    In this paper, major issues and solutions of a GaN based modified non-isolated integrated on-board charger
    (IOBC) using a low value zero sequence inductance of traction motor and an inverter for class A and B segment electric vehicles (EV's) with dual power conversion stages are discussed. The major issues of cost and volume due to the presence of a high value of dc-link capacitor and an extra high current contactor
    in the IOBC are highlighted and feasible hardware and control solutions are proposed. Another major issue concerning the safety issue of a non-isolated IOBC due to the presence of ground leakage current above the permissible standard limit is also brought out and feasible hardware solutions are proposed. The solutions to the issues of the modified IOBC configuration are verified from suitable simulation and experimental results.

    In this paper, the turn-to-turn insulation lifetime of a dual inverter fed open winding interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (OWIPMSM) is compared with a conventional single inverter fed star-connected interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (SCIPMSM) for an EV traction application via an on-line experiment. A twisted pair coil (TP) is connected between the line-to-line terminal of windings of an OWIPMSM and a SCIPMSM without rotor and the effect of the line-to-line terminal surge voltage on the turn-to-turn insulation lifetime using the TP is investigated by generating PWM pulses at the inverter output identical to a variable load traction inverter drive. The turn-to-turn insulation life of the TP windings is approximately estimated by measuring the capacitance of the TP windings at regular time intervals during the on-line testing. Finally, experiment is carried out to detect the partial discharge in the TP windings and understand the physical relationship that exists between the total partial discharge count number and the decrease in capacitance of the TP windings after a specified time-period of insulation life testing. From the present preliminary insulation lifetime testing results using the TP, it is found that for motors with the same ratings, an OWIPMSM could be designed with a lower insulation level winding than the SCIPMSM for an EV traction application.

    This paper presents a design study on improving the operating range and lowering the cogging torque for a variable flux surface-mounted permanent magnet motor (VFSPMSM) with a variable airgap structure employing a mechanical stator mover system for the eco-car race called Ene-1 Challenge. Eco-car race application requires designing a traction motor with a wider operating range and higher efficiency under given battery voltage and current regulations. To real
    ize these requirements, the VFSPMSM can change the back-emf constant based on the motor speed by adjusting only the axial alignment between stator and rotor appropriately based on the mechanical stator mover system, resulting in a wider operating speed range without field weakening control. Additionally, it is essential to achieve the lowest cogging torque possible to ensure driving comfort. The design procedure of a VFSPMSM for operating range expansion is examined based on the problems found in the previously designed motor. Finite element method-based design and simulation and experimental drive performance evaluation results of the designed VFSPMSM without field wakening show an extended operating range, improved motor efficiency and minimized cogging torque.

  • Design study on hybrid excitation flux switching motor for electric taxiing system in aircraft Reviewed International coauthorship International journal

    This paper presents an electric motor design for an electric taxiing system in aircraft. Electric motors for the electric taxiing system require high power density and high mechanical robustness of rotor. A hybrid excitation flux switching motor as a kind of variable flux motors is a good candidate because all active components such as permanent magnets and windings are located on the stator body essentially suitable for high speed rotation. An optimum design study on hybrid excitation flux switching motor is conducted based on finite element analysis using multi-objective genetic algorithm. For the design study, aluminum conductors for windings are introduced and a use of local non-magnetization technique for rotor electrical steel sheets are assumed to improve the power density and the rotor mechanical strength. Besides, the iron loss of rotor made of high-tensile electrical steel sheets is evaluated because an increase in iron loss is one of concerns with the high-tensile electrical steel sheets. The optimum design results based on finite element analysis show that both the power density with reduced rotor weight and the rotor mechanical stress using locally non-magnetized rotor high-tensile electrical steel sheets meet for the requirements.

