Influence of Skewing Design for Reduction of Force Ripples in DSL-SynRM using 3D FEA

Double Sided Linear Synchronous Reluctance Motors(DSL-SynRM)are being increasingly used in high force density applications.The force ripples are one of the major issue in machine which is due to nonlinear nature of current in the machines.This paper focuses on the reduction of force ripples for increasing the force density of the motor.In order to reduce the force ripples,DSL-SynRM with a skewed translator is proposed.The proposed structure is designed and developed by using computational magnetic tools.This concept is effective for reduction of the force ripples and improves the force density of the machine.The proposed design has been reduced the percentage of force ripples by 21.62%,improved the force density by 10.32 N/mm³and efficiency by 0.89%.

Four-quadrant Force Control with Minimal Ripple for Linear Switched Reluctance Machines

Linear switch reluctance machine(LSRM)has been tried to act as an alternative generator for direct drive linear wave energy converter(WEC).Many researchers have proposed new topologies of LSRM to improve the power density,efficiency and reliability.However,the control methods for LSRM applied in direct drive WEC have been paid little attention,especially control methods considering the wave energy generator operating characteristics.In this paper,according to the generator control requirements of the direct drive WEC,force control algorithm for LSRM operating in four quadrants without a speed closed loop is put forward.The force ripple of LSRM is suppressed using force sharing function method.The four-quadrant control is easy to realize requiring only phase currents information.Simulation results validate the proposed method and indicate that LSRM is able to be used as the generator for direct drive WEC.

Composite Feedforward Compensation for Force Ripple in Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motors

This paper presents a method for compensating the force ripple in permanent magnet linear synchronous motors(PMLSMs)by adopting a composite feedforward compensation scheme.Firstly,the vector control system of PMLSMs is described,and various force disturbances influencing the electromagnetic thrust are analyzed.As a result,the mathematical model of the whole system considering the force ripple is established.Then,a novel composite feedforward compensation scheme is proposed,which consists of a recursive least squares(RLS)parameter identification component and two feedforward compensation loops corresponding to the reference position trajectory and the force ripple,respectively.Finally,the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed composite feedforward compensation are demonstrated by simulation.The main incentive of this paper is the combination with the composite feedforward compensation loop corresponding to the reference position trajectory to improve the compensation effect of force ripple in PMLSMs.

Synchronous control for high-accuracy biaxial motion systems

This paper presents an efficient synchronization control scheme for a high-accuracy synchronous mo- tion system. In particular, an optimal PID controller for individual motion axis is first developed to guarantee satisfactory tracking performance according to traditional controller tuning strategy. Then, an additional synchronous controller is introduced to generate cross-coupling control action, so that synchronous position error across axes due to system manu- facturing tolerance or disturbance could be suppressed. Experimental results on a positioning system equipped with two permanent-magnet linear motors demonstrate that the synchronization performance with the proposed control scheme could be enhanced.
