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.

Design and Analysis of New Modular Stator Hybrid Excitation Synchronous Motor

Hybrid excitation motor is a combination of permanent magnet motor and electric excitation motor,which can flexibly adjust the air gap magnetic field.At present,the traditional silicon steel sheet core material is widely used,but this material limits the further reduction of stator iron loss.In this paper,a new type of hybrid excitation synchronous motor with modular stator structure based on amorphous alloy material is proposed.The design power is 1kW,and the speed is 3000rpm.By placing the armature winding and electric excitation winding in the stator slot,the slip ring and brush are avoided,and the reliability of the motor is improved.The rotor adopts staggered magnetic pole structure,which has strong flux adjusting ability.The core loss is greatly reduced by using amorphous alloy.Firstly,the structure and working principle of the new motor are given;Secondly,the size parameters of the motor are given,and the principle of flux adjustment is verified and analyzed by three-dimensional finite element(3D-FEM);Finally,through theoretical analysis of the influence factors of the magnetic adjustment ability and 3D-FEM finite element computation,the flux adjustment ability and the torque lifting at low speed are verified,and the advantages of the motor are verified.

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.

Overview and Development of Variable Frequency AC Generators for More Electric Aircraft Generation System

With the development of more electric aircraft(MEA),higher demands for electrical energy are put forward in generation systems.Compared to constant frequency AC(CFAC)generation systems,the constant speed drive(CSD)is eliminated and integrated starter/generator(SG)can be realized in variable frequency AC(VFAC)generation systems.In this paper,an overview of VFAC generators for safety-critical aircraft applications is presented,with a particular focus on the key features and requirements of candidate generators and the starting control strategies.Wound rotor synchronous machines(WRSMs)are typical generators used in VFAC generation systems so far.Meanwhile,hybrid excitation synchronous machines(HESMs)and cage-type induction machines are promising candidates for VFAC generation systems.The generation operation of WRSM is relatively mature,however,the SG technology of WRSM is still full of challenges.As one of the most important issues,the starting excitation methods of WRSM are summarized.An HESM-based VFAC SG system is proposed and developed in this paper.The experimental results show that the starting mode,transition mode and generating mode of the VFAC SG system are realized.The continuous progress of VFAC generation system makes great contributions to the realization of MEA.
