In this work, a comparison between different brushless harmonic-excited wound-rotor synchronous machines is performed. The general idea of all topologies is the elimination of the slip rings and auxiliary windings by using the already existing stator and rotor winding for field excitation. This is achieved by injecting a harmonic airgap field with the help of power electronics. This harmonic field does not interact with the fundamental field, it just transfers the excitation power across the airgap. Alternative methods with varying number of phases, different pole-pair combinations, and winding layouts are covered and compared with a detailed Finite-Element-parameterized model. Parasitic effects due to saturation and coupling between the harmonic and main windings are considered.

(2023)
Wasserstoff wird einen bedeutenden Beitrag zum Wandel von Industrie und Gesellschaft in eine klimaneutrale Zukunft leisten. Der Aufbau und die ökologisch und ökonomisch sinnvolle Nutzung einer Wasserstoffinfrastruktur sind hierbei die zentralen Herausforderungen. Ein notwendiger Baustein ist die effiziente Bereitstellung von grünem Strom und dem daraus produzierten grünen Wasserstoff. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt ein dezentrales Regel- und Kommunikationssystem vor, mit dem Angebot und Nachfrage von grünem Strom und Wasserstoff in einem System aus dezentralen Akteuren in Einklang gebracht werden. In einer hierzu entwickelten Simulationsumgebung wird die Funktion und der Nutzen dieses dezentralen Ansatzes verdeutlicht.
The current paper discusses the optimal choice of a filter time constant for filtering the steady state flux reference in an energy efficient control strategy for changing load torques. It is shown that by appropriately choosing the filter time constant as a fraction of the rotor time constant the instantaneous power losses after a load torque step can be significantly reduced compared to the standard case. The analysis for the appropriate choice of the filter time constant is based on a numerical study for three different induction motors with different rated powers.
Energy efficient electric control of drives is more and more important for electric mobility and manufacturing industries. Online dynamic optimization of induction machines is challenging due to the computational complexity involved and the variable power losses during dynamic operation of induction machines. This paper proposes a simple technique for sub-optimal online loss optimization using rotor flux linkage templates for energy efficient dynamic operation of induction machines. Such a rotor flux linkage template is given by a rotor flux linkage trajectory which is optimal for a specific scenario. This template is calculated in an offline optimization process. For a specific scenario during real time operation the rotor flux linkage is calculated by appropriately scaling the given template.
This paper discusses the optimal control problem for increasing the energy efficiency of induction machines in dynamic operation including field weakening regime. In an offline procedure optimal current and flux trajectories are determined such that the copper losses are minimized during transient operations. These trajectories are useful for a subsequent online implementation.
One of the challenges in condition monitoring systems is the residual life time prediction. This prediction is done based on statistical methods, based on physical knowledge about the considered process or a combination of these approaches. Physical knowledge of the system is a result of long-term experience of process operators. However, it can be gained as well by analyzing appropriately designed process models. The additional benefit of such models is that particular effects and their impact on the process behavior can be analyzed in detail and without plant operation in a shorter time. The current contribution developed in the framework of the research project Model Based Hierarchic Condition Monitoring presents such models for condition monitoring of roller chains. First, already existing high order dynamic models given by nonlinear differential equations of such chains are extended to incorporate effects that occur due to a deterioration of the chain condition. Then, a simple model is developed and compared to the high order model. Based on the two models the change in the process behavior due to a deterioration of the roller chain condition is analyzed to illustrate that these models can be used in future research in the above mentioned research project to better predict the residual life time of the considered roller chains.
In diesem Beitrag wurde gezeigt, wie ein bereits bekanntes Verfahren zur modellprädiktiven Regelung zur Optimierung der Energieeffizienz einer Asynchronmaschine im dynamischen Betrieb eingesetzt werden kann. Dazu wurden zunächst die Beziehungen für die Verlustleistung bei alleiniger Berücksichtigung der Kupferverluste im dynamischen Betrieb hergeleitet. Ausgehend davon wurde das Optimierungsproblem formuliert, der Einfluss von Parametern des modellprädiktiven Verfahrens auf das Optimierungsergebnis untersucht und damit Vorschlagswerte für diese Parameter ermittelt. Der Vergleich mit zwei weiteren Verfahren ohne Optimierung bzw. mit Optimierung allein für stationäre Arbeitspunkte zeigt die Vorteile des modellprädiktiven Verfahrens.
In this paper a double hogger used in woodworking machines is considered. The machining tools are driven by induction machines operated by standard inverters. During production the load of these motors changes periodically between low load and high load at a given speed. This paper investigates the reduction of power losses in such an application using an appropriate energy efficient control strategy for the induction machines.
