Cogging torque comparison of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators with different stator windings
2017
This paper presents the comparison between the cogging torques produced by four IPMSGs (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators) with different stator winding configurations. More in detail, an IPMSG model, which is derived from a commercial geometry, is analyzed through means of a FEM (Finite Element Method) approach. Then, three more structures are determined and analyzed by adequately changing the number of stator slots of the basic IPMSG stator structure and by maintaining the same rotor configuration. From the obtained simulation results, the cogging torque components for each structure are determined and compared. From this comparison, it can be stated that the use of dissymm…
Algorithmic method of design and analysis of fractional-slot windings of AC machines
1998
The paper presents a new algorithmic method of designing fractional-slot windings for AC machines of the double and single layer type. The method allows to design windings with a small number of slots per pole and phase, and then to analyse their MMF harmonic spectra in a simple systematic way and to optimise the construction. The presented method comprises not only 3-phase, but alsom-phase windings, which in the case of compact converter-motor units are quite applicable.
Evaluation of radiated EMI in 42 V vehicle electrical systems by FDTD simulation
2007
In this paper a full 3D numerical scheme, based on the finite difference time domain method, is used to predict the electromagnetic radiated interference generated by 42 V vehicle power electronic driven electrical loads. An experimental set-up has been arranged on purpose in order to validate the proposed simulation tool. To this aim, the features of a semi-anechoic electromagnetic chamber have been exploited in order to operate in a shielded test site for the measurement of near field radiated emissions. Two different three-dimensional geometrical configurations of realistic vehicle installations of the loads, are studied. A comparative analysis among measured and computed results is perf…
A local linear black-box identification technique for power converters modeling
2009
In this paper, a black-box modeling technique for power electronic converters, also used in automotive environment is presented. The aim of this work is to provide a simple yet versatile and powerful tool to schematize complex electric devices in vehicular appliances, in order to fulfill the electromagnetic compatibility already during the project stage. By using input and output measured data, a composite local linear state space model is built up. Radial basis functions are used as weights for the local systems. The proposed approach is validated and applied in modeling a DC/DC converter for DC motors, a pulse width modulation inverter and a controlled rectifier.
Electromagnetic immunity analysis of a new interface device with power line communication for smart grid and energy storage applications
2013
An analysis of EMC standards related to smart grid devices with PLC port has been carried out and the standardization lacks have been pointed out with reference to the evaluation of electromagnetic immunity to narrowband, coming from other communication systems connected to the grid, and RF disturbances conducted disturbances, usually present in a power grid. In particular, the paper analyses the electromagnetic conducted immunity of a new interface protection device (ID) for smart grid and energy storage applications. The new ID is equipped with a measuring board, a STM32 microcontroller, for data elaboration and memorization, and a ST7580 N-PSK powerline transceiver. An experimental test …
Electric and magnetic emission in near field region and thermal behaviour of power module for photovoltaic application
2015
The new power module, characterized by high power density, miniaturization of packages and layout and high frequency switching, are increasingly used in the field of in automotive, aircraft industry and for Distributed Generation (DG) connected to smart grid. To guarantee the reliability and safety of these systems, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and thermal behavior, have to be carefully considered for these appliances. This paper describes a measurement methodology to characterize the electromagnetic emissions in near field zone produced by a PM prototype and its thermal behavior. In particular, the electric and magnetic fields, in the near field region in the frequency range 9kH…
Finite-element performance comparison of IPMSMs with unsymmetrical double-layer windings
2017
This paper presents a comparison of the performances between IPMSMs (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine) with a symmetrical and with two different types of unsymmetrical windings. The aim is to demonstrate that the adoption of slightly unsymmetrical windings does not significantly affect the performances of the machines, both in terms of cogging torque and torque/load angle characteristics, providing also the advantage of a higher possibility of choice in terms of slot number/poles ratio. More in particular, an IPMSM model (named IPMSM-1) derived from a commercial geometry equipped with a symmetrical winding is analyzed by using a Finite Element Method (FEM) approach. The simulat…
A shoreline boundary condition for a highly nonlinear Boussinesq model for breaking waves
2012
Abstract A physically based strategy was used to model swash zone hydrodynamics forced by breaking waves within a Boussinesq type of model. The position and the velocity of the shoreline were determined continuously in space by solving the physically-based equations of the shoreline motion; moreover, a fixed grid method, with a wet–dry interface, was adopted for integrating the Boussinesq model. The numerical stability of the model was improved by means of an extrapolation method. To validate the proposed methodology, the classical analytical solution for the shoreline motion of a monochromatic wave train over a plane beach was considered. The comparison between the analytical and numerical…
Assessing the Robustness of Thermoeconomic Diagnosis of Fouled Evaporators: Sensitivity Analysis of the Exergetic Performance of Direct Expansion Coi…
2016
Thermoeconomic diagnosis of refrigeration systems is a pioneering approach to the diagnosis of malfunctions, which has been recently proven to achieve good performances for the detection of specific faults. Being an exergy-based diagnostic technique, its performance is influenced by the trends of exergy functions in the “design” and “abnormal” conditions. In this paper the sensitivity of performance of thermoeconomic diagnosis in detecting a fouled direct expansion coil and quantifying the additional consumption it induces is investigated; this fault is critical due to the simultaneous air cooling and dehumidification occurring in the coil, that induce variations in both the chemical and th…
Effect of RF Field Inhomogeneity and Sample Restriction on Spectral Resolution of CP/MAS-13C NMR Spectra of Natural Organic Matter
2010
It is well known that the induced B1 magnetic field in an NMR coil is inhomogeneously distributed. However, this issue has so far received little attention in the field of environmental NMR. As this research field often aims at quanti- tative results as well as relaxation phenomena, the repercussions of such inhomogeneity on peak integrals and relaxation times need to be taken into account. The objective of the present study was to test standard recording conditions on different sample positions in an NMR coil in order to determine the effect of the RF field inhomogeneity on the spectrum of a molecularly complex humic material and on some standard molecules of known structure and conformati…
