 phases BLDC motors, one has Y-connection type and the other has independent type, and it shows simulation of them, compares its characteristics. As a result of simulation, phase voltage of independent 3 phase BLDC motor is higher than Y-connection three phase BLDC motor. When the stator resistance and inductance are stable, high phase voltage causes an increase in maximum phase current and an increases in it serially causes an increase of maximum torque. It is also found that the current pulsation of independent phase BLDC motor was decreased by controlling phase current of independent BLDC motor.

최근 산업기기의 대형화로 인하여 전기기기 및 전력기기의 고효율 대용량 설계에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 그 동안에는 대용량 전동기로 주로 유도전동기와 릴럭턴스 전동기가 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 유도전동기는 저속에서의 효율이 낮으며 회전자의 열손실이 효율과 역률을 저하시키는 단점이 있고, 릴럭턴스 전동기는 구조 및 동작원리 상 큰 맥동토크로 인하여 소음과 진동이 매우 크다. 이에 효율과 역률이 좋고 고속운전이 가능한 영구자석형 전동기에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되었고 최근에는 영구자석 재질(희토류계)의 발달함로 인하여 고속 대용량 자석계자형 BLDC와 영구자석형 동기전동기의 설계가 가능해져 대형기에 많이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 대용량 전기기기의 경우 그 크기와 부피가 매우 크고 대전류 대전압의 전원을 공급하여야 하기 때문에 인버터부를 병렬 연결하여야 하므로 제어부를 포함한 전동기의 설치 공간이 증가해 지는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인버터를 전동기의 회전자 내부에 배치한 인버터 내부형 5[MW]급 BLDC 전동기를 설계하고자 하였다.

In this paper, we analyze the current submarine cooling system and study control algorithms for cooling system. Cooling system are installed in the submarine propulsion motor to protect the motor from high-temperature by iron loss and copper loss. The cooling system control the sea water and fresh water pump RPM to keep the motor temperature stable by external environment and motor RPM holding time. The cooling system simulation program is made for checking the cooling performance, and simulation is performed with various control strategy. The results with proposed cooling algorithm is shown to improve the thermal stability and efficiency of cooling system.

This paper will describe the optimal design of an induction motor for the propulsion of an electric railway. First, the design requirements are satisfied through the basic model, which is designed in a design process using the equivalent circuit. Then, Rotor slot and Airgap are determined by analysis and comparison of torque, torque ripple, efficiency, and power factor. In addition, Rotor slot shape is optimized by using the response surface method. Finally, through the results of equivalent circuit and FEA, the final model is found to satisfy the design requirements; its efficiency was far higher than that of the basic model.

An induction motor based on DTC(Direct Torque Control) is being increasingly used in various industrial applications. DTC offers faster torque response and better speed control with lesser hardware and processing costs in compared with other controlled drives. This study was to evaluate performance of DTC for induction motor of electric propulsion ship. The simulation results indicated good speed and torque response from the low to middle speed range. Also, DTC has advantages such as the independency on motor parameter.

Harmonics (or distortion in wave form) has always existed in electrical power systems. It is harmless as long as its level is not substantial. However, with the recent rapid advancement of power electronics technology, so-called nonlinear loads, such as variable frequency drives for motor power/speed control, are increasingly finding their way to shipboard or offshore applications. In this paper a new approach to direct torque control (DTC) of induction motor drive is presented. In comparison with the conventional DTC methods the inverter switching frequency is constant and is dramatically increased, requiring neither any increase of the sampling frequency, nor any high frequency dither signal. The well-developed space vector modulation technique is applied to inverter control in the proposed DTC-based induction motor drive system, thereby dramatically reducing the current harmonics. As compared to the existing DTC approach with constant inverter switching frequency, the presented new approach does not invoke any concept of deadbeat control, thereby dramatically reducing the computations.
