Suganthi vinodhini and R. Samuel Rajesh Babu Research Scholar, Sathyabama University, India Abstract: In electric traction application electrical energy used was: 1.direct current and 2.alternating current. In this world already a constant voltage constant frequency single phase and three phase AC readily available. For some applications it is needed to have variable voltage and variable frequency for this conversions need between dc and ac sources and this conversion can be carried out by power converters. For converting AC–AC cycloconverter are widely used as a converter. The ns of alternating current drives relates with the frequency (f) and number of poles (p) present in the induction motor. It is not feasible by changing the poles of a motor under running processes, so the only one way during running condition the frequency can be varied. In the absence of direct current (DC) link with constant voltage constant frequency alternating current to variable voltage variable frequency alternating current is needed to run the electric traction applications, so the cycloconverter will make this as possible with reliable and economical. This work explains how to control the speed of single phase induction motor and single phase to single phase Cycloconverter using different frequency conversions with R Load was carried out using MATLAB / Simulink.

The current-to-torque and frequency-to-speed relationships of BLDC motors are linear. BLDC motors may be described as stepper motors, with fixed permanent magnets and possibly more poles on the rotor than the stator, or reluctance motors. The latter may be without permanent magnets, just poles that are induced on the rotor then pulled into alignment by timed stator windings. However, the term stepper motor tends to be used for motors that are designed specifically to be operated in a mode where they are frequently stopped with the rotor in a defined angular position; this page describes more general BLDC motor principles, though there is overlap.

  • Optimization of Powertrain in EV
    energies Article Optimization of Powertrain in EV Grzegorz Sieklucki Department of Power Electronics and Energy Control Systems, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-059 Krakow, Poland; [email protected] Abstract: The method for preliminary powertrain design is presented in the paper. Performance of the EV is realized by motor torque–speed curve and gear ratio optimization. The typical two-zone mechanical characteristic of a PMSM traction motor is included in the optimization program. The longitudinal vehicle model is considered in the paper. Some examples try to show the calculation possibilities in application to existing vehicles: Tesla Model S and Mini Cooper SE. Keywords: electric vehicle; electromechanical systems; optimization; multi-objective optimization; field weakening; traction motors; kinematics; motor torque; gear 1. Introduction The conversion of electrical energy into mechanical is very important for the drive in an Electric Vehicle (EV) and optimization of the car performance is discussed in the article. The path from battery to a traction force FT on the car wheels is called powertrain [1,2]. The presented optimization problem can be used to design preliminary powertrain in a EV. The torque–speed curve (mechanical characteristics) [3] of PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) is introduced. This type of motor is the most popular in car manufacturers (Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Renault), but Tesla induction motor characteristics are also considered. The EV mathematical model is presented more precisely than in [4]. Citation: Sieklucki, G.

  • Electrics of Diesel Locomotive
    Electrics of Diesel locomotive Introduction Most of the Diesel Electric Locomotives serving in Indian Railways are single engined with one DC self ventilated, separately excited, single bearing main generator. However, in order to improve the reliability and reduce maintenance DC generator is replaced by a Traction Alternator and rectifier in latter generation locomotives. This supplies power to six nose suspended, force ventilated, series wound DC motors connected in three series pairs. Of late, Indian Railways have introduced GM locomotives with state of the art AC-AC locomotives. These locomotives have AC Traction Generator and AC Traction Motors. Power for electrically driven auxiliaries and control circuits is obtained from a self-excited, self ventilated auxiliary generator mounted on the end of main generator. This also supplies the battery charging current. Output of auxiliary generator is maintained constant at different speed by a voltage regulator. It also takes care about the limit of current going out to avoid damage to the generator. 8 lead acid batteries in series with four cells per battery, being provided for starting the engine by motoring the main generator, and to supply all the control circuits and the locomotive lighting. The locomotive is provided with electrical end jumper cables to enable it to work in multiple with a number of other locomotives. Power Circuits The main generator is basically separately excited with or without a differential series field to give the required characteristic form (Fig.E 2.1). Each traction motor has separate reversing switch contacts for reversing the field current, and also field diverting arrangements (Fig.E-2.2).

Abstract This thesis presents the research undertaken by the author within the field of intelligent traction motor control for Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. A robust Fuzzy Logic (FL) based traction motor field-orientated control scheme is developed which can control multiple motor topologies and HEV/EV powertrain architectures without the need for re-tuning. This control scheme can aid in the development of an HEV/EV and for continuous control of the traction motor/s in the final production vehicle. An overcurrent-tolerant traction motor sizing strategy is developed to gauge if a prospective motor’s torque and thermal characteristics can fulfil a vehicle’s target dynamic and electrical objectives during the early development stages of an HEV/EV. An industrial case study is presented.

  • Characteristics Analysis of Doubly Fed Magnetic Geared Motor Considering Winding Frequency Conditions
    energies Article Characteristics Analysis of Doubly Fed Magnetic Geared Motor Considering Winding Frequency Conditions Homin Shin and Junghwan Chang * Mechatronics System Research Lab., Department of Electrical Engineering, Dong-A University, Saha-gu, Busan 49315, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-051-200-7735 Received: 28 August 2018; Accepted: 20 September 2018; Published: 26 September 2018 Abstract: The magnetic geared motor, which has improved torque density because of the magnetic gearing effect, has been researched. However, its narrow operating region due to the operating mechanism by the magnetic gearing effect and field flux by the PM is a challenge that needs to be overcome. Whereas, the doubly fed magnetic geared motor (DFMGM) can extend the operating region because of the double stator and double winding structure with the individual frequency control of the current fed to the inner and outer windings. However, two rotating magnetic fields, which are produced by the inner and outer winding flux, exist at the air-gap, and the large numbers of space harmonic components of the modulated flux density are produced at the air-gaps. These space harmonic components, which are produced by the winding MMF, influence not only the back-EMF of the winding but also the performances of the operating torque. Besides, the inner and outer windings affect each other in the back-EMF, and its characteristics appears differently in the inner and outer windings. Thus, in this paper, the structure, operating strategy, and basic characteristics according to the frequency condition in the inner and outer windings are presented.
