Hybrid Excited Permanent Magnet Machines for Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles

This paper reviews various hybrid excited(HE)machines from the perspective of location of PM and DC excitation,series/parallel connection of PM and DC excited magnetic fields,and 2D/3D magnetic fields,respectively.The advantages as well as drawbacks of each category are analyzed.Since an additional control degree,i.e.DC excitation,is introduced in the HE machine,the flux weakening control strategies are more complex.The flux weakening performance as well as efficiency are compared with different control strategies.Then,the potential to mitigate the risk of uncontrolled overvoltage fault at high speed operation is highlighted by controlling the field excitation.Since additional DC coils are usually required for HE machines compared with pure PM excitation,the spatial confliction inevitably results in electromagnetic performance reduction.Finally,the technique to integrate the field and armature windings with open-winding drive circuit is introduced,and novel HE machines without a DC coil are summarized.

Then, with the H_PWM-L_ON control strategy, the working modes are detailed with eorresponding equivalent circuits. Experimental results verify the robustness of the analysis.

HYBRID EXCITATION CLAW-POLE SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR WITH MAGNETIC CIRCUIT SERIES CONNECTION

To solve the low efficiency of electric excitation claw-pole synchronous generator（EECPSG） and regulate the magnetic field of permanent magnet （PM） claw-pole synchronous generator（PMCPSG）, a novel hybrid excitation claw-pole synchronous generator （HECPSG）with magnetic circuit series connection is proposed. Through the simulation study on the generator using the calculation method for magnetic circuit and 3-D finite element method （FEA）, the appropriate magnet thickness and the number of pole-pairs for the proposed generator are determined. Its off-loading characteristics, load characteristics, and regulation behaviors are investigated. The study shows that the appropriate number of pole-pairs in HECPSG with series magnetic circuits is two, and there exists an optimum magnet thickness. Compared to EECPSG, HECPSG realizes dual-directional control to the excitation current. Moreover, the generator can adjust the output voltage and keep the output voltage stable in a broad load range. Under the condition of same parametes, the motor has higer air-gap flux density and power density.

Efficient and Fast X-Ray Luminescence in Organic Phosphors Through High-Level Triplet-Singlet Reverse Intersystem Crossing

Organic scintillators that efficiently generate bright triplet excitons are of critical importance for highperformance X-ray-excited luminescence in radiation detection.However,the nature of triplet-singlet spinforbidden transitions in these materials often result in long-lived phosphorescence,which is undesirable for ultrafast X-ray detection and imaging.Here we demonstrate that the effect of hybridized local and charge-transfer(HLCT)excited states enables organic scintillators to exhibit highly efficient and fast radioluminescence(RL)in response to X-ray irradiation.Our experimental and theoretical investigation shows that the oxidized 1,8-naphthalimide-phenothiazine dyad(OMNI-PTZ 2)with HLCT-excited states has an enhanced overlap integral of the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital(LUMO)on MNIπ-orbitals,and moderate donor–acceptor electron interactions.As a result,the RL of these crystals exhibits a 61-fold increase and its monoexponential decay lifetime is three orders of magnitude faster compared to its corresponding thermally activated delayed fluorescence(TADF)molecule MNI-PTZ 1.We further demonstrate the practical utility of the OMNI-PTZ 2(G)in high-performance X-ray detection and imaging,achieving an X-ray dose sensitivity of 97 nGy s−1 and an exceptional spatial resolution of 20 lp/mm.Our study provides a promising molecular design principle for utilizing triplet excitons to develop high-efficiency and fast X-ray scintillators for the development of next-generation flexible and stretchable X-ray imaging detectors.

An Analytical Method of Calculating Back-EMF in Dual Consequent Hybrid Excitation Synchronous Machine

In order to solve the problem of asymmetric bidirectional flux control capability in hybrid excitation machine,a novel structure called dual consequent hybrid excitation synchronous(DCHES)machine is presented in this paper.Generally,the analysis of back-EMF for the machine with complex electromagnetic structure such as DCHES machine should utilize 3-D finite element analysis(FEA),which will require huge resources and computing time.In order to avoid using 3-D FEA to analyze the back-EMF of complex structure,an analytical method of calculating back-EMF is presented in this paper.The electromagnetic field in 3-D space can be simplified as a 2-D field by dividing the 3-D field into several simple zones,the resultant effect equals to the summation of every single 2-D field's effect.According to electromagnetic theory,the analytical formula of back-EMF is obtained on the basis of Fourier series.The influence of main parameters on back-EMF waveform under sine and trapezoidal flux distribution is discussed respectively.The theoretical result shows that the trapezoidal air-gap flux distribution would generate a sine back-EMF.Finally,the presented analytical method is verified and evaluated with experimental results.
