This paper proposes the design and implementation of a novel direct torque controlled induction machine drive system. The control system enjoys the advantages of stator vector control and conventional direct torque control and avoids some of the implementation difficulties of either of the two control methods. The stator vector control principal is used to keep constant the amplitude of stator flux vector at rated value, and to develop the relationship between the machine torque and the rotating speed of the stator flux vector. Thus, the machine torque can be regulated to generate the stator angular speed, which becomes a command signal and permits to overcome the problem of its estimation. Furthermore, with the combined control methods, the reference stator voltage vector can be generated and proportional-integral controllers and space vector modulation technique can be used to obtain fixed switching frequency and low torque ripple. Simulation experiments results indicate that, with the proposed scheme, a precise control of the stator flux and machine torque can be achieved. Compared to conventional direct torque control, presented method is easily implemented, and the steady performances of ripples of both torque and flux are considerably improved

In this paper, the method of behaviour model control is applied to an induction motor with its mechanical load in order to increase the robustness of the vector control and to keep its performances despite the presence of perturbations (parameters variations, abrupt load variations, etc). The idea of the proposed control is interesting and useful. It induces adding supplementary control inputs, which yield the process to follow the model. The distinguished feature of this control design is that it achieves the same performances as the Field Oriented Control without the need for heavy and expensive gain tuning. The proposed strategy minimizes the energy used for the control and ensures the stabilization and excellent tracking performance of the system. Simplicity of the method, minimization of the required energy and the elimination of the need for gain tuning are the main positive features of the proposed approach

Original scientific paperThe paper proposes a double excited synchronous machine as integrated starter-alternator for future automobiles applications. Particularly, the biaxial excitation synchronous machine (BESM) is proposed for its high efficiency and wide constant power speed range. As the integrated starter-alternator system combines both starter and generator functions in a single electric machine, an alternative vector control strategy for BESM is developed and detailed to allow operation in the two modes at unity power factor operation by setting d-axis current to be zero and q-axis current to be constant and equal to its value that cancel the q-axis flux. In such conditions, the BESM torque can be controlled by the dc-excitation current and the required dc-bus voltage can be regulated within the 42V PowerNet specifications. To overcome the slowness dc-excitation current response, which is due to higher dc-field excitation time constant, and to increase the torque response quickness, the control of the magnetising current is proposed instead of the d-axis current. Implementation and simulation results validate the proposed scheme and provide a practical solution for an integrated starter-alternator.Key words: Biaxial excitation synchronous machine, Vector control, Integrated starter-alternator, 42V PowerNet Vektorsko upravljanje dvostruko pobu enim sinkronim strojem kao integriranim starteromalternatorom. U radu je predložena upotreba dvostruko pobu enog sinkronog stroja kao integriranog starteraalternatora, za buduće primjene u automobilskoj industriji. Preciznije, predložena je upotreba biaksijalno pobu enog sinkronog stroja (BESM) zbog visoke korisnosti i širokog raspona područja konstantne snage. Kao integrirani starter-alternator, sustav kombinira funkcije i startera i generatora u jednom električnom stroju. Razvijen je i detaljno opisan alternativni pristup vektorskom upravljanju BESM-om za omogućavanje rada u dva moda uz jedinični faktor snage postavljanjem d-osi struje u nulu i q-osi struje na konstantnu vrijednost koja poništava tok u q-osi. U ovakvim uvjetima, BESM momentom moguće je upravljati istosmjernom uzbudnom strujom i traženi napon dc-sabirnice moguće je regulirati unutar 42V PowerNet specifikacija. Za prevladavanje sporog odziva na istosmjernu uzbudnu struju koji nastaje zbog veće vremenske konstante magnetskog polja uzbude, a s ciljem ubrzanja odziva momenta, predloženo je upravljanje strujom magnetizacije umjesto strujom u d-osi. Implementacijski i simulacijski rezultati potvr uju predloženi pristup i pružaju praktično rješenje za integrirani starter-alternator.Ključne riječi: Biaksijalno pobu eni sinkroni stroj, vektorsko upravljanje, integrirani starter-alternator, 42V PowerNet
