Dynamic analysis and maximum stepping rate prediction for permanent magnet motor.

Reduced-order predictors and models are then developed to facilitate rapid analysis and suitable control system design. Specific control philosophies are then discussed. Finally, the feedback control of stepper motors oftentimes relies heavily on costly sensing devices located in the rotor environment. It is the intent of this thesis to demonstrate that in the absence of such rotor signals, a stator signal, namely the dc link current, can be utilized to retrieve an estimate of the velocity perturbation. This allows for the application of the aforementioned control strategies using this estimate."

Abstract: "Variable reluctance stepper motors are commonly used in applications where incremental motion is desired. Recently, these motors have been used in situations which call for a large stepping rate; so large in fact, that the motor turns continuously. Although the equations which describe the stepper motor in this mode are decoupled, they are not time invariant. In order to eliminate the time varying terms, Park's transformation does not render the system equations time invariant, so an averaging technique is employed which does provide the desired time invariance. The averaged model is evaluated by comparing its dynamic response with that of a detailed simulation of the motor in a variety of operating modes. It is found that the averaged model does not adequately represent the motor dynamics under most operating conditions."

To reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses and maintain environmental sustainability, electric vehicles play a vital role in a modern energy-efficient environment. Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are widely employed in electric vehicle technology due to their high dynamic response, better torque-speed characteristics, noiseless operation, high power density, high efficiency and power factor as compared to other conventional motor drives. This book demonstrates the development of various control strategies and illustrates the dynamic performance intensification of a PMSM drive. To ensure the faster dynamic behaviour and flexibility in control under various operating conditions, the performance of a PMSM drive has been explained. Finally, control strategies have been executed through mathematical modelling and illustration of several case studies for optimal operation. Features: Introduces performance indicators in a self-controlled PMSM machine to justify the dynamic behaviour Discusses comparative performance study and optimization of the drive performance Provides a detailed comparative performance analysis between classical and fuzzy logic controllers in a PMSM drive Includes illustrations and case studies using mathematical modelling and real-time test results Discusses the state of the art in solar-powered energy-efficient PMSM drives with various issues This book is aimed at researchers, graduate students and libraries in electrical engineering with specialization in electric vehicles.

The importance of permanent magnet (PM) motor technology and its impact on electromechanical drives has grown exponentially since the publication of the bestselling second edition.
