Show moreUtilization of renewable energy has become the future trend in the trucking industry. Electrical power generated from renewable energy can replace part of the fuel usage. There is usually limited space for storing on-board battery. Thus, to better utilize the battery power, it becomes critical to have an efficient energy conversion device that can transfer energy from battery to amenities such as air conditioner, microwave, TV, mini refrigerator, etc. In this dissertation, a designed permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) can be such energy conversion device for an electric Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) application, which will have a desired output power of 2 kW at 2krpm, and maintain an efficiency greater than 90%. The design calls for good performance over a speed range of 1.5 krpm to 2.5 krpm. The current air conditioning system for automobile works only by (")on(") or (")off(") mode. For the heat mode, that means it is on with heat once the cabin temperature drops down to a level and off if the temperature rises back above that level. For the cool mode, that means it is on with cold air once the cabin temperature rises above a level, and off if the temperature drops back to that level. This is because the motor does not have the speed control functionality according to the temperature variation and people in the cabin do not feel much comfortable for that temperature change periodically as well as the inefficient energy consumption. With our novel technology, the designed motor can adjust its speed through the embedded system of our novel DC to AC inverter to provide a variable load. For example, with high efficiency, the fully charged battery sets (48 volts) can supply the electrical power and cooling to the cabin forabout 10 hours without recharging using the main engine.Copper loss is the most significant part of all the losses in low speed electric machines. Reducing the copper loss is the key to build highly efficient machine. We use copper wires with the current density lower than traditional design which result in large cross section of the wire and thus reduce the copper loss and improve the efficiency. This also makes thermal management easier and reduces the need to use active cooling methodologies (such as fan, liquid cooling or spray cooling); and hence the overall power density of the whole system (including cooling devices) will not decease much. In traditional machine design, the torque angle is designed to be in the rangeof 15 to 30 degrees at the rated power and speed. In our high efficiency motor design, we propose to use much lower torque angle of 2 to 15 degrees at the rated power and speed. Such design caneffectively increase the overload power handling capability and efficiency. Besides, small torque angle will result in large airgap size and increased thickness of the permanent magnets. Large airgap helps to reduce the windage loss of the machine and generates a lot less mechanical noise based on our design experience. Increased thickness of the permanent magnets helps to avoid thedemagnetization.As the technology of advanced micro-controller develops, fast response power electronic devices can be used in the motor controller. A novel design of DC to AC inverter with the fieldoriented control scheme and sliding mode observer algorithm for driving the designed motor is developed. The inverter has the capability of driving the motor with its output power at 2 kW.

Show moreAn attempt has been made in this present work to design, fabricate and performance evaluate an integrated single stage centrifugal compressor and permanent magnet synchronous motor which is a key component of the reverse brayton cycle cryocooler. An off the shelf compressor – the driven and electric motor – the driver was not available commercially to suffice the requirements of the reverse brayton cryocooler. The integrated compressor-motor system was designed and tested with air as the working fluid at mass flow rate of 7.3 grams per sec, with a compression ratio of 1.58 and driven by a 2 KW permanent magnet synchronous motor at a design speed of 108,000 rpm. A permanent magnet synchronous motor rotor was designed to operate to operate over 200,000 rpm at 77 Kelvin temperature. It involved iterative processes involving structural, thermal and rotordynamic analysis of the rotor. Selection of high speed ceramic ball bearings, their mounting, fit and pre-load played prominent role. Attempts were made to resolve misalignment issues for the compressor – motor system, which had severe impact on the rotordynamic performance of the system and therefore losses at high speeds , . A custom designed flexible coupler was designed and fabricated to run the compressor – motor system. An integrated compressor – motor system was an innovative design to resolve considerably several factors which hinder a high operational speed. Elimination of the coupler, reduction of number of bearings in the system and usage of fewer components on the rotor to increase the stiffness were distinct features of the integrated system. Several custom designed test-rigs were built which involved precision translation stages and angle brackets. Motor control software, an emulator, a DSP and a custom designed motor controller was assembled to run the motor. A cooling system was specially designed to cool the stator – rotor system. A pre-loading structure was fabricated to adequately pre-load the bearings. Flow measurement instruments such as mass flow meter, pressure transducers and thermocouples were used at several locations on the test rig to monitor the flow. An adjustable inlet guide vane was designed to control the tip clearance of the impeller.

