In this paper a gearless drive system using a permanent-maget synchronous motor for high speed elevators is addressed. The application of permanent magnet synchronous motor to an elevator traction machine enables several improvements including higher efficiency better ride comfort smaller size and lighter weight and so on A PWM boost converter has been also adopted so that DC-link voltage regulation bi-directional power flow and controllable power factor with reduced input current harmonics are possible. To increase the reliability and performance of overall control system the unified control board which can include the car and group controller as well as PWN converter/inverter controller has been designed based on a DSP TMS320VV33. In addition the dynamic load simulator system has been developed so that the drive system of high speed elevator can be tested and evaluated without and limitation on ride distance. Some experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the developed system.

The demand for independent generators using renewable energy has been increasing. Among those independent generators, small wind turbine generators have been actively developed. Permanent magnets are generally used for small wind turbine generators to realize a simple structure and small volume. On the other hand, cogging torque is included due to the structure of the permanent magnet synchronous machine, which can be the source of noise and vibration. The cogging torque can be varied by the shape of the permanent magnet and core, and it can be reduced using the appropriate design techniques. This paper proposes a design technique that can reduce the cogging torque by changing the shape of the permanent magnets for SPMSM (Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor), which is used widely for small wind turbine generators. Evolution Strategy, which is one of non-deterministic optimization techniques, was adopted to find the optimal shape of the permanent magnets that can reduce the cogging torque. The angle and outer diameter of permanent magnet were set as the design variable. A 300W class wind turbine generator, whose pole/slot combination was 8 poles/18 slots, was designed with the proposed design technique. The properties of the generator, including the cogging torque and output voltage, were calculated. The calculation results showed that the cogging torque of the optimized model was reduced compared to that of the initial model. The design technique proposed by this paper can be an effective measure to reduce the cogging torque.

Important category of brushless ac machine design is emerging in which the fundamental component of the stator MMF has fewer poles than the rotor. the torque being developed by a higher order MMF harmonic. The fundamental and lower order MMF harmonics can then give rise to significant rotor eddy currents. An analytical model is developed to predict rotor-induced eddy currents in such machines, and to quantify the effectiveness of circumferentially segmenting the permanent magnets in reducing the rotor loss.

IPM(Interior Permanent Magnet) Machine의 전류 제어는 자기저항에 의존하는 토크특성 때문에 SPM(Surface Permanent Ma- gnet) Machine보다 복잡하다. 고성능 토크제어를 위해서는 d축 전류와 q축 전류의 동특성간의 상태 decoupling이 요구된다. 그러나 전류의 상태 동특성이 coupling된 인덕턴스의 변화(온도, 파라미터들의 부정확한 측정값)는 상태 decoupling을 어렵게 한다. 그래서 이러한 변화와 각각의 전류가 독립적으로 제어될 수 있게 여러 decoupling 방법들에 초점이 맞춰지고있다. 본 연구는 외란에 강하고, 특히 인덕턴스의 변화와 상관없는 이상적인 토크제어를 하기 위해 신경회로망을 이용하여 슬라이딩 평면(sliding surface)을 구성하고, SMC(Sliding Mode Control)를 이용하여 상태 cross-coupling의 decoupling을 위한 새로운 접근을 제안한다. 이 방법은 PI제어 성능과 SMC의 강인성을 알고리즘을 이용하여 결합한 것이라고 볼 수도 있다.

This paper examines the effect of the magnetization pattern on the partial demagnetization of a permanent magnet (PM) machine that uses a ferrite magnet. Although the use of halbach-magnetized PM (HMPM) arrays in PM machines has been dramatically increasing because of their attractive features, the demagnetization characteristics of HMPM arrays have not yet been examined. In this study, two analyses of the demagnetization characteristics of HMPM arrays and parallel magnetized PMs (PMPMs) are performed, with the demagnetization characteristics being analyzed using a finite element method. According to our results, partial demagnetization occurred dramatically in the HMPM arrays. Thus, it is important to consider the vulnerability of HMPM arrays when designing PM machines.

Due to various advantages over the conventional linear motion device such as ball-screw, linear motors have been used in wide variety of industrial applications for years. Driven by increased demand for precision machine tools, the importance of high positioning accuracy, high stiffness and high thrust are greatly increasing.

The axial flux machine has higher power density than conventional radial flux machine, so it is widely applied to various industrial area, for instance, low speed wind power generator. For the conventional radial flux machine, 2D finite element method (FEM) is generally applied, but axial flux machine has to employ 3D FEM with long analysis time due to its own structural characteristic. This paper deals with the performance comparison of axial flux machine according to volume.
