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.
This paper describes a new method for condition monitoring of a roller chain. In contrast to conventional methods, no additional accelerometers are used to measure and interpret frequency spectra but the chain condition is evaluated using an easy to interpret similarity measure based on correlation functions using the driving motor torque. An additional clustering of current data and reference measurements yields an easy to understand representation of the chain condition.
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.
Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigte die Anwendung eines Extended Kalman Filters für die Beurteilung des Verschleißzustandes von Rollenketten. Anders als in den üblicherweise eingesetzten signalbasierten Verfahren wurde damit ein modellbasierter Ansatz gewählt. Der Einsatz des Extended Kalman Filters ermöglicht die Schätzung von Parametern eines reduzierten Kettenmodells, das die Dynamik der einzigen Messgröße, nämlich des Drehmoments des antreibenden Motors näherungsweise nachbildet. Im Beitrag wurde dieses Verfahren auf Messdaten aus vier Dauerversuchen an Rollenketten eingesetzt und gezeigt, dass mit steigendem Verschleiß eine Änderung ausgewählter Modellparameter erfolgt.
Diese Vorgehensweise ist ein erster Ansatz, der durch weitere Forschungsarbeiten noch verbessert werden muss. In zukünftigen Forschungsarbeiten wird zusätzlich zur Parameterschätzung eine Prädiktion durchgeführt, um einen Schätzwert für die Restlebensdauer zu erhalten. Hierzu gibt es Ansätze in der Literatur, die auf das konkrete Problem angepasst werden müssen. Zudem muss die Modellierungssystematik so erweitert werden, dass Wissen über das Prozessverhalten in die Modellierung mit eingebracht wird, um die Aussagekraft der Ergebnisse sowie die Robustheit des Verfahrens bezüglich Betriebsparametern, Umgebungsbedingungen und Exemplarstreuungen zu verbessern.
This paper illustrates the implementation of series connected hardware modules as part of a scalable and modular power electronics device, which is ideally suited in the field of electric vehicles using wide bandgap semiconductor devices. The main benefit of the modular concept is that different current or voltage requirements can be satisfied based on the appropriate series or parallel connection of single modules. The particular design is based on the fact that the single modules generate a continuous and specified output voltage from a given dc voltage. The current work focuses on a brief classification of this work in different series connected concepts of power converters and in particular on an active damping approach for the series connected LC output filters based on inductor current feedback.
This contribution presents a three-phase power stage for motor control with continuous output voltages using wide bandgap semiconductors and an asynchronous delta-sigma based switching signal generation. The focus of the paper is on an active damping approach for the LC output filter based on inductor current feedback.
Steady state efficiency optimization techniques for induction motors are state of the art and various methods have already been developed. This paper provides new insights in the efficiency optimized operation in dynamic regime. The paper proposes an anticipative flux modification in order to decrease losses during torque and speed transients. These trajectories are analyzed based on a numerical study for different motors. Measurement results for one motor are given as well.
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.
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.