    This paper proposes an experimental procedure using a new experimental system for on-line insulation turn-to-turn life testing of a stator winding without a rotor of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Without using any expensive large capacity dynamo set-up, the proposed system and procedure make it possible to test the insulation life of the stator winding under steady state operation of the motor even though at high temperatures of more than 200 °C. The line-to-line surge voltage applied to the motor under the inverter's PWM control at the running state of the motor is successfully replicated by the proposed static system. Suitable control blocks are given to describe the experimental procedure for an automotive traction application. In the new experimental set-up, a twisted pair (TP) winding is connected between the U-V phase of the stator phase windings. The turn-to-turn insulation life of the TP windings is approximately estimated by measuring the capacitance of the TP windings at regular time intervals during the on-line testing. Finally, an experiment is carried out to detect the partial discharge in the TP windings and understand the physical relationship that exists between the total partial discharge count number and the decrease in capacitance of the TP windings after a specified time-period of insulation life testing.

    This paper presents design study on a hybrid excitation machine as a generator for a micro-hydroelectric system. A hybrid excitation generator is a kind of variable flux machines and has two mmf sources such as a permanent magnet and the field excitation coil that enables to adjust a total amount of airgap field flux produced by two mmf sources. With the variable field flux capability, a hybrid excitation generator promises to expand high torque oper-ating range at low speed region while keeping operating power range at middle and high-speed region as required in the target application under given maximum voltage and current restrictions. Application-oriented design of hybrid excitation generator under given design constraints and specifications using finite element electromagnetic analysis is conducted. As a result, it is confirmed that the designed hybrid excitation generator meets the requirement for a target micro-hydroelectric system.

    This paper proposes an evaluation model for PWM carrier loss in claw-pole machines employed for ISG applications under dual three-phase drive. The PWM carrier loss is evaluated based on PWM carrier voltage waveform and high-frequency impedance. The proposed model is composed of the equivalent circuit model that uses machine parameters measured from an actual machine, and PWM carrier loss is evaluated using the PWM carrier voltage waveform obtained from the proposed model and the measured high-frequency impedance. The validity of the proposed model is examined by comparing the model-based evaluation results with the experimental results.

    【技術課題】従来型の磁石内側配置型HEFSM(1)では,増磁制御時に界磁巻線起磁力が永久磁石に対して逆磁界として働く。そのため,高保磁力磁石が必要となり,Dy 添加量の点で難を有する。これに対し,磁石外側配置型HEFSM(2)では,前述の関係が逆転し,低保磁力磁石の使用が可能となるが,最大トルク・効率の低下が問題となる。このことは文献(3)で既に報告したように,磁石外側配置型HEFSM では永久磁石磁束がトルク発生に寄与しにくいことが一因であり,改善策として界磁巻線スロットバックヨーク部の磁気抵抗増加を提案している。以上から,Dy 添加量低減と高効率化の両立のためには,永久磁石への逆磁界を生じず,同バックヨーク部の磁気抵抗を高くできる構造とすればよいことが示唆される。
     【解決手段】界磁巻線を磁石の上下に分配
    した磁石中央配置型HEFSM を提案する。界磁巻線非通電時には同図(a)のように磁石磁束は固定子内で短絡して低ギャップ磁束密度に,界磁巻線増磁制御時は同図(b)のように磁束経路が形成され,磁石磁束に界磁巻線磁束が重畳し,高ギャップ磁束密度化を図れる。本構造により,磁石に対する上下の界磁巻線起磁力が打ち消しあうのに加え,界磁スロットバックヨークの磁気抵抗増加が可能となる。

    In order to reduce noise and vibration in switched reluctance motors (SRM), many kinds of commutation methods have been proposed. One of them is well-known as 2-stage commutation method. However, it has a defect which is revealed particularly when SRM is operated at high speed and high load condition. In this study, through the magnetic-structural coupled analysis using FEM and the mathematical analysis of exciting force in 4-phase 8/6 SRM, the reason why vibration reduction based on the 2-stage commutation does not work is investigated. According to the investigations, a modified method to reduce vibration and noise independent from operating condition is proposed.