Show moreThis dissertation is concerned with the design of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) to operate at super-high speed with high efficiency. The designed and fabricated PMSM was successfully tested to run upto 210,000 rpm The designed PMSM has 2000 W shaft output power at 200,000 rpm and at the cryogenic temperature of 77 K. The test results showed the motor to have an efficiency reaching above 92%. This achieved efficiency indicated a significant improvement compared to commercial motors with similar ratings. This dissertation first discusses the basic concept of electrical machines. After that, the modeling of PMSM for dynamic simulation is provided. Particular design strategies have to be adopted for super-high speed applications since motor losses assume a key role in the motor drive performance limit. The considerations of the PMSM structure for cryogenic applications are also discussed. It is shown that slotless structure with multi-strand Litz-wire is favorable for super-high speeds and cryogenic applications. The design, simulation, and test of a single-sided axial flux pancake PMSM is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of structure are discussed, and further improvements are suggested and some have been verified by experiments. The methodologies of designing super high-speed motors are provided in details. Based on these methodologies, a super high-speed radial-flux PMSM was designed and fabricated. The designed PMSM meets our expectation and the tested results agree with the design specifications. 2-D and 3-D modeling of the complicated PMSM structure for the electromagnetic numerical simulations of motor performance and parameters such as phase inductors, core losses, rotor eddy current loss, torque, and induced electromotive force (back-EMF) are also presented in detail in this dissertation. Some mechanical issues such as thermal analysis, bearing pre-load, rotor stress analysis, and rotor dynamics analysis are also discussed. Different control schemes are presented and suitable control schemes for super high- speed PMSM are also discussed in detail.

Show moreThe dissertation is concerned with the design of high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous machinery and the control system. The dissertation first talks about the basic concept of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) design and the mathematics design model of the advanced design method. The advantage of the design method is that it can increase the high load capacity at no cost of increasing the total machine size. After that, the control method of the PMSM and Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is introduced. The design, simulation, and test of a permanent magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor for electric impact wrench and new mechanical structure are first presented based on the design method. Finite element analysis based on the Maxwell 2D is built to optimize the design and the control board is designed using Altium Designer. Both the motor and control board have been fabricated and tested to verify the design. The electrical and mechanical design are combined, and it provides an analytical IPMBLDC design method and an innovative and reasonable mechanical dynamical calculation method for the impact wrench system, which can be used in whole system design of other functional electric tools. A 2kw high-efficiency alternator system and its control board system are also designed, analyzed and fabricated applying to the truck auxiliary power unit (APU). The alternator system has two stages. The first stage is that the alternator three-phase outputs are connected to the three-phase active rectifier to get 48V DC. An advanced Sliding Mode Observer (SMO) is used to get an alternator position. The buck is used for the second stage to get 14V DC output. The whole system efficiency is much higher than the traditional system using induction motor.

Show moreModern aircraft, military and commercial, rely extensively on hydraulic systems. However, there is great interest in the avionics community to replace hydraulic systems with electric systems. There are physical challenges to replacing hydraulic actuators with electromechanical actuators (EMAs), especially for flight control surface actuation. These include dynamic heat generation and power management.Simulation is seen as a powerful tool in making the transition to all-electric aircraft by predicting the dynamic heat generated and the power flow in the EMA. Chapter 2 of this dissertation describes the nonlinear, lumped-element, integrated modeling of a permanent magnet (PM) motor used in an EMA. This model is capable of representing transient dynamics of an EMA, mechanically, electrically, and thermally.Inductance is a primary parameter that links the electrical and mechanical domains and, therefore, is of critical importance to the modeling of the whole EMA. In the dynamic mode of operation of an EMA, the inductances are quite nonlinear. Chapter 3 details the careful analysis of the inductances from finite element software and the mathematical modeling of these inductances for use in the overall EMA model.Chapter 4 covers the design and verification of a nonlinear, transient simulation model of a two-step synchronous generator with three-phase rectifiers. Simulation results are shown.
