  • Publication number: 20240386166
    Abstract: A modeling method for electromagnetic forces and vibration response of a SPM machine, belonging to the field of combined electromagnetic field and structural mechanics computation. First, build the circuit-based EMN model, regular EMN model, and discrete EMN model with equivalent magnetic source and permeance for the different regions of the SPM machine. Second, based on the spatial relationships between each part in the SPM machine, the EMN models of each region are interconnected to form a complete model of the discrete EMN model. The non-sinusoidal high-frequency current harmonics are introduced as input excitation to the discrete EMN model. The global nonlinear matrix equation is solved simultaneously to determine the magnetic flux density in the air gap permeance elements, enabling the air gap electromagnetic force density calculation. Subsequently, the calculated electromagnetic force density is transformed into concentrated forces on the surface of the stator teeth.

  • Patent number: 12003203
    Abstract: A model predictive decomposition control method and device for an open-winding five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor is provided. The method includes obtaining the voltage component in the stationary coordinate system under the orientation of the rotor magnetic field, synthesizing the virtual voltage vector that can eliminate the voltage vector in harmonic space according to the vector distribution of the five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor under the voltage source inverter. The open winding permanent magnet synchronous motor topology is equivalent to the superposition of the independent actions of two inverters. The voltage vector generated by a single inverter is predicted through the mathematical model of the motor. The expected increment is a judgment condition to determine whether the open winding system uses one of the two inverters to maintain the normal operation of the open winding system, or the first inverter is clamped and the second inverter generates the remaining increment.

  • Patent number: 10574164
    Abstract: The invention proposes a fault-tolerant field-oriented control method of five-phase interior permanent-magnet fault-tolerant linear motor (IPM-FTLM) with two nonadjacent short-circuit phase faults. Firstly, the extended Clark transformation matrix can be obtained according to the principle that magnetic motive force (MMF) keeps constant before and after the two-phase open-circuit faults, the constraint that the sum of healthy phase currents is zero and the adjacent two-phase current amplitude is equal. The back electric motive force (EMF) can be estimated by the transposed matrix. The nonlinear strong coupling system becomes the first-order inertia system when using the internal mode controller, the first-order inertia feed-forward voltage compensator and back-EMF observer, as the motor is with fault.

  • Patent number: 10541595
    Abstract: Disclosed is a double-stator linear vernier permanent magnet (DS-LVPM) motor and method to increase the magnetic field modulation effect. The motor contains a primary, and first and second secondaries on both sides of the primary, spaced by an air gap. The motor secondary includes modulation teeth. The primary is bilaterally symmetrical, and permanent magnets (PM) are embedded in the yoke of the primary core elements. The design solves the inherent problem of flux leakage at the end of PMs for conventional VPM motors, so as to improve utilization of PMs, thereby increasing thrust density of the motors. Additionally, the motor secondaries are laminated by silicon steel sheet, which saves PM material and significantly reduces cost for linear long stroke applications. By adjusting PM structure parameters, the design can use finite element method (FEM) to calculate repeatedly to get PM structure parameters corresponding to maximum electromotive force (EMF).
