Electromechanical dynamics analysis of pole-piece rotors in pseudo direct-drive wind turbine generators

This paper analyses the electromechanical dynamics of the pole-piece rotors in a pseudo direct-drive wind turbine generator. The investigated generator has a rated power of 10 MW and was designed in the INNWIND.EU project. One way coupled finite element analysis (FEA) was used to calculate the rotor dynamic defections caused by...

Sliding mode control with neural network for active magnetic bearing system

A novel controller design procedure is proposed for a 5-degree-of-freedom (DOF) active magnetic bearing (AMB) system, based on sliding mode control (SMC) and neural network (NN). The SMC is used to achieve high robustness and fast response while the NN can compensate unmodeled uncertainty and external disturbance by on-line tuning algorithm. The...

Online parameter estimation of PMSM in EV powertrain Including thermal measurements

This paper proposes an online motor-parameter-estimator for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in an electric vehicle (EV) powertrain. The proposed method uses a recursive least squares filter approach in combination with the discrete time dynamic voltage equations. Stator resistance estimation is decoupled from the estimator using...
