A novel rotor structure with a set of compensation winding for line-start permanent magnet synchronous motors for high capacity and low speed, which can meet the requirements of a ball mill with a high moment of inertia, is proposed to improve the motor-starting performance. A control strategy for the compensation winding current is implemented to increase the synchronisation ability with a high-inertia load. The compensation current and its control method are analysed using a mathematical model and verified using a time-step finite-element analysis. The simulation shows that the permanent magnet motor proposed in this study can successfully start at a load of 15 times rotor inertia.
The brushless doubly-fed machine (BDFM) is a special type of machine with two sets of stator windings and one set of rotor winding. The magnetic field of the BDFM is considered to be complex with no regularity. To study the principles of magnetic fields for the BDFM, a general expression of the fundamental wave is deduced, which shows that the fundamental wave can be regarded as a standing wave when it is observed from rotor reference; also, some discussions about the characteristics of the fundamental wave are presented in the paper. Next, a model of wound-rotor BDFM prototype is established, and the enveloping line and the relations between rotor position and its electrical angle of the magnetic field are figured out in the paper. Finally, after detecting the induced electromotive force (EMF) of measurement coils embedded in the corresponding prototype machine, the validity of the proposed conclusions is verified.
