Sensorless control of non-salient PMSM using simultaneous injection of two HF signals
, Article Conference Proceedings - IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition - APEC ; March , 2014 , p. 2463-2468 ; Yaghoubi, M ; Tahami, F ; Bakhshai, A ; Jain, P. K ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In recent years sensorless techniques based on HF carrier injection have become very popular as they are capable to estimate rotor position in a wide speed range. They can provide precise control over interior PMSMs without the accompanying need for a position sensor. However, in surface-mounted PMSMs, the estimation of rotor position is only reliable at light loads due to the very small saliency arising from main flux saturation. The anisotropy caused by stator flux saturation is not necessarily in alignment with rotor position especially at heavy loads. In this paper a novel solution is proposed to make use of the sensorless scheme in a surface-mounted PMSM even at heavy loads

Abstract
In this paper, the reactive power control of a variable-speed permanent-magnet synchronous wind generator with a matrix converter at the grid side is improved. A generalized modulation technique based on singular value decomposition of the modulation matrix is used to model different modulation techniques and investigate their corresponding input reactive power capability. Based on this modulation technique, a new control method is proposed for the matrix converter which uses active and reactive parts of the generator current to increase the control capability of the grid-side reactive current compared to conventional modulation methods. A new control structure is also proposed which can...
Sensorless control of PMSMs with tolerance for delays and stator resistance uncertainties

Abstract
Position sensorless control of ac machines at zero and low speed is possible using high-frequency carrier injection methods. These methods utilize anisotropic properties of rotor. Therefore, they may lose their efficiency for nonsalient machines or machines with small rotor saliency. In these machines, measurement noise and offset, existing delays, as well as model uncertainties may lead to inaccurate estimation of rotor position. Stator resistance which is usually neglected in these methods may also lead to a considerable error especially in machines with small rotor saliency. In this paper, a new position estimation method is presented, and it is shown that in comparison to conventional...

Abstract
This paper aims at investigating the interaction of two flexible permanent magnet beams facing each other. The governing equations of motion are obtained based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam model along with Hamiltons principle. Assuming that the beams tips are far enough, each magnet beam is considered as a series of dipole segments and the external force and moment distributions over each beam due to the magnetic field of the other one is calculated in the deformed configuration. The transverse deflections of the beams are written as series expansions of the mode shapes of an unloaded cantilever beam and the Galerkin method is applied to determine the stability and resonance frequencies....

Abstract
This Letter tries to find the area in parameter space of a non-salient Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) in which chaos can occur. This area is briefly named as chaotic area. The predicted chaotic area is obtained by checking some conditions which are necessary for existence of chaos in a dynamical system. In this Letter, it is assumed that this machine is in the generator mode, and its model is based on direct and quadrature axis of stator voltages and currents. The information of the predicted area is used in non-chaotic maximum power control of torque in the machine
Compensation of transient error in sensorless alternating carrier injection scheme
, Article IECON Proceedings (Industrial Electronics Conference) ; 2012 , Pages 1702-1706 ; 9781467324212 (ISBN) ; Tahami, F ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
High frequency (HF) carrier injection schemes can estimate rotor position in a wide speed range. In these methods, first a HF voltage is injected to stator windings and then the corresponding HF current is exploited to estimate the position of rotor using a closed loop tracking observer. The tracking observer is capable to track rotor saliency with no steady state error. However when the motor starts to move or whenever the rotor speed changes a transient error appears. In this paper a new solution is proposed to compensate the transient error in estimation of rotor position

Abstract
An analytical solution for obtaining steady-state eddy-current-based force on a levitated permanent magnet above a plate with linear conductivity in the field of an electromagnet having cylindrical symmetry is presented in this paper. In literature, the force due to eddy current in this levitation system have been used for high precision positioning of a levitated permanent magnet without providing an explicit analytical model. In this system, a change in the coil's current and also the motion of the levitated permanent magnet in 3-D space generate eddy current in the plate. A novel explicit solution for obtaining damping forces due to these eddy currents is obtained as a function of...

Abstract
Although permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are inherently of high efficiency, their efficiency is enormously dependent on their control strategy. The purpose of this paper is to improve the efficiency of PMSMs under a direct torque control (DTC) method. The main idea behind the proposed method is to predict a required small change of the statorflux amplitude at each sampling period to reduce the machine electrical loss before the change is applied. Accordingly, at every sampling time, a voltage vector is predicted and applied to the machine to change the flux amplitude in a xvay that the electrical loss decreases. The results of simulation show significant improvement in the...

