For permanent magnet machines, including brushless DC (BLDC) machines and brushless AC (BLAC) machines, rotor initial position can be estimated based on magnetic saturation effect. Many techniques have been proposed by applying voltage pulses to stator windings and using current or voltage responses to estimate the rotor initial position. Hence, a comparative study of rotor initial position estimation techniques utilizing magnetic saturation effect is carried out in this paper. Depending on different measurements or components that are used for rotor initial position estimation, 5 different methods are compared and validated by simulation and experiment results.

Disturbance and resonance effects may cause tilt vibrations in bearingless disc motors. Typically, these vibrations are only very poorly dampened by passive stabilization torques. In this paper, two strategies to actively suppress tilt vibrations are proposed: additional tilt damping by flux modulation and by radial rotor position deflection. Tilt oscillations can be reduced by modulating the magnetic air-gap flux with a d-axis current as a function of the tilt angle and its first derivative. Another option is to move the rotor towards a position offering increased tilt stiffness, depending on the tilt oscillation amplitude and speed. In order to analyse the effect, mathematical models of the two methods considering parameters of a bearingless flux-switching disc motor prototype are set up and analyzed numerically.

Due to a strong drive towards a higher power density of electrical drivetrains and the impact of cooling on their reliability, the thermal characterisation and monitoring of these systems is gaining importance. The power electronic devices driving the electrical motor in this system are often integrated within one power module, complicating temperature measurements and monitoring of the semiconductor devices. Therefore, accurate thermal models of these modules are necessary. The main challenge remains to model these thermal properties sufficiently accurate to estimate the device temperatures, while maintaining an evaluation speed fast enough to ensure safe operating temperatures in real-time. Furthermore, in the search for enhanced cooling methods, it may be interesting to compare cooling designs using simulations before or instead of experiments. To this end, this paper develops and compares the accuracy of a 3D grey-box Lumped Parameter Model of an IGBT module coupled with an interchangeable cooling model with two 1D Lumped Parameter Models. The 3D model is based on a Finite Element representation, while the 1D models are based solely on datasheet information. The different model types are discussed and compared regarding their accuracy using simulation and experimental results.

This paper proposes a novel Direct Speed Model Predictive Control (DSMPC) for PMSM drive. The developed strategy takes into consideration the difference between the electromagnetic and mechanical time constant. The predictions with different sampling periods in speed and current models of PMSM are analyzed in detail. Meanwhile, the linear estimation method is employed to avoid the large amount of calculation of torque prediction. The load torque observer and delay compensation are achieved as well. Compared with the traditional DSMPC in simulations and experiments, the proposed strategy shows a better performance.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of the impact of the gate voltage on the switching and ON-state performance of SiC MOSFETs. It is well known that the gate oxide in SiC MOSFETs is not as reliable as that in silicon MOSFETs due to increased fixed oxide and interface traps. Numerous studies have shown reduced performance on time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) and oxide robustness in SiC MOSFETs compared to silicon devices. On the one hand, a high ON-state gate-source voltage VGS is required for proper channel inversion, low ON-state loss and fast switching while on the other hand, a lower ONstate VGS reduces the electrical stress on the gate oxide and improves long term reliability. Understanding the implications of the selected gate voltage on the operation of the power device will be fundamental for achieving an optimal balance between electrical performance and gate oxide reliability. This paper shows that reducing the maximum gate driver supply voltage VGG only affects turn-ON losses while turn-OFF losses are independent of VGG. The experimental characterisation is complemented with electrothermal simulations to evaluate the impact of the gate voltage on the operation of a converter. The paper shows that reducing VGG by 10% causes an increase of 7.6% in the device losses and 1.4 °C in junction temperature in simulated converter operation. Furthermore, if the switching speed is increased by means of reducing the gate resistance, the impact of the conduction losses can be compensated. These results are fundamental for balancing system efficiency and reliability in SiC MOSFETs.

This paper presents the challenges of creating a cooling system for a permanent magnet machine with high power density. A hybrid air/water cooling system is presented with the aim of enhancing the cooling performance of the stator. Finite element calculations are first used to determine the winding loss in the stator, including skin and proximity effect. The effect of air speed, turbulence of the air flow and liquid speed have been discussed to find the best working point, using CFD simulation. The performance of the hybrid cooling system has been evaluated and design recommendations established.

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in utilising Differential Power Processing converters (DPP) in Photovoltaic (PV) applications to achieve the maximum power point tracking (MPPT), minimum losses and high efficiency under unequal lighting conditions. This paper presents a novel Series and Parallel (SP) DPP converters scheme, with a proper control technique to optimise the system output power under mismatch conditions compared to that of a conventional 2×2 SP array which is protected with bypass diodes. The simulation results of such system show significant improvements in the total power of the SP-DPP system under PSCs.
