This paper presents a new permanent magnet (PM) assisted topology for a recently introduced brushless wound rotor synchronous machine (BL-WRSM) [1]. The BL-WRSM had a dual-inverter configuration for generating a composite magneto motive force (MMF) with a fundamental component and a subharmonic component. The subharmonic component of the MMF is used for brushless excitation of the rotor. In this paper, additional PMs were introduced on the rotor of the BL-WRSM, making it a hybrid BL-WRSM. We also discussed the flux weakening operation for the hybrid BL-WRSM. The hybrid BL-WRSM offered advantages for starting the machine and provided better performance under full-load conditions. The finite element method (FEM) was used to analyze the performance of the hybrid BL-WRSM, and we compared its performance with BL-WRSM. Finally, prototypes were built with and without the PM-assistance, and experiments were conducted to demonstrate their performance.

This paper compares the performances of permanent-magnet synchronous (PMS) and permanent-magnet vernier (PMV) machines for low-speed and high-torque applications. For comparison with the PMS machines, we consider two types of the PMV machine. The first one has surface-mounted permanent magnets (PMs) on the rotor and the other has PMs inserted on both sides of the stator and rotor. The PMS and PMV machines are designed to meet the condition of equal output power per unit volume. We analyze the magnetic fields of the machines using a two-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). We then compare their performances in terms of the generated torque characteristics, power factor, loss, and efficiency.

For the design of a permanent magnet linear synchronous machine with slotless stator structure, this paper addresses a three-dimensional (3D) analytical approach for consideration of end effects. In contrast, analytical method can derive solutions in substantially shorter times with high reliability. Therefore, we derive accurate analytical solutions to dramatically reduce the time need for analysis. In addition, we performed characteristic analysis of permanent magnet linear synchronous machine (PMSLM) according to PM overhang length.

A new approach to the position sensor elimination of PM synchronous motor drives is presented in this study. Using the position sensing characteristics of PMSM itself, the actual rotor position as well as the machine speed can be estimated by adaptive flux observer and used as the feedback signal for the vector controlled PMSM drive. The adaptive speed estimation is achieved by model reference adaptive technique. The adaptive laws are derived by the Popov's hyperstability theory and the positivity concept. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, computer simulations are carried out for the actual parameters of a PM synchronous motor and the results well demonstrate that the proposed scheme provides a good estimation value of the rotor speed without mechanical sensor. It is also shown that the actual rotor position as well as the machine speed can be achieved under the variation of the magnet flux linkage. Since the flux linkages are estimated by the adaptive flux observer and used for the identification of the rotor speed, robust estimation of the rotor speed can be performed.

A simple and robust digital current control technique for a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor under the parameter variations is presented. Among the various current control schemes for an inverter-fed PM synchronous motor drive, the predictive control is known to give a superior performance. This scheme, however, requires the full knowledge of machine parameters and operating conditions, and cannot give a satisfactory response under the parameter mismatch. To overcome such a limitation, the disturbances caused by the parameter variations will be estimated by using a disturbance observer theory and used for the computation of the reference voltages by a feedforward control. Thus, the steady-state control performance can be significantly improved with a relatively simple control algorithm, while retaining the good characteristics of the predictive control. The proposed control scheme is implemented on a PM synchronous motor using the software of DSP TMS320C30 and the effectiveness is verified through the comparative simulations and experiments.

The topological investigations regarding magnetic circuit geometry and winding form of the transverse flux machine have brought up a variety of constructable arrangements with different features for several types of application[1, 2]. Here with, a novel PM-exited linear motor with inner mover, based on the transverse flux configuration leads to a considerable increase in power density for moving part. In this study we designed PM-exited transverse flux linear motor for ropeless elevator, whose output power density is higher and weight is lighter than conventional linear synchronous motors. When the designed motor in this study is applied to ropeless elevator, it is possible to increase power density more than 400% comparing with PM exited linear synchronous motor. The result of this study can be utilized for ropeless elevator or gearless direct linear moving system with high output[3].

The operation principle of an axial flux-switching hybrid excitation synchronous machine (AFHESM) is analyzed and its topology structures are proposed in this paper. After some comprehensive analysis of the operation principle to axial flux electrical machine, flux-switching electrical machine and hybrid excitation electrical machine, the operation principle of AFHESM is given. Combined with some typical topological structures of hybrid excitation electrical machine, some possible topological structures are proposed and some comprehensive comparisons are carried out. The analysis results show that the stator-separated AFHESM has some advantages such as less AM turns, less impact on the demagnetization of PM, less magnetic flux-leakage and higher efficiency compared to other topologies.

Recently more attention is paid to the development of high-speed permanent magnet (PM) synchronous generators driven by gas-turbine, since they are conductive to high efficiency, high power density, small size, low weight, simple mechanical construction, easy maintenance and good reliability. In this paper, the performance analysis of a high-speed PM synchronous generator for military power application considering the min-max operating speed is presented. The output current and power versus DC-link voltage loci can obtained by solving the PM machine's steady-state equations for variable resistive load.

Nowadays due to the remarkable advance of power electronics and micro controller, a Brushless AC servomotor which has the characteristics of the high inertia to torque ratio, the high power density, the maintenance free, and so on is being used widely in industrial robots, machine tools, and factory automation. In a conventional DC motor, the polarity commutation is performed of itself by mechanical brush and commutator, but the PM synchronous motor requires an electrical commutation according to the rotor position. Then for the maximum torque production PM synchronous motor has to be equipped with a controller which maintains the optimal phase angle between the stator field and the magnetic field ...