The current paper proposes a design method for an active damping approach for LC output filters in a power stage for motor control with continuous output voltage. The power stage uses GaN-HEMTs and operates at switching frequencies in a range between 500 kHz and 1MHz. The active damping of the output filter is achieved here by a feedback of the filter inductor current using a high-pass structure. The paper discusses the impact of this feedback on the system behavior and proposes a design method.
In this work, a brushless, harmonic-excited wound-rotor synchronous machine is investigated which utilizes special stator and rotor windings. The windings magnetically decouple the fundamental torque-producing field from the harmonic field required for the inductive power transfer to the field coil. In contrast to conventional harmonic-excited synchronous machines, the whole winding is utilized for both torque production and harmonic excitation such that no additional copper for auxiliary windings is needed. Different rotor topologies using rotating power electronic components are investigated and their efficiencies have been compared based on Finite-Element calculation and circuit analysis.
In this work, a brushless, harmonic-excited wound-rotor synchronous machine without any auxiliary windings which can provide full torque at startup is investigated experimentally. The excitation power is transferred inductively by superimposing an additional harmonic field of different pole-pair number on top of the airgap field. This is achieved by feeding the parallel paths of the stator and rotor winding separately. A prototype for the harmonic-excited synchronous machine has been constructed and experimental results are presented to verify the concept. The main loss contributors are identified and the importance of considering core losses under harmonic excitation is discussed. A general analytical model for harmonic excited synchronous machines is proposed which enables a quick estimation of the iron core flux densities and the core losses generated by the additional harmonic currents.
In this paper we describe the design and development process of an electromagnetic picker for rivets. These rivets are used in a production process of leather or textile design objects like riveted waist belts or purses. The picker is designed such that it replaces conventional mechanical pickers thus avoiding mechanical wear problems and increasing the process quality. The paper illustrates the challenges in the design process of this mechatronic system. The design process was based on both simulation and experiments leading to a prototype that satisfies the requirements.
In this work design rules for a novel brushless excitation system for externally excited synchronous machines are discussed. The concept replaces slip rings with a fullbridge active rectifier and a controller mounted on the rotor. An AC signal induced from the stator is used to charge the rotor DC link. The DC current for the rotor excitation is provided from this DC link source. Finite element analysis of an existing machine is used to analyze the practicability of the excitation system.
The efficient production and utilization of green hydrogen is vital to succeed in the global strive for a sustainable future. To provide the necessary amount of green hydrogen a high number of electrolyzers will be connected as decentralized power consumers to the grid. A large amount of decentralized renewable power sources will provide the energy. In such a system a control method is necessary to dispatch the available power most efficiently. In particular, the shutdown of renewable energy sources due to temporary overproduction must be avoided. This paper presents a decentralized tertiary control algorithm that provides a new decentralized control approach, thus creating a flexible, robust and easily scalable system. The operation of each grid participant within this grid connected microgrid is optimized for maximum financial profit, while minimizing the exchange of power with the mains grid and reducing the shutdown of renewable power sources.
Condition Monitoring for mechanical systems like bearings or transmissions is often done by analysing frequency spectra obtained from accelerometers mounted to the components under observation. Although this approach gives a high amount on information about the system behaviour, the interpretation of the resulting spectra requires expert knowledge, that is, a deep understanding of the effect on condition deterioration on the measured spectra. However, an increasing number of condition monitoring applications demands other representations of the measured signals that can be easily interpreted even by non–experts. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop an approach for processing measured process data in order to obtain an easy to interpret measure for assessing the component condition. The main idea is to evaluate the deterioration of a component condition by computing the correlation function of current measurements with past measurements in order to detect a component condition deterioration from a change in these correlation functions. Besides the simplicity of the obtained measure, this approach opens the opportunity for integrating a model based approach as well. The developed method is tested based on a condition monitoring application in a roller chain.
Ein wesentliches Ziel der unter dem Schlagwort Industrie 4.0 gebündelten neuen Entwicklungen ist die Vernetzung intelligenter Komponenten in industriellen Anlagen, um Prozesse transparenter und effizienter zu gestalten. Ein weiteres Ziel ist das Condition Monitoring, d.h. die Überwachung des Zustands der Komponenten während der Laufzeit und die Abschätzung der Restlebensdauer, damit die gesamte Lebensdauer der Komponente ausgenutzt und Wartungsintervalle besser geplant werden können. Die Bewertung des Komponentenzustands erfolgt anhand von Messgrößen, die entweder durch zusätzlich in den Prozess eingebrachte Sensoren erfasst werden oder durch Prozessdaten, die in den Regel- und Steuereinrichtungen verfügbar sind. Diese Messdaten werden ausgewertet und das Ergebnis wird dem Anwender angezeigt.
Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen kurzen Überblick über verwendete Messgrößen sowie verwendete Auswerteverfahren. Darüber hinaus wird ein Verfahren erläutert, das die Schwierigkeiten bei der Beurteilung der üblicherweise verwendeten Frequenzspektren vermeidet.
