Abstract
The unique characteristics of the main exciter (ME) in the brushless synchronous starter/generator (BSSG) have been extensively studied to achieve sensorless starting control. However, the existing methods face drawbacks such as insufficient dynamic performance, complex demodulation processes, and estimation phase delays. In this article, the dynamic characteristics of ME rotor currents are analyzed and summarized quantitatively. Based on these characteristics, a novel sensorless starting control method is proposed. First, a position detection method of signal reconstruction is established. The rotor position can be derived from the complex dynamic features of estimated ME rotor currents. Meanwhile, a parameter estimation method for ME at a standstill is proposed by utilizing the current characteristic in the commutation interval. With this method, the stator parameters of ME can be estimated with a single $\alpha $-axis voltage and current, removing the restriction of the commutation mode of rotating rectifier in ME parameter estimation. Finally, the sensorless starting control of BSSG is realized with the proposed methods.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics journal covers all issues of widespread or generic interest to engineers who work in the field of power electronics. The Journal editors will enforce standards and a review policy equivalent to the IEEE Transactions, and only papers of high technical quality will be accepted. Papers which treat new and novel device, circuit or system issues which are of generic interest to power electronics engineers are published. Papers which are not within the scope of this Journal will be forwarded to the appropriate IEEE Journal or Transactions editors. Examples of papers which would be more appropriately published in other Journals or Transactions include: 1) Papers describing semiconductor or electron device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices. 2) Papers describing applications in specific areas: e.g., industry, instrumentation, utility power systems, aerospace, industrial electronics, etc. These papers would be more appropriate for the Transactions of the Society which is concerned with these applications. 3) Papers describing magnetic materials and magnetic device physics. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. 4) Papers on machine theory. These papers would be more appropriate for the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems. While original papers of significant technical content will comprise the major portion of the Journal, tutorial papers and papers of historical value are also reviewed for publication.
