Abstract 

The paper deals with techniques which use the predictive concepts in order to obtain both the pulse width modulation strategy of a voltage fed inverter and the predictive control of the induction motor drive. Concerning the PWM technique, it is applied for the case when the inverter supplies an induction motor, the reference values of the currents being obtained from a classical vector control scheme. The described technique is then simulated and the waveforms are compared with ones obtained with preset currents (bang-bang) pulse width modulation, as the behavior of the two strategies is similar. The results are also compared with the ones resulted when a classical DTC controls the induction motor, as the both determine, during each sampling period, the next stator voltage phasor, but considering different criteria. Concerning the control of the drive, the vector control and the predictive control of the induction motor are compared. For the vector control, the rotor flux oriented one is pointed out, with highlight on the voltage source inverter type. A simple (and practical) method for avoiding the influences of the stator resistance variations when a voltage source inverter is used is presented, based on proper simulation models. For the predictive control of the induction motor, a sensorless diagram is considered. Finally, further actions are proposed for the work continuation.

Abstract

The control circuit of an Electronically Controlled Capacitor (ECC) for the optimization of the Single Phase Induction Motor (SPIM) with auxiliary winding is presented. The control circuit is based on a fixed value AC capacitor within a full bidirectional switches bridge PWM controlled at much higher than line frequency (in kHz range). The power bridge circuit and its embedded pulse driver circuit are presented within the theoretical sections of the paper. In the experimental section, using a small electric motors test bench and a two speed SPIM with auxiliary winding, are analyzed the main influences of the pulse drive circuit over the ECC. Firstly, being considered that the optimum is reached at the maximum motor torque, the optimal pulses frequency has been established around 4 kHz. Secondly, the switches over-voltages at the ommutations moments being a serious drawback of the ECC, are analyzed the influence of the fixed capacitor value and the dead time of the pulse shape over the MOS-FET power transistors of the bidirectional switches over-voltages. The overvoltages diminish as both the capacitor value and the dead time diminish. More than that, in contrast with some authors, there are no disadvantages as dead time became zero. These issues are the main contributions of this paper.

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is represented by analysis and modeling of the transformer windings stressed by over-voltage with direct impact on voltage distribution across the winding. The authors considered both approaches in modeling the winding: windings with distributed electrical parameters respectively composed from disk coils with concentrated parameters. Both types of voltages applied across the transformer winding will generate free oscillations which are analyzed further on. According to the model, the transformer’s windings are divided in several disk coils with concentrated known parameters. This results in a complete electrical network used for simulations. All simulations have been performed using the software package SYSEG (SYmbolic State Equation Generation).