Abstract
Sensorless schemes based on HF carrier injection are capable of estimating rotor position in a wide speed range. In these schemes first an additional HF voltage is injected to stator windings. The corresponding HF current is decoupled from main stator currents and the position of the rotor saliency is estimated based on the decoupled HF current in a closed loop tracking observer. The tracking observer is capable of tracking rotor saliency with no steady state error. Transient error appears when the motor starts to move or whenever the rotor speed changes because of any disturbance or any change in the rotor speed command. In this paper a new solution is proposed in order to compensate for...

Abstract
The combination of direct torque control and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) provides a highly dynamic drive. In this paper direct torque control method of PMSM is merged with a sensorless control algorithm and a robust flux observer is proposed which results in a high performance highly reliable drive. First a high frequency signal injection method within DTC algorithm is introduced to estimate the rotor position of PMSM. Then the method is modified in order to estimate stator dynamic inductances. The stator inductances are then used in a current model flux observer

Sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motors allows reducing cost and complexity, and increasing mechanical robustness and noise immunity. Sensorless methods based on high frequency carrier injection have attracted considerable attention in recent years as they can estimate rotor position in a wide speed range. These methods employ anisotropic properties of rotor to estimate rotor position in ac machines. With internal permanent magnet motors, the high frequency signal injection method can deliver precise sensorless control, however in surface-mounted permanent magnet machines, where a small saliency arises from main flux saturation, the estimation of rotor magnet position is...

, Article Telkomnika ; Volume 9, Issue 2 , 2011 , Pages 237-244 ; 16936930 (ISSN) ; Nademi, H ; Rezaei, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives have many advantages over other drives, i.e. high efficiency and high power density. Particularly, PMSMs are epoch-making and are intensively studied among researchers, scientists and engineers. This paper deals with a novel high performance controller based on genetic algorithm. The scheme allows the motor to be driven with maximum torque per ampere characteristic. In this paper assuming an appropriate fitness function, the optimum values for d-axis current of motor set points at each time are found and then applied to the controller. Simulation results show the successful operation of the proposed controller

Design of Three-Phase to Single-phase Converter Suitable for Small Range Wind Turbine with PMSG
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Mokhtari, Hossein (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this research a special Three-Phase to Single-Phase converter has been proposed to connect a three-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) of a wind turbine to a single-phase network. Common back-to-back converter used for this application employs a bulk capacitor in its DC link to generate the pulsating component of the single-phase side instantaneous power. This capacitor is costly and reduces system overall reliability. This problem is alleviated in this work by providing the single-phase load pulsating power using the PMSG large inductances. The proposed system leaves the PMSG torque ripple-free while providing the single-phase load power. With the help of this method,...
Sensor-Less Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Using High Frequency Signal Injection
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Tahami, Farzad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis one of the sensorless methods which exploits the existing anisotropies of the rotor is utilized to estimate rotor position. In order to implement this method, first a high frequency voltage is injected in a specific, time-varying direction and then the corresponding current response would be observed in order to estimate the rotor saliency position. The estimation of rotor position would be more precise as the magnetic anisotropy due to rotor saliency increases and as a result the effect of noise and different disturbances in estimation of rotor position would be decresed. The effect of stator resistence is one of these disturbances which is usually neglected as a result of...

Synchronous machines is one of the most popular machines in industry and in power plants. Because the dynamic of this machine is nonlinear, it can exhibit complex behaviors. In this project we have studied a special case in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines. A case in which speed of rotor, frequency, currents amplitude and voltages amplitude change in an irregular manner. This special case is called chaos. Chaos occurs for some specific values of parameters and inputs. In this study in the first step, we have tried to find the chaotic area of parameters of system (Prediction of chaos). Then in the next step, we have designed some controllers which can eliminate chaos in the system. The...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Tahami, Farzad (Supervisor)
Abstract
The global wind energy capacity has been increased rapidly in the past few years and became the fastest developing renewable energy technology. Small Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSG’s) are widely used in low power wind turbines because they don’t need a gearbox and complicated control systems. In order to inject the electrical power generated by PMSG to the grid, an AC-DC-AC power electronic converter is required. A novel low cost efficient AC-DC converter is proposed to obtain the maximum power per ampere of PMSG. The new structure for the rectifier stage of the AC/AC converter is based on a DCM operated SEPIC converter and can convert the variable voltage and frequency of...
