    Lyall Cooper Dr. Dann ASR – D Block 10 May 2012 the Mighty Railgun I. Abstract the Idea of This Project Is to Build a Railgun

    Lyall Cooper Dr. Dann ASR – D Block 10 May 2012 The Mighty Railgun (All Bark no Bite) I. Abstract The idea of this project is to build a railgun capable of firing a small metal projectile at substantial velocity. The original plan was to build iterative prototypes capable of firing small projectiles, and using them to figure out the ideal design for the final version, but the smaller versions were not very successful due to their relative lack of power, so it was difficult to use them to learn what to do. The final, largest scale railgun is powered by a bank of capacitors with an equivalent capacitance of 24.6mF charged to around 350V. This produces 3013.5J of energy discharged over approximately 58.75 µs (it varies for each firing), drawing a peak of about 1425A when firing a projectile (it once again varies) and about 1600A when not firing a projectile (short circuiting the rails). The railgun is capable of consistently firing a small piece of metal (usually aluminum or copper); however the projectile does not usually travel very far, although this is hard to measure due to the nature of the gun and the speed at which the firing takes place. II. Introduction Electricity is often seemingly mysterious, but we have come to accept and understand how through the interaction of electric and magnetic fields we can create a simple motor, as we did in the first semester. A railgun is just a linear electric motor, at very high speeds. What makes it different, however, is that it uses neither magnets nor coils of wire, and relies entirely on the induced magnetic field in the rails due to the extremely large current to produce a Lorentz Force to propel the projectile (which will be discussed in greater depth in the theory section).

    Evaluation of Direct Torque Control with a Constant-Frequency Torque Regulator Under Various Discrete Interleaving Carriers

    electronics Article Evaluation of Direct Torque Control with a Constant-Frequency Torque Regulator under Various Discrete Interleaving Carriers Ibrahim Mohd Alsofyani and Kyo-Beum Lee * Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ajou University, 206, World cup-ro, Yeongtong-gu Suwon 16499, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-31-219-2376 Received: 25 June 2019; Accepted: 20 July 2019; Published: 23 July 2019 Abstract: Constant-frequency torque regulator–based direct torque control (CFTR-DTC) provides an attractive and powerful control strategy for induction and permanent-magnet motors. However, this scheme has two major issues: A sector-flux droop at low speed and poor torque dynamic performance. To improve the performance of this control method, interleaving triangular carriers are used to replace the single carrier in the CFTR controller to increase the duty voltage cycles and reduce the flux droop. However, this method causes an increase in the motor torque ripple. Hence, in this work, different discrete steps when generating the interleaving carriers in CFTR-DTC of an induction machine are compared. The comparison involves the investigation of the torque dynamic performance and torque and stator flux ripples. The effectiveness of the proposed CFTR-DTC with various discrete interleaving-carriers is validated through simulation and experimental results. Keywords: constant-frequency torque regulator; direct torque control; flux regulation; induction motor; interleaving carriers; low-speed operation 1. Introduction There are two well-established control strategies for high-performance motor drives: Field orientation control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC) [1–3]. The FOC method has received wide acceptance in industry [4]. Nevertheless, it is complex because of the requirement for two proportional-integral (PI) regulators, space-vector modulation (SVM), and frame transformation, which also needs the installation of a high-resolution speed encoder.

    Improved Direct Torque Control of Doubly Fed Induction Motor Using Space Vector Modulation

    Received: December 22, 2020. Revised: February 26, 2021. 177 Improved Direct Torque Control of Doubly Fed Induction Motor Using Space Vector Modulation Mohammed El Mahfoud1* Badre Bossoufi1 Najib El Ouanjli2 Mahfoud Said2 Mohammed Taoussi2 1Laboratory of engineering Modeling and Systems Analysis, SMBA University Fez, Morocco 2Technologies and Industrial Services Laboratory, SMBA University Fez, Morocco * Corresponding author’s Email: [email protected] Abstract: This research paper deals with the improved direct torque control (DTC) of a doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) operating in motor mode. The conventional DTC is a powerful tool to ensure robustness and good torque dynamics. However, the variable switching frequency as well as the presence of torque and flux ripples due to the use of hysteresis controllers are the major drawbacks of this strategy. For this purpose, the control by space vector Modulation (SVM) is developed to improve DTC performance, by replacing hysterisis controllers by PI controllers to reduce electromagnetic flux ripple and torque ripple in order to minimize mechanical vibration and acoustic noise while maintaining the benefits of DTC control. The proposed control algorithm is simulated and tested in MATLAB/Simulink. A comparative analysis between this technique and conventional DTC is carried out, highlighting the efficiency of the proposed improvement approach. The performance indexes and comparative results show the effectiveness of the proposed control in reducing torque ripple and stator and rotor flux ripple by up to 43%, 42% and 31%, respectively, resulting in Total Harmonic Distortion (THD%) 61% lower, in addition the switching frequency is controlled, and the Rejection Time is improved by more than 76%.

This paper presents a unique direct torque control (DTC) approach for induction motor (IM) drives fed by using a fuzzy logic controller. The intention is to develop a low-ripple high-performance induction motor (IM) drive. The presented scheme is founded on the emulation of the operation of the conservative six switch three-phase inverter. It routines the dc current to re-construct the stator currents desired to estimate the motor flux and the electromagnetic torque. This methodology has been adopted in the design of the vector selection table of the suggested DTC approach through fuzzy logic controller. The modelling and simulation results of direct torque control of induction motor have been confirmed by means of the software package MATLAB/Simulink. Keywords:- Direct Torque Control, Fuzzy Logic Controller, Induction Motor, Direct Torque Control Fed Induction Motor. I. INTRODUCTION For high power industrial applications it is desirable to use AC motor drive instead of DC drive. But due to inherent torque coupling present in AC motor, the dynamic response becomes sluggish.

By comparing the pros and cons of eight candidates of evaluation boards, the TMS320F28335 DSP Experimenter Kit is selected as the digital controller of the vector control system. Necessary peripheral and interface circuits are built for the signal measurement, the three-phase inverter control and the system protection. These circuits work appropriately except that the conditioning circuit for analog-to-digital con- version contains too much noise. At the stage of the control algorithm design, the designed vector control system is simulated in Matlab/Simulink with both S-function and Simulink blocks. The simulation results meet the design specifications well.
