This paper deals with a characteristic that varies the number of magnetic pole in permanent magnet (PM) motor in order to reduce energy consumption. The pole changing memory motor (PCMM) can change the number of magnetic poles and produce two types of torque. When the motor operates with eight poles, it produces a magnetic torque at low rotational speeds. When the motor changes to four poles, it produces both magnetic torque and reluctance torque at high speeds. The paper explain the principle and basic characteristics of the motor by using a finite element method magnetic-field analysis, which consists of a PM magnetized by a pulse d-axis current of the armature winding. The results of our experiment show that the proposed motor reduces core loss by 10% and 55% under no-load and load conditions, and doubles the speed range of the motor.

Occurrence of pressure pulsation in positive displacement hydraulic turbine is one of the principal problems which should be cleared to improve the turbine performance and to put the turbine to practical use. Therefore, present study is tried to examine the occurrence mechanism and characteristics of the pressure pulsation CFD analysis and experimental measurement are implemented in this study to clarify the phenomena of unsteady pressure pulsation. The results show that occurrence reason of the pressure pulsation is not only due to a series of opening and closing of the chamber formed between rotor and casing wall but also due to the variation of rotational speed of following rotor. The pressure pulsation causes torque variation and the curve patterns of the torque variation conforms to that of the pressure pulsation. Pressure in the chamber is equal to the averaged value of inlet and outlet pressures. Sudden pressure decrease by accelerated through-flow between lobe and casing wall results in torque loss.

Torque characteristics of a turbopump turbine was analyzed using the turbine performance test result. Specific torque of the subject turbine could be expressed as a linear function of corrected rotor speed at a fixed pressure ratio and it has been confirmed by the test result. It also found that corrected rotor speed-specific torque characteristics does not change anymore if the turbine pressure ratio is set bigger than a certain value. Using the turbine torque characteristics and pyro-starter performance test results, rotational speed development behavior of the turbopump was predicted. Prediction revealed that the lap time reaching 50% of turbopump design speed is less than 0.7 second. Effect of the thermal loss between pyro-starter and turbopump was negligible.

In normal robot control systems without any actuator failures, it is assumed that actuator torque coefficients applied at each joint have normally 1's all the time. However, it is more practical that actuator torque coefficients applied at each joint are nonlinear time-varying. In other words, it has to be considered that actuators equipped at joints may fail due to hardware or software faults. In this work, actuator torque coefficients are assumed to have non-zero values at all joints. In the case of an actuator torque coefficient which has a zero value at a joint, it means the complete loss of torque on the joint. This paper doesn't deal with the case. As factors of performance degradation of robots, both actuator failures and uncertainties are considered in this paper at the same time. This paper proposes a robust adaptive fault-tolerant control scheme to maintain the required performance and achieve task completion for robot manipulators with performance degradation due to actuator failures and uncertainties. Simulation results are shown to verify the fault tolerance and robustness of the Proposed control scheme.

This paper presents a loss-minimizing vector control method for interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM). Conventionally, maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control, which minimizes copper loss, has been widely used in industry. Iron loss, however, is not considered in MTPA control. In this paper, the loss model, including iron loss and copper loss, is derived to further reduce drive loss. The loss-minimizing vector controller is implemented based on the loss model. The controller generates optimal current vectors according to the operating conditions. The performance and validity of the proposed method are proved by experimental results through comparison with conventional methods.

This paper describes dual inverter drive for a fractional-slot concentrated winding permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). PMSMs are widely used in many applications from small servo motors to few megawatts generators thanks to its high efficiency and torque density. Especially, fractional-slot concentrated winding PMSM is very popular in the applications where wide operation range is required because it shows very wide constant power speed ratios. High speed operation, however, requires lots of negative daxis current for reducing back-EMF regardless of output torque. Field weakening current does not contribute to the torque generation in surface mounted PMSM case and causes inverter and copper loss. To reduce the losses from field weakening current, this paper proposes PMSM with split stator and parallel dual inverter drive. Proposed parallel dual inverter drive reduces back-EMF and enables efficient drive at high speed and light load situation. Control strategy of proposed dual inverter system is established through loss analysis and simulation. Proposed concept is verified with practical experiment.

Hysteresis motor is a synchronous machine which has simple structure and self-start characteristic but also has serious difficulties in numerical analysis. In this study, a finite element analysis for hysteresis motor considering the hysteresis characteristics is presented. The hysteresis model is the magnetization-dependent Preisach model which explains hysteresis phenomena very well. From this, we estimate the instantaneous torque, average torque and hysteresis loss of the rotor, considering slot and winding distribution.

Time switch is widely used to reduce the energy loss by selecting the duration of daily-based operating pattern for the electrical apparatus. Driving force of the time switch is the single-phase step motor which has the starting torque due to the asymmetrical airgap. Cogging and total torque of the tapered-airgap motor is analyzed by finite element method.
