Switched reluctance motors are particularly attractive due to their simple structure. The control of this machine type requires the instants, to switch the currents in the motor phases in an appropriate sequence. These switching instants are determined either based on a position sensor, or on signals generated by a sensorless method. A very simple sensorless method uses the switching frequency of the hysteresis controllers used for phase current control. This paper first presents an automatic commissioning method for this sensorless method and second a startup procedure, thus enhancing this approach towards an application in industry.
This article illustrates a method for sensorless control of a switched reluctance motor. The detection of the time instants for switching between the working phases is determined based on the evaluation of the switching frequency of the hysteresis current controllers for appropriately selected sensing phases. This enables a simple and cost efficient implementation. The method is compared with a pulse injection method in terms of efficiency and resolution.
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.
Class Phi2 amplifier using GaN HEMTs at 13.56MHz with tuned transformer for wireless power transfer
(2022)
This paper discusses a design procedure of a wireless power transfer system at a RF switching frequency of 13.56MHz. The wireless power transfer amplifier uses GaN HEMTs in aClass phi2 topology and is designed in order to achieve high efficiency and high power density. A design method for the load over a certain bandwidth is presented for a transformer with its tuning network.
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.
