  • Patent number: 10608559
    Abstract: An electrical machine system with mechanically and electrically coupled sub-machines, which have common magnetic sections and common coils and are connected by way of mechanical transmission systems, wherein adjacent sub-machines have mutually opposed directions of rotation with equal rotational speeds, and the mechanical coupling is specified by a transmission functionality, which at the same time defines the transmission ratio of rotor speed to transmission output drive rotational speed.

  • Patent number: 6768237
    Abstract: Electric motor system including at least a first electric motor that includes a first rotor. The first rotor is mechanically coupled to an engine. At least a second electric motor includes a second rotor. The second rotor is mechanically coupled to a mechanical aggregate. An electronic power system is also included. Each of the first electric motor and the second electrical motor is electrically coupled to one another via the electronic power system in order to exchange electric power at a freely selectable voltage level.

  • Patent number: 6479971
    Abstract: A method is provided for regulating a three-phase machine functioning under any operational conditions without a mechanical rotary transducer. The machine is supplied with D.C. power by an inverter, where parameters of a D.C. link using an actual switching state of the inverter are detected for regulation. The method includes measuring (1) flow direction required for field-oriented control in asynchronous machines, and (2) rotor position for rotor-oriented control in synchronous machines. The measuring is performed by using spatial magnetic conductivity fluctuations in the machine. The conductivity fluctuations are detected using parameters for a D.C. link. An actual switching state of an inverter is used in the measuring process. Mathematical evaluation to calculate flow direction or rotor direction is then performed.

  • Patent number: 6373160
    Abstract: Electric rotary current machine that includes a casing and a stator fitted within the casing. The stator has at least one stator winding. At least two mechanically separate rotors are rotatably mountable within the casing and have a same axis of rotation. In this way, each rotor has electromagnetic interaction with the stator when the stator is electromagnetically active. The rotor speeds are the same or different. A motor control is arranged to control a supply to at least one of said at least one stator winding by superposition of at least two rotary field components, one for each rotor.

  • Patent number: 5339012
    Abstract: A method and circuit arrangement for the sensor-less detection of the angle of rotation of a synchronous machine without a damper is disclosed. According to the disclosed method and circuit arrangement, measuring signals are used which correspond to voltage jumps or pulses generated by a rectifier and the measuring data obtained are provided to a calculating device which calculates the position of the rotor from the dependence of the stator reactance, whereby premagnetization is set when the synchronous machine is started and a measurement is made on each field weakening and strengthening effect. The advantage of the invention resides in both its high precision and the fact that no additional analog current sources are needed to locate the magnet wheel. In addition, the magnet wheel can be located at any load.
