“…For this application, the uCube is being used in conjunction with the high switching frequency capable hybrid SiC-IGBT converter presented in [20] to validate the design model developed in [21]. In the preliminary validation process the SynRel machine has been operated up to 40krpm, corresponding to a fundamental frequency of about 1.33kHz, and driven by the before mentioned power electronics converter with a switching frequency of 60kHz.…”

Abstract-This paper presents a versatile tool for development, control and testing of power electronics converters. In the last decade, many different expensive off-the-shelf tools for rapid prototyping and testing have been developed and commercialised by few market players. Recently, the increasing diffusion of low cost, Do It Yourself targeted development tools gained market shares previously controlled by conventional players. This trend has been driven by the fact that, despite their lower performances, many of these low cost systems are powerful enough to develop simple power electronics systems for learning and teaching purposes. This paper describes a control platform developed within the University of Nottingham, targeting at the market and application segment in between the expensive offthe-shelf control boards and the low cost emerging systems. The platform is based on the Microzed evaluation board, equipped with the Xilinx Zynq System-on-Chip. Its flexibility, features and performances will be addressed and examples of how they are being experimentally validated on different rigs will be provided.

“…Currently, the machine design and optimization are often estimated individually using the electromagnetic field analysis method and stress analysis method, respectively. Few studies have dealt with the design of high-speed machines by considering the combination of electromagnetic and mechanical characteristics [16]. In this paper, to meet the requirements of electric vehicle (EV) applications, a new IPM synchronous machine with multiflux barriers is proposed and optimized.…”

In this paper, an interior permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machine with multiflux barriers is proposed to meet the wide speed regulation application requirements of electric vehicles. Based on the flux barrier characteristic, an electromagnetic–mechanical coupling optimization strategy is employed for the machine design. In order to facilitate the optimization design, the rotor barriers are divided into two optimization zones, the maximum stress zone and the maximum deformation zone. The electromagnetic–mechanical coupling optimization strategy is divided into two stages accordingly. In the first stage, the machine is regarded as a synchronous reluctance machine by ignoring permanent magnets, where the dimensions of the arc-shaped barriers are optimized to achieve a large reluctance torque and small stress. In the second stage, the dimensions of the arc-shaped PMs and the elliptical barrier are optimized with three objectives of minimum torque ripple, minimum flux linkage, and minimum deformation. After machine optimization, the comparison investigations are carried out on the basis of finite-element analysis by considering both the electromagnetic performances and mechanical performances.

“…Permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance generator (PMa-SynRG) in near future will be considered one of the most promising generators in the wind energy conversion system (WECS) due to its self-excitation, high efficiency and high reliability features [4]. Moreover, it needs lower maintenance due to its gearless construction [5].PMa-SynRGs can provide whole isolation from the disturbances of the grid owing to their fully rated converters as they are less susceptible to the faults of the grid as well can efficiently support the grid during different fault conditions [6].…”

In this paper, a high-speed microturbine (MT) permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance generator (PMa-SynRG) real-time emulation based on linear impedance regulator (LIR) using power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) for wind energy generation tests is presented. The LIR is designed without any feedback control loop for reshaping the s-domain performances of the current filter along with the converter inside the PMa-SynRG emulated system. The PHIL platform not only provides a method for eliminating the high cost of using real renewable energy hardware but also it enables the developers to create new, rapid, and reliable controllers for renewable energy testing. This platform can be used in investigating the performance of energy system under various conditions even if the generator prototype is not yet developed or unavailable. PMa-SynRG mathematical model is emulated in the real-time using PHIL platform while the output voltage of the proposed emulator imitates the generated voltage through the simulated model. In addition, a voltage source converter is employed as a voltage amplifier for imitating the PMa-SynRG performance when supplying nonlinear/linear loads. In this paper, the proportionalintegral resonant (PIR) controller is utilized at the voltage control loop for tracking the distorted output reference signal voltage. In order to investigate the performance of the proposed PMa-SynRG emulator, it has been simulated and compared with MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
